The Vineyard
AVA: Texas High Plains
Tended to by the modern pioneers of Texas vineyard management, Andy and Lauren Timmons planted Lost Draw Vineyard way back in 2005. Their 75 acres are devoted to grapes that can be grown sustainably in the semiarid Texas High Plains AVA, as are the other vineyard sites they manage. Sustainability means farming that focuses on the future grapevine health.
