FamilY FUN Got a week to spend in the Metroplex with your little ones? We’ve got you covered. BY TeReSa GUBBiNS

Dear Visitor:

Welcome to Historic Grapevine, Texas. Conveniently tucked away between Dallas and

Fort Worth and home to DFW International Airport, Grapevine is an oasis of summertime

fun for visitors. Our City is the perfect spot for a summertime getaway, whether it’s for

an afternoon, a weekend, or longer.

Hop aboard the Grapevine Vintage Railroad this summer and enjoy more than just a

train — ride the rails for a true bonding experience for the entire family. The Grapevine

Vintage Railroad travels along the historic Cotton Belt Route between Grapevine and

the Fort Worth Stockyards. Passengers enjoy riding in authentic 1920s and 1930s

Victorian-style coaches as they take a step back in time and experience train travel

as it was in the glory days of the expanding West. Pull into the Fort Worth Stockyards

Station and you’ll be right in the middle of the Stockyards National Historic District,

where the Old West comes alive.

When summer’s heat kicks in, cool off with an escape to the sparkling waters of Lake

Grapevine. With more than 8,000 acres of recreational water, Lake Grapevine offers

something for everyone — boating, fishing, sailing, personal watercraft, and more. Explore

the hike & bike trails that line the shore, including some of the toughest mountain

bike trails in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Go camping at the Vineyards Campground,

complete with RV and tent sites, free WiFi, full service cabins with air conditioning, a

pavilion, boat ramp, nature trail, playground, and much more.

If hitting the links is your thing, Grapevine offers 81 holes of premier golf, with

plenty of summertime specials. Golf enthusiasts can play all three of Grapevine’s top

ranked golf courses, or head to the innovative Texas Indoor Golf facility, which features

simulated golf action on famous courses in a climate-controlled setting.

And it’s never too early to start making plans to come back to Grapevine this fall.

Grapevine is home to several festivals and events each year. One of these is GrapeFest,

the largest wine festival in the Southwest and a celebration of Texas wines. Join both

wine novices and connoisseurs for four full days of fun September 13, 14, 15, and 16 at

one of 2007’s Top 100 events in North America.

Whether coming in for GrapeFest, another excursion, or just some good old-

fashioned summertime fun, Grapevine has something for everyone this summer. We

hope that your visit is memorable and that you will come back again to experience

Grapevine’s hospitality.

William D. TaTe Mayor

Summertime in Grapevine means

swimming and fishing on Lake

Grapevine, camping, riding the

Grapevine Vintage Railroad, golfing,

biking, and many other outdoor

— and indoor — pursuits.

Kids around town are already counting down the days to the 10th Annual Butterfl y Flutterby on

Saturday, October 20. Activities start at 10 a.m. with the Gossamer Parade, a showcase of kids and

pets in shimmering costumes progressing boisterously down Main Street. At scheduled intervals

throughout the day, children come to the stage to release monarch butterfl ies en masse, watching

them fl utter off toward Mexico. Festivities are planned until 2 p.m., so be sure to check out the

best-costume awards (by age for the kiddos and overall for pets); family-friendly arts, crafts, and

exhibits, as well as gardening seminars and live entertainment. :: aNNa PhilPOT

Mark your calendar for a holiday visit to Grapevine, the “Christmas Capital of Texas”, with its

dazzling decorations, diverse shopping, and unmatched family fun.

Marching bands and lighted fl oats illuminate Main Street at the annual Parade of Lights,

North Texas’s largest lighted Christmas parade. But the lights aren’t just for landlubbers.

Lighted boats buoy Christmas cheer across Lake Grapevine in the Twinkle Light Parade.

“Christmas on Main” adds old-fashioned Christmas cheer to the unique shopping downtown

with strolling entertainers, seasonal characters, horse-drawn trolley rides, and more. Nearby, the

Cotton Belt Depot is bustling with festivity (and photo ops) with its animated decorations, thousands

of lights, and the Grapevine Vintage Railroad’s popular North Pole Express excursion, which

runs Nov. 30, Dec. 1-2, Dec. 7-9, Dec. 14-16, and Dec. 21-22. For more information, please visit

www.GrapevineTexasuSA.com or www.gvrr.com.

