Tour about Texas - Wines Big Enough for Texas. Did you know? With a total economic impact of more than $170 million a year, the Texas wine industry is deeply rooted in the Lone Star State's future. Wine operations extend from the Panhandle to the sandy shores of the Gulf Coast. Currently, Texas has more than 100 wineries and is the nation's fifth largest wine producing state.
How a Texan Saved the French Wine Industry
"Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913), the internationally known horticulturist from Denison, Texas developed over 300 varieties of new grape varieties specifically for the American South and Southwest. He is perhaps best known for his work in fighting the phylloxera epidemic of the late nineteenth century, which nearly wiped out the world's vineyards. His solution - grafting Vitis vinifera onto certain resistant native rootstocks from Texas - earned him the Chevalier du M?rite Agricole in the French Legion of Honor and numerous accolades from around the world.
Munson belonged to and was honored by a number of viticultural and scientific associations and was considered a leader in the new scientific movement of the time for his cutting-edge work in breeding plant varieties, some of which are still important in modern viticulture and research.
