(ImpactNews) - Texas is the fifth-largest wine-producing state in the nation, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture. With more than 220 wineries—compared to 46 a decade ago—the Texas wine industry is growing. Craig Pinkley and his wife, Beth, are part of the trend. In June 2011, they opened the Pilot Knob Vineyard wine tasting room about 20 miles north of Leander. The venue—with wood floors, high ceilings and rustic decor—overlooks the vineyard to the north and rolling hills to the south.
