The West Texas Wine Tour is up and running again this Saturday. One pass will take you to Llano Estacado, Farmhouse Vineyards, and Triple D Winery. It looks like they do this every month, so I’ll do my best to keep all you wine lovers updated.

THE MENU

The Plains Brew Co has another hit on their hands. We stopped by last week for their tavern opening, and tried their new stout: it has the right amount of bitterness and an excellent aroma.

Micky has really transformed the place since I last saw it. It’s kid friendly (we saw quite a few playing board games), there’s pool, darts, and a beanbag toss. At only $3.50/pint, you can’t beat it. There was a great turnout, possibly even a bit more than expected:

He’ll be open on Saturdays from 2-9pm from now on, so head on out!
