Cowtown Winery

A very nice tasting room in the middle of cow-town. One long bar and that is it. About 12 chairs total. Not a good place to sit and relax, just taste.

Wine tasting at its finest

We visited this winery when we were visiting family for Thanksgiving in November 2012.  We just opened a bottle of the wine this past week and I remembered I still needed to write a review!

This is a small/cramped winery, but I love how they do the tastings.  Rather than just standing around at most wineries, it is bar style so you can sit and enjoy your tastings, rather than rushing through.  The tastings are much different than the ones in NC and TN - where you get to try all of their wines or most of their wines, by just having a small sip.  Here you get to taste 4 wines but you get large portions.  If I were by myself, I would have wanted the way NC/TN did theirs.  Since Kevin and I went, he got 4 different than I did, so in all we tried 8 of their wines.  We tried the sweet/fruity wines.  I liked the Ambush, but Kevin just thought it was okay.  We thought the Strawberry was okay as well.  The others were just so-so or not liked.  But the one that we loved - the Peach.  We ended up having 3/4ths of the bottle the first night we opened it this week.  Luckily we have family in the area and we will have to request that they bring us a bottle the next time that they come and visit us!

I do love their wine glasses, it definitely was a nice souveneir for us to bring back with us to NC.  I like the image of the longhorn on front - very Texas, and I like how they have the winery name on it, plus mentions Fort Worth Stockyards - just makes it very memorable.

I give them 4 stars just because it is a little cramped and because most of the wines we tried were just so so.  I do give that peach wine 5 stars though!
