Sample a variety of wines from Texas Wineries in 10 categories (White: Dry, Semi-sweet, Sweet, Blends, Blush/Rose; Red: Light, Medium, Bold, Sweet and Red Blends).

    Guests at the People's Choice Wine Tasting Classic, sponsored by Audi Grapevine, receive a wine reference guide describing the featured wines, along with a ballot to select their favorites.
