If you live in or around Houston, Texas, you know that the month of March means “Rodeo” in the Bayou City. Before all you non-Texans roll your eyes and start muttering pejoratives, I challenge you to come down to the largest city in the Lone Star State and at least attend the event before you criticize.

[Full disclosure: before I moved here and attended the rodeo, I would have been the first to lambaste a rodeo and those who choose to attend one, but not anymore!]

As many of you may already know, I have served as a judge for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Wine Competition (one of the largest in the country) and in this month’s article in the Spring Branch Plus Magazine, I look over the menu at the Rodeo’s Wine Garden and offer my picks as the “wines to drink” while visiting the event.
