Texas Tuesday Ya'll

I am back for Texas Tuesday and since I talked about the Rivers in my first Texas Tuesday post I am going to move down the street and talk about Gruene.

Every year when we go to the river we try and hit up a concert at Gruene Hall and/or go to the Gristmill. Gruene – one of Texas’ oldest dance halls is definitely an experience - nothing compares to seeing some good live Texas Country in that little hall…oh that also has NO A/C – it’s all about the memories people!

You want front row this is what you do, keepin' in classy

The Gristmill located right next door is a restaurant built out of an old cotton mill. We definitely go here every time we have a river trip because no river trip is complete with out their Sangria – served in a mason jar of course and their amazeballs Chicken Fried Steak. ß---- this is the one time a year I generally eat chicken fried steak too, its that good.

There are also a few little wineries around town that are in walking distance. We went to one last year – Winery on the Green, and for $5 yes only $5 you can try I think it was 4 different wines of your choice. We did a few of their fruit infused wines which were really good and even bought some bottles. All fairly priced – and I do mean that, I am a cheap wine drinker they were all mostly $15 and under. We bought the Pomegranate Wildberry ($10.95) and the Blueberry Shiraz ($10.95). I would love to go back and do the winemaking class that they have too.

 

 If you need a break from the river or just driving through the hill country for a visit these places are a must!
