For the fourth year in a row, the family visited Becker Vineyards [1]in Stonewall, Texas for a picnic and wine tasting over Spring Break. We are thrilled to report that the Beckers are adding a large, dramatic (high, high ceilings), panel-lined tasting room behind the current tasting bar. This is a good thing because the tasting room was packed throughout our picnic. The children look forward to the picnic as much as the adults. There’s a nice grassy lawn area where the kids run around and kick around the soccer ball, and an aging horse in a pasture nearby that they like to pet from the fence. The menu is aways the same: Anne Willan’s Pan Bagnat from her cookbook Good Food No Fuss, Texas goat cheese (Cheesy Girl [2] out of Sealy is what we are into lately and it is yummy.) on crackers, black seedless grapes and of course a Becker wine. Typically we taste the Becker wines that are only sold at the winery. We sampled the new Fleur Savage, an off-dry Chenin Blanc billed as a sweet wine. It made for some easy lunchtime sipping and paired nicely with the sandwich. I am not a big Pinot Grigio drinker, but also enjoyed the Pinot Grigio. -alyce eyster
