Ramesh and Michael pose with the giant longhorn piňata,  later named  Shiner, in the front yard of Casa Belisle

Texas BBQ ribs are on the menu for this first night - here are the guys at the BBQ Station.
 

Ramesh and Lyn chow down on good food and Mexican beer.

After dinner, there's a fire and some nice wine and conversation

Ramesh and Lyn do a search for the Texas Wine Trails and find lots of possibilities.

Before we hit the trail, we stop by my office at Trinity University - never an end to last-minute work.

First stop - Texas Hills Vineyard. Ramesh says that it takes a visit from him to get us to good wine producers who are less than an hour away from us.

Michael tries the Muscato - not bad☺.

Cheers! Time to hit the trail. Texas Hills Vineyards is definitely worth a visit.