Even if the Texas weather is mild, there’s a winter wonderland at the Gaylord Texan’s annual ICE!

exhibit (Nov. 16 – Dec. 31), where Chinese artisans turn almost two million pounds of the frozen

stuff into life-size, hand-carved holiday ice sculptures. Or to experience Santa’s workshop come

alive, secure tickets to Th e Best Time of the Year at the Palace Th eater, brought to you by the

Gaylord Texan Resort. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning September 15. Visit

www.gaylordhotels.com for more information.

And keep an eye out for Santa. Grapevine is among his favorite spots, and he makes

visits throughout town. :: R.S.m.

’Tis the Season …

Winging itGrapevine’s Butterfl y Flutterby is a fl eeting good time.

For the fi rst time in its fi ve-year history, the 2007 ItalianCarFest

has the weekend to itself.

“We’ve always held it in conjunction with GrapeFest, but it really

has become a destination in itself,” says Bob Dezzany, chairman

and one of the founders of the event. “When we started, we had

three to four thousand people coming out; this year, we expect to

have 8,000 to 10,000.”

ItalianCarFest will feature 160 Italian cars and 25 two-wheelers

at Oak Grove Park on the southern shore of Lake Grapevine. Th is

year’s featured marque is Lamborghini, and the featured model is

the Fiat 124 Spider. In celebration, the show will exhibit Spiders

built from 1968 to 1985 and will have a “Best Spider Challenge,”

featuring cars selected by four Fiat car clubs around the country.

“We’re doing some great things to make our fi fth anniversary

special, both for our entrants and our visitors,” Dezzany says. “We

really enjoy seeing people’s reaction to the cars. Most people don’t

realize the breadth of [Italian] cars out there; we’ve got everything

from Alfas and Fiats to Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

ItalianCarFest is Saturday, Sept. 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Oak

Grove Park, with social events for entrants on Friday and Saturday

night at the Gaylord Texan Resort. Admission to Saturday’s show is

$10, with proceeds benefi ting the Grapevine Heritage Foundation

and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For more information, visit

Sometimes the soul craves green — gorgeous fl owers,

shady trees, and soothing spaces. Busy streets and

stimulating entertainment are exciting, but occasionally

you need to recharge somewhere eco-friendly. Grapevine

doesn’t disappoint.

Start at the Botanical Gardens (411 Ball St., 817-410-

3347), a nearly 10-acre haven only a few blocks from Main

Street. Th e hundreds of varieties of plants on display attract

butterfl ies and birds while tantalizing your senses with

colors and scents. Rest at benches surrounding fountains

or wander along paths and ornamental bridges.

For a glimpse of the wilder side of nature, explore Bear

Creek Park (3230 S. State Hwy. 360), 51 acres of native

Texas habitat in the middle of the city. Stroll along a one-

mile paved trail, where you’ll fi nd interpretative stations

and rest areas.

Th en lace up your walking shoes and head to Grapevine’s

extensive trail system. Nearly 22 miles of hard-surface trails

connect parks, schools, and Historic Downtown Grapevine.

(Request a trail map at 817-410-3122 or get one online

at www.grapevinetexas.gov.) Trails are dotted with an

innovative color-coded mile-marker system — developed

with the Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers club (www.

runnersandwalkers.com) — that allows users to start and

end at any point while still tracking their progress.

For a more watery eco-haven, visit Lake Grapevine.

Lakeside parks such as the Vineyards Campground,

Oak Grove Park, and Meadowmere feature picnic tables,

gazebos, and boat ramps. Primitive campsites are

available at Meadowmere, while the Vineyards offer

RV sites and fully furnished cabins, all for reasonable

fees. (Call 817-329-8993 for more information.) And the

ultimate outdoor chill-out? Packing your rod and reel and

while away the hours fi shing. :: elizaBeTh lUNDaY

Whether you prefer a sleeping bag on the ground or a fully-equipped cabin, the Vineyards Campground ensures a good night’s rest.

Few outdoor locales in the Dallas/Fort Worth area live up to the diversity of the Vineyards

Campground on Lake Grapevine. Located on a heavily-treed peninsula at the northern

end of N. Dooley Street in Grapevine, the campgrounds are within two miles of attractions

such as the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, Cowboys Golf Club, and Grapevine’s

Historic District. you can enjoy the splendor of the great outdoors in a park-like setting

— no need to rough it here. Recently refurbished, the campgrounds have cabins, tent sites,

and pull-through sites, all with lake and forest views. All 71 campsites have hookups for

water and 60-amp electricity, along with grills and picnic tables, and free WiFi access.

