Bob Landon, president of Landon Winery in Texas, has encouraged wine lovers to give Texas wines another try. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Landon explained his belief that the Lone Star State’s wines are now receiving well-deserved recognition. He pointed to increased quality and the growing number of wineries that are making wines that are being compared favorably to those from more traditional regions. Landon’s comments come as Texas continues to expand its winemaking industry, with several vineyards now producing high-quality wines that are gaining national attention.
Landon, who has been in the winemaking industry for over two decades, notes that the state’s climate and soil are becoming increasingly favorable for grape cultivation. He emphasized that Texas’s diverse microclimates allow for a wide range of grape varieties to thrive, resulting in a unique and flavorful wine experience. ‘I think many wine enthusiasts haven’t had the chance to experience the full range of what Texas has to offer,’ Landon said. ‘That’s why I’m encouraging people to give our wines a second look.’
The winery has recently launched a new line of wines aimed at appealing to a broader audience, including both domestic and international consumers. Landon also mentioned the support from local and state officials who are helping to promote Texas wines through various marketing initiatives. ‘There’s a growing recognition that Texas can compete on the world stage with its wines,’ he added. Landon’s advocacy is part of a broader movement within the state’s wine industry to elevate its profile and create more opportunities for local producers.
