Wine Me, Dine Me

Texas is the fifth state in wine production in the country, and we've got Grapevine to thank for its part in achieving that ranking. The home of nine wineries and GrapeFest, the largest wine festival in the Southwest, Grapevine, Texas, is more than just a place to shop. On Friday and Saturday, you can swirl, sniff, swish and swallow to your heart's content at the 14th Annual Grapevine New Vintage Wine Trail. On Friday night, the weekend's festivities start with the Jazz Wine Train. All aboard at 6:40 p.m., with a 7 p.m. departure time--the wine train includes dinner, live music and vino from Grapevine wineries. Tickets are $50 per person.