Th e Vineyards’ fi ve pristine cabins are fully furnished with linens, a stove, a microwave,

air-conditioning, heating, bathrooms, a refrigerator, and dishes. Other on-site amenities

include a group pavilion with a horseshoe pit, a fi shing pier and cleaning station, a boat

ramp, a nature trail, sand volleyball, and a playground. :: DaNiel BaRTel

Lake Grapevine’s forested shoreline boasts more than 20

miles of biking trails that offer something for every biker,

whether experienced or just beginning to ride. Weekend

warriors give a hearty grunt to a ride along the Northshore

Trail, a 9-mile course located on the lake’s north shoreline.

Several rock gardens on the trail’s west side serve up lots

of chunky, diffi cult terrain — enough to challenge those

experienced types. Th e east side’s terrain is calmer, better

suited for intermediate riders. Avid cyclists fl ood the trail

each week, so it’s best to know your skill level beforehand.

For more casual rides, there’s nearby Horseshoe Trail, a

4.5-mile course also frequented by neighborhood joggers

and dog walkers. Horseshoe Trail is mostly for beginners,

though there are plenty of rough patches to practice your

skills. Sunrise and sunset offer inspiring views of the lake

and surrounding greenery. :: D.B.

FESTIVaLS BY Paula FelPs

GrapeFest Comes of age

Having grown from a weekend event into a full four-day celebration, GrapeFest show-cases Texas wines while at the same time offers an entire slate of family fun.

And this year the festival is being co-chaired by longtime local businessman Ron Stacy and his wife, Barbara.

“As active members of the community who have volunteered countless hours to service organizations, we are so hon-ored to have them lend their name to our event,” says Gayle Hall, Director of Festi-vals and Events at the Grapevine Conven-tion & Visitors Bureau. “Their kind of spir-it and participation is what Grapevine is all about.”

“This is truly an event that has some-thing for everyone, from children to senior citizens,” says Ron Stacy. “We’ve got the KidZone, carnival games, and the midway for children, and then for adults — well, there’s plenty!”

That may be an understatement. With more than 200 Texas wines from 30-plus

Yellow Pages, Bank of the West, Borden Milk Products, Costco Wholesale, Dennis Electric, Fox Rental, Geico, Grapevine Mills, Legacy-Texas Bank, North Texas Tollway Authority, Statewide Remodeling, the Villages at Lone Oak, TXU Electric Delivery, Southern Jour-neys, and VMC Landscape Services.

wineries, GrapeFest provides attendees with plenty of tasting to tackle. Under the Gaylord Texan Pavilion, visitors can pur-chase a glass of the best Texas wines. The ever-popular GrapeStomp lets participants of all ages get their feet wet — literally — as teams try to crush the competition by stomping out the most juice from a barrel of grapes. Sam’s Club of Grapevine is pro-viding 8,000 pounds of grapes that will be stomped over the course of the weekend.

At the Champagne Terrace in Weem’s Alley, guests can enjoy champagne tast-ing, while the People’s Choice Wine Tast-ing Classic lets guests vote on the best wines at the event, with winning wineries receiving bragging rights for a full year, along with medals and glass trophies.

“This is the largest consumer-judged wine competition in the United States, and to wineries, that’s very prestigious,” Stacy notes. “It gives them a lot of credibility to be able to brag that they were judged the best by consumers — not by some panel of judges. Plus, it’s great exposure for them.”

New to GrapeFest this year is a glass-blowing competition, and the pieces cre-ated during this heated face-off will be auctioned at the Vintner’s Auction Clas-sic. This unique auction gives guests ac-cess to wine-related prizes and packages that typically wouldn’t be found in stores, and proceeds benefit the Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association and the Grape-vine Heritage Foundation.

Providing a backdrop to all these festivities is live entertainment, which plays out con-tinuously on stages sponsored by Hummer, Bud Light, and Washington Mutual.

“GrapeFest is the perfect way to experience the fun and excitement of Grapevine and all that it has to offer,” Stacy says. “This is what our city is about — family, food, and fun.”

