Plus, 10 recommended wines from Hill County to keep on your radar.
The scene at Adega Vinho winery’s vineyard in Stonewall, Texas, the day after a savage storm struck, in June. Around 5:30 in the afternoon of June 21, a storm swept through the small town of Stonewall in the Texas Hill Country west of Austin. Straight-line 80 mph winds blew out of the northwest and flattened eight acres of Adega Vinho winery’s 14-acre vineyard, snapping the steel posts supporting the vines and bending the vine trunks at a 90-degree angle just above the ground.
The cavalry arrived the next day. Neighboring wineries sent vineyard workers to help. Club members showed up to volunteer. It took two days to bend the vines upright and install new trellising.“We had two miracles,” Andy Bilger said later. The spring had been cool and unusually rainy up until early June, rejuvenating the wines after a drought in 2022. “The vines were refreshed and supple so they didn’t snap in the wind. The second miracle was the community really came together and helped.
The Hill Country is the tourism center for Texas wine, given its proximity to Austin and San Antonio. Wineries here often foster a sense of community, enlisting club members to help at events. My San Antonio friends, Miriam and Doug Juckett, discovered this community three years ago as refugees from covid lockdown fatigue and introduced me to several wineries where they are now regulars.
