Signor Vineyards was born of a friendship spanning three generations of two Texas families, the Signors, and the Weisingers. The winery grounds are a veritable park-like wonderland. The beautiful, mature, manicured grounds are a pleasant surprise. There are flowers and trees and hedges and winding paths and tables for enjoying the outside.
Lewis Wines is a relatively new winery with a young, energetic and dedicated staff, from the owners—Doug Lewis and Duncan McNabb — to the individuals who man the tasting room.

Although the sun shines brightly, the wind whips around us and I race forward trying to outrun the uncomfortable chill factor as we make our way from the car to the Lavender Haus event center at Becker Vineyards for the Chef’s Table Luncheon.

Simply put, I love Texas. I have lived almost my entire life in this state. Born and raised in San Antonio, I spent the majority of my adult life in Fort Worth, in addition to ten years—on and off—sailing in and around the Gulf Coast on our 40’ Endeavor, Island Rose. For the past ten years, my husband and I have called Wimberley home—and if I love Texas—I adore the Texas Hill Country.
We have traveled extensively in this state--from deep East to far West, from North to South--and have probably been on more back roads and in more towns than anyone I have encountered. I AM a Texan—through and through!
I’m a foodie. I love to cook. I am a good judge of what is excellent, what is not. We will drive two-and-a-half hours for Saturday lunch; for the journey and the destination. I love picnics and trying out local wineries. Food and wine pairings draw me like a magnet. And music—all kinds. Concerts are on the menu at our house every year, be they concerts in a house, in a park, in a barn, in an auditorium or at a winery--we're there.
I paint. I cook. I entertain. I love back country roads and small towns—we own two convertibles so I can be sure that nothing bars the experience of just being there.
I finally decided it was time to share my love of this state and these hills with anyone who will listen or read, letting them in on on the famous, the infamous and the not so famous places that dot the countryside and cities. I'll share stories, experiences, and recipes.
Hopefully, you will come along for the ride, blaze your own trails and let me know if you are having fun. If you step out your door and take a chance, I know that you will!