Other sponsors for the event include Saturn, Sewell, Allied Waste Services, AT&T

Burger Bonanza

As soon as the Texas Legislature proclaimed Athens, Texas, as the birthplace of the ham-burger, a hornet’s nest of counter claims, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Akron, Ohio, start-ed swarming in. Regardless of whether the hamburger is truly a Texas invention, Tex-ans have always had a special place in their belly for the almighty burger. Here are some of Grapevine’s finest offerings.

At the top of the heap is the Texas-sized Kobe Burger at Texan Station at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center (1501 Gaylord Trl., 817-778-1000, www.gaylordhotels.com). No wonder this hefty half-pound of high-grade ground Kobe beef — open-flame grilled and served with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickles — is the only burger on their menu.

Giving the Kobe a hard run is the tan-talizing Blue Cheese Bacon Burger at Cliff’s Star Neighborhood Grill (1900 S. Main St., 817-416-0608). Melted blue cheese crumbles, bacon, tomato, lettuce, red onion and crisp sliced kosher pickles meld into a mouth-watering counterpoint for the half-pound prime choice beef on a kaiser bun.

Talk about hot! The Suicide Jack Burger at Flip’s Patio Grill (415 W. State Hwy. 114, 817-251-9800) promises a wallop with pepper jack cheese, hot cherry peppers, chopped bacon, and spicy mayo on a patty that’s ground fresh daily on the premises.

It’s a fistful, but you can still get your

mouth around Tolbert’s (423 S. Main St., 817-421-4888, www.tolbertsrestaurant.com) South of the Border Burger, which comes with fresh, homemade chunky guacamole slathered on top of a half-pound of juicy ground chuck, cooked on an open flame.

You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced the Hickory Burger at Willhoite’s (432 S. Main St., 817-481-7511, www.willhoites.com). The tangy hickory sauce works perfectly with the five-and-a-half-ounce beef patty on a toasted sesame bun. Even better are the rest of the fixin’s of melted Swiss and cheddar cheese, pickles, and onions.

Chef and owner Karl Johnson of the Grapevine Diner (3105 Ira E. Woods Ave., 817-251-5151) closely guards the recipe to his special K8 spice mix, but he uses plenty of it on every half-pound burger that hits his grill. Check out the Dragon Slayer Burger, featuring grilled onions and mushrooms, bacon, cheese, and jalapeños, all on a Kaiser bun and drizzled with homemade chili.

Ritzy’s Fresh American Diner (2225 E. Grapevine Mills Cir., 972-691-1113, www.ritzys.com) propels the burger experience into the future with a sophisticated mid-century restaurant design and enlight-ened choices such as steamed vegetables instead of the customary side of fries. All bets are on the Puttin’ on the Ritz Burger, a double patty of ground Black Angus topped with grilled ham, peppered bacon, cheddar cheese, and jalapeños.

Chuck’s All American Food & Fun (1469 State Hwy. 114 W., 817-329-9020, www.chucksoftexas.com) gives a savory nod to our neighbors to the west with its standout Santa Fe Green Chili Burger, which features green chilies, cheddar cheese, mustard, onion, lettuce, and tomato served over a flat-grilled six-ounce patty.

The popular national chain Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (1701 William D. Tate Ave., 817-481-6335, www.redrobin.com) exalts the everyday fast-food burger experience into a fashionable sit-down affair with more than 20 imaginative concoctions of burgers and a

smorgasbord of unusual toppings, including pineapple and fried eggs.

Big Daddy’s Ship’s Store and Galley @ Scott’s Landing Marina (2500 Oak Grove Park, 817-481-1237, www.scottslandingmarina.com) on Lake Grapevine is a million miles from corporate America — and so are their honest, old-fashioned burgers, never frozen and always hand formed on the spot by Big Daddy himself. Don’t leave without checking out the Bacon Pepperjack Burger.

The best-selling Build-Your-Own-Burger at Tap-In Grill & Pub (120 S. Main St. #150, 817-329-3117, www.thetapin.com) lets you make all the decisions, starting with an eight-ounce Angus beef patty. From there, the sky’s the limit, with options of grilled mushrooms and onions, cheddar, Swiss, and American cheese; jalapeños; bacon; and chili, as well as all the classic sides of tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, mayo, and mustard.

Looking for a tasty summer meal? The hamburger is well done in Grapevine.

Where’s the BeeF?

A burger doesn’t automatically mean a

ground-beef patty between a bun anymore.

