Fort Stockton, Texas
Ste. Genevieve Wines

IF IT'S FROM TEXAS, it's probably popular. Western clothes and Tex-Mex cuisine are hot and getting hotter. Handmade cowboy boots have shown up on the feet of Hollywood's most notable celebrities. But the last thing most people expected to be the next big thing from Texas was wine. Until recently, that is.

Ste. Genevieve Wines are turning up on tables all over. The largest of Texas' 54 wineries, Ste. Genevieve is one of the fastest growing wines in the country. Quality is the reason. Ste. Genevieve wines hold their own in state, national, and international competitions. As a result, Ste. Genevieve is now among the best selling brands in the state.

Few people realize that there was a thriving commercial wine industry in Texas more than a hundred years before the California wine business began. Today, Texas is the ninth largest wine producing state.

The majestic mesas depicted on the Ste. Genevieve label make their own contribution to the vineyards. Wine grapes require well-drained, sandy soil; a soil rich in calcium is best. Because the mesas are limestone mountains topped with layers of sandstone, centuries of erosion have covered the Escondido Valley below with near perfect calcareous soil.

Ste. Genevieve offers Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Gamay, White Zinfandel, and Red Zinfandel, plus their special blends - Texas Red, Texas White, and Texas Blush.
