Get ready to embark on a unique wine journey with Episode 50 of the Texas Under Vine podcast! We'll be exploring the fascinating world of Haak Vineyards, a winery with a rich history and a passion for crafting exceptional wines. Join us as we sit down with winemaker and one of the owners, Kyle Johnston, to learn about their unique Madeira wine program. As one of only four wineries in the United States grandfathered in to use the protected name "Madeira," Haak Vineyards is a true pioneer in the world of wine. We'll also delve into their Viking-themed tasting experiences at the Texas Renaissance Festival, a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