Here are some great alternatives to the

traditional meat patty.

Veggie burgers and ground turkey burgers

are offered at Chuck’s all american Food

Saturday Arrive at your hotel and get acclimated to your home away from home. Kick off your week with a quintessentially Texan meal at Tolbert’s Restaurant (423 S. Main St., 817-421-4888), the acclaimed chili parlor in Historic Downtown Grapevine. Order “a Bowl of Red,” with beans or without, served with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, and chopped onions, and take in the magnificent stone fireplace.

Sunday Many Grapevine hotels offer free breakfast, so grab juice and a roll and fuel up for your big day. Then off to Ballpark Way and a Texas Rangers matinee. Even if you don’t follow baseball, you’re sure to appreciate Rangers Ballpark, a lovely, modern stadium that opened in 1994. For kids, the park has a wiffle-ball park, batting cages, and a temporary-tattoo stand. Snack-wise, skip the traditional hot dog for a shredded brisket sandwich.Follow your day at the stadium with dinner at Joe’s Crab Shack (201 Hwy. 114 W., 817-251-1515). The tin-shack fishing decor is loads of fun, and you can get all kinds of fish: crab, tilapia, fish and chips, and popcorn shrimp for the kids. As an added bonus, they have an outdoor playground on which the tots can wear themselves out.

monday Make this an active day by visiting Six Flags Over Texas (2201 Road to Six Flags, 817-530-6050). With the weekend crowds gone, you won’t have to wait in long lines, not even for the 10 new rides introduced in 2006, including the flying Batwing and the whirling Crazy Legs. But first, eat a hearty breakfast at Mimi’s Cafe (1449 State Hwy. 114 W., 817-410-7270), known for its pain perdu (cream-cheese and orange marmalade stuffed French toast).

Stay late at Six Flags to catch its newest production, Cirque Dreams Coobrila. Coobrila is an abbreviation for “cooler, brighter, later” — the themes Six Flags wants to emphasize this year. This summer, the park stays open an extra hour until 11 p.m., with a nightly parade, street bands, jugglers, performers, and lights twinkling all over the park. Cirque Dreams, produced by Cirque Productions, will transform the Music Mill Amphitheatre into a futuristic circus tent with aerial performers, special effects, laser shows, and runways into the audience.

Tuesday You’re bound for a museum day in Dallas. Splurge first at Waffle Way (1206 W. Northwest Hwy., 817-481-3908) on a waffle in flavors such as cherry, blueberry, strawberry, apple, banana, and pecan.

If it’s the first Tuesday of the month, admission to the Dallas Museum of Art (1717 N. Harwood St., 214-922-1200) is free. This summer, there’ll be a modernism exhibit with works by Joseph Stella and the whimsical Marcel Duchamp. An audio tour designed for parents and children is free. And the Gateway Gallery family area is a great place for kids to play.

A few miles away is The Women’s Museum in Fair Park (3800 Parry Ave., 214-915-0860), where everyday objects like shoes, as well as interviews with pop culture figures such as Gladys Knight, underscore the milestones in women’s history. Later, stroll the Fair Park grounds and check out the grand Hall of State building as well as the gardens, which feature a native wildlife pond and a butterfly habitat.

Dinner calls for something zesty, so head back to Grapevine for the brisket-and-sausage two-meat plate at

Bartley’s Bar-B-Que (413 E. Northwest Hwy., 817-481-3212), a family-owned treasure that’s been open since 1968.

Wednesday Follow your day of highbrow museums with lowbrow fun and games. Grapevine Mills mall (3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy., 972-724-4910) is home to GameWorks (972-539-6757), with video games, pinball machines, and more, as well as Dr Pepper StarCenter (972-874-1930), where skating commences daily at 10 a.m. Parents can window-shop solo or wait for the kids. A food court has Dickey’s Barbecue Pit (972-724-6701), and Steak ’n Shake (2205 E. Grapevine Mills Cir., 972-724-2260) is nearby.

Still more games await at Main Event (407 State Hwy. 114 W., 817-416-1111), a massive entertainment complex with bowling lanes, laser tag, billiards tables, shuffleboard, darts, and giant-screen TVs, which was recently voted the “Best Child Entertainment” by a local paper. Wednesdays from 5 to 10 p.m., a family of five can bowl for one hour, plus get pizza and soft drinks, for $36.95. (Parents can certainly order cocktails too.)

