The Vineyard

AVA: Texas High Plains

Nestled in Meadow, Texas, Buena Suerte was planted in 2009 by Bill and Gail Day. They named the vineyard "Good Luck" and aptly planted it with wine grapes that would one day make lucky wine drinks for all who would sip the wine grown there. Luck aside, the selection of grape varieties planted on the 50 acres of deep, sandy loam soil was well chosen for proven sustainability in the High Plains of Texas.
