  Halfway between Castroville and Hondo, this place is easy to miss in the wide spot in the road on Hwy 90 called Dunlay. They give lat and long of the vineyard on their web site for your GPS and it is probably advisable to use it. The place is on the south side of Hwy 90. We passed it up and had to circle back. The vineyard consists of two acres of Tempranillo and black Champanel grapes so you get an idea of the size of the place. The tasting house consists of what looks like a very large metal shed, but looks better on the inside than it does out.I elected to have a glass of the house-made sangria which was passable. There were only two wines that were mde on premises and the rest were other Texas vineyard wines. Not exactly what we were hoping for in the way of new wines we had not tasted. The tasting room does have some food and condiment bric-a-brac, but nothing special.Not to be unfairly critical, but the visit here bordered on a waste of time. Too many other nice wineries to visit around the San Antonio area and beyond to make a special trip to this one.