Thursday Museum day part two is in Fort Worth. On your way, hit Grapevine Diner (3105 Ira E. Woods Ave., 817-251-5151), whose spicy huevos rancheros — with eggs, onions, peppers, sausage, tomatoes, cheese, and potatoes — will cover breakfast (and lunch too.)

You’ll witness the cultural range of Cowtown best by starting at the pristine Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (3200 Darnell St., 817-738-9215), which is contrasted by the more rustic National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame (1720 Gendy St., 817-336-4475).

End your day in luxury at Mr. G’s (International Pkwy., DFW Airport Terminal C, 972-453-1234 ext. 5490), an American-cuisine gem located in the DFW Hyatt that is modeled after a 1938 gentleman’s social club. For a truly divine dining experience, try one of their seafood specialties or one of the mesquite-grilled steaks followed by virtually anything from their mouthwatering dessert cart.

Friday Today’s destination: Hurricane Harbor (1800 E. Lamar Blvd., 817-265-3356), the thrill-laden water park in Arlington. Ramp up with a morning stop at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center (1501 Gaylord Trl., Grapevine, 817-778-1000), whose lush gardens and meandering walkways match those at any amusement park. Then grab lunch here at the Riverwalk Café (817-778-2215), whose water canal is meant to evoke the original in San Antonio, before heading over to Hurricane Harbor for the rest of the afternoon.

On your way back to your hotel, contrast the sun and waves of Hurricane Harbor with a comforting bowl of tortellini in alfredo sauce at Café Italia (505 W. Northwest Hwy., 817-251-0100), a fine Italian spot owned by brothers Jimmy and Dino Ida.

Saturday Check-out time. End your visit where you started: on Main Street in Grapevine stop to enjoy flaky croissant sandwiches and foamy coffee at Main Street Bread Baking Company (316 S. Main St., 817-424-4333). Have a great trip home, and hurry back.

hOmeSTeaD WiNeRY“Our star white is Desert Rose ($10.99),” says John Hatcher, Manager. “It’s one of the most refreshing wines I’ve ever tasted in my life — it’s a dry muscat, and dry muscats are rare; they’re usually sweet.”

Hatcher says that Desert Rose has notes of grapefruit, green apple, and a little bit of apricot. “There’s nothing subtle about it,” he says. Hence the name.

“It’s the perfect salad-course wine,” he says. “It’s fabulous with a vinaigrette, with seafood and shellfi sh. I love it with lemon-crusted tilapia.”

Homestead Winery is located at 211 E. Worth St., (817) 251-9463, or online at www.homesteadwinery.com.

SU ViNO WiNeRYSu Vino, the four-year-old winery with the eye-catching handprint as a logo, offers eight different white wines, plus two sparkling wines — Almond Champagne and Raspberry Champagne — but Owner David Scott has a favorite.

“Our Gewürztraminer ($11.90),” he says. “It’s an off-dry, which means that it has just a touch of sweetness to it. It’s food-friendly and goes especially well with spicy food, from Thai to Tex-Mex.”

Scott suggests remembering the name of the bronze-and-silver-medal winner in the Lone Star International Wine Competition this way: “Girls are meaner.” Or, he says, if you want to sound like you really know what you’re talking about, just call it “Gewürz.” We’ll remember that.

Su Vino is located at 120 S. Main St., # 40, (817) 424-0123, or online at www.suvinowinery.com.

la BUeNa ViDa ViNeYaRDSWith a hint of sweetness and traces of peach and melon, La Buena Vida’s 2005 Springtown Riesling ($26.99) is poised to become this summer’s replacement for pitchers of margaritas.

“It’s very light, and with a slight, not-in-your-face sweetness,” says Owner Gina Puente-Brancato. Made from 100 percent Texas grapes from Central and South Central Texas, La Buena Vida’s Riesling is “great with spicy food and our hot summers,” says Puente-Brancato.

With a new, bright cobalt blue bottle, the Springtown Riesling is pretty enough to have its own place at the table too. Please pass the salsa.

La Buena Vida Vineyards is located at 416 E. College St., (817) 481-9463, or online at www.labuenavida.com.

la BODeGa WiNeRYIt’s not what you’d expect from, ahem, a Chardonnay.

“It more closely resembles a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pouilly-Fuissé,” says Owner Gina Puente-Brancato. “It’s a fruit-forward Chardonnay that’s crisp with just a touch of oak. It’s defi nitely a great seafood-pairing wine, and it sings beautifully with vegetarian foods too.”

Unlike California Chardonnays, which are oak-heavy, La Bodega’s Private Reserve Chardonnay ($35) has more of a green apple taste, she says. It’s a great wine for Chard-phobes, who’d rather not have the wine be heavier and more buttery than what’s on the plate.

La Bodega Winery has two locations at DFW Airport: Terminal D, Gate D14 and Terminal A, Gate A15, (972) 973-9463, and one at 416 E. College St. (817) 481-9463, or you can visit them online at www.labodegawinery.com.

lONe STaR WiNe CellaRS“Our Blanc du Bois Dry ($17) dry is the closest thing we have to a Pinot Grigio,” says Pat Joseph, Manager. “It’s crisp, clean, tart — with notes of green apple, pear, and some pineapple.”

A bronze-medal winner at the Lone Star International Wine Competition in 2005, Lone Star’s Blanc du Bois is made from a French-American hybrid of grapes grown in the Texas coastal region.

Joseph suggests pairing the versatile wine with chicken, fi sh, cheeses, or salad, but not anything grilled, because the smokiness would overwhelm the wine. “It would go well with chicken with a mango salsa, or a fl aky white fi sh,” he says. It would also make a great white sangria.” Olé! We’ll drink to that.

Lone Star Wine Cellars is located at 201 E. Franklin St., (817) 310-6388, or online at www.lonestarwinecellars.com.

D’ViNe WiNeThe famous Northern Rhône Valley grape, the Viognier, is also the name of D’Vine Wine’s top summer wine. “It’s awesome. It’s one of my favorites,” says Sebastian Gracki, Manager. “Our Viognier ($13.99) is somewhat dry and fragrant, with peach and apricot aromas — it’s great with chicken or salad.”

D’Vine’s Viognier also has a slightly spicy note, which makes it a great match for shellfi sh, Gracki says.

Overall, Gracki says that D’Vine offers 40 different varietals available for tastings, from bone-dry whites to slightly sweet Rieslings to full-bodied reds and Canadian ice wines. So there’s defi nitely something for everyone.

D’Vine Wine is located at 409 S. Main St., (817) 416-7011, or online at www.dvinewineusa.com.

DelaNeY ViNeYaRDSA fi rst-place winner as Texas Best Chardonnay at the 2006 GrapeFest, Delaney Vineyards’ 2003 Chardonnay Reserve ($16.99) is both soft and relaxing, says Kathy O’Donnell with Delaney. “It’s a delicate balance of fruit and acid, giving it a wide appeal to white wine lovers.” It’s also a great match with lighter foods, cheeses, grilled meats, and even buttered popcorn.

Delaney’s 2003 Reserve Chardonnay was just released two months ago at the Blessing of the Vines in April. Cheers.

Delaney Vineyards is located at 2000 Champagne Blvd., (817) 481-5668, or online at www.delaneyvineyards.com.

CROSS TimBeRS WiNeRYIt started as a house summer wine, really, but Cross Timbers’ Grapevine Texas Grapevine White ($12.99) has become not only a top seller, but one of its tastiest wines, too — snagging fi rst place in the People’s Choice Awards at last year’s GrapeFest.

“It’s done extremely well,” says Aimee Ybarra, Manager. “It’s a ‘table white’ — fruity, sweet, and fragrant — refreshing anytime of the year. It has a lot of pear notes, and a citrusy, almost orange fl avor to it.”

Because Grapevine Texas Grapevine White is a sweet wine, it goes well with spicy foods, from Thai to Mexican, she says. For tastes of different wines, Cross Timbers has 30 others to try too.

Cross Timbers Winery is located at 805 N. Main St., (817) 488-6789, or online at www.crosstimberswinery.com.

STem VS. STemleSS:

What’s Best?

You’ve seen them: Th ey’re everywhere, and showing up on the chicest of tables. Wine

glasses, without stems, for goodness’ sake.

“if you’re a traditionalist, you’re not ever going to get rid of your stems, but if you’re

modern, you’ll go without,” says Patricia knott, assistant manager of homestead Winery.

While knott says that going stemless is a matter of individual taste — it doesn’t really

affect the wine’s fl avor — but “it’s harder to appreciate the color and the clarity of the wine,

and [the glasses] break easily.”

another downside to the stemless glasses is that they warm up the wine. “i’m not a big

fan of the stemless,” says Sebastian Gracki at D’Vine Wine. “if you’re drinking a very fi ne

wine, you defi nitely want to stay within the proper temperature range.”

But, add both knott and Gracki, these sit-on-the-table glasses are great for picnics.

“Th ey don’t tip over as easily,” knott says.

What’s the Best Temp for Whites?

most whites are best served between

47 and 55 degrees, says Gina Puente-

Brancato, Owner of la Bodega and la

Buena Vida. No wine fridge? No problem.

Puente-Brancato suggests pulling the

wine out of the fridge about 10 minutes

before serving.

“most refrigerators are set at about

34-36 degrees,” says Puente-Brancato,

“which is too cold for wine. if it’s too

chilled, you lose all of the fl avors and

subtle notes of the wine.”

and what does she think about ice

cubes in wine? “Well, it’s frowned upon,

but it’s good, too, because people are less

intimidated about wine.”

TRaiNS ON TRaCk.

When Charlie Whiteside became superinten-

dent of operations for the Grapevine Vintage

Railroad (GVRR) in July 2006, nobody had to

explain to him how to operate or repair the

line’s 1953 GP7 diesel locomotive. After all,

he helped rebuild the same No. 2199 for the

Santa Fe Railway in 1981 during a 30-year

career in long-haul railroading.

As he approached retirement with the

union Pacific Railroad in July 2006, the 61-

year-old veteran accepted GVRR’s invitation

to take over operating responsibilities for the

excursion railroad on behalf of the Grapevine

Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The Bureau has run the Grapevine Vintage Rail-

road since December 2000, with the sponsorship

of Grapevine Towne Center shopping center.

“I enjoy railroad history and I like working

with people,” Whiteside says of his quick

decision to accept. “And I love Grapevine”

— where he and his wife, Charlyn, moved a

month after he accepted the job.

Spending half his life in railroading made

the former machinist, supervisor, and operational

manager a natural for a job that he says involves

maintenance, crew scheduling, and even helping

plan for air-conditioning some of the 1920s cars.

Just the same, it might seem like a no-pressure

dream job for a pro who once managed a Fort

Worth rail yard for union Pacific Railroad that was

a crossroads for 139 trains a day. The Grapevine

Vintage Railroad operates only three or four

round-trips a week, depending on the season. And

it operates just two locomotives compared with

the union Pacific’s 8,400. yet the 1953 diesel and

Puffy, the local line’s 1896 steam engine, provide

maintenance challenges of their own.

“When a part breaks on a steam engine,”

Whiteside observes, “you don’t just run down

to AutoZone and pick up a new one.” Some

components have to be manufactured from

scratch, at prices that could derail a bullet

train. To minimize breakage, the supervisor

and his team lavish preventive maintenance

on the two locomotives, four coaches, and two

open-air patio cars.

The train operates between Grapevine and

Fort Worth over the traditional Cotton Belt

Route every month but January, running on a

Thursday–Sunday schedule from April through

Labor Day, and Friday–Sunday all other months.

Puffy, the oldest continuously operating

steam engine in the South, handles the heavy

lifting on weekends; she catches a breather

on weekdays, when coaches follow the diesel.

During the week, diesel runs require only an

engineer and a conductor, says Whiteside, who

is qualified to handle either job. When the steam

engine is pulling the cars on weekends, a fireman

is also required, to tend the oil-fired boiler.

Grapevine travelers board at the historic

Cotton Belt Depot, 707 S. Main St., for

the round trip to the Stockyards National

Historic District in Fort Worth for Wild West

sightseeing, shopping, and dining. While they

enjoy their layover, other passengers board

for an hour-long Trinity River Run through

Cowtown uSA. The fare is $20 for adults,

$18 for seniors, and $10 for children for the

Grapevine to Fort Worth round-trip, and $10,

$8, and $6 for the Trinity River Run.

Don BeDWell IS A LOCAL FREELANCE WRITER.

all aboard!The Grapevine Vintage Railroad leaves the

Cotton Belt Depot, 707 S. Main St., at 1 p.m.

Thursday through Sunday during the summer

bound for the Fort Worth Stockyards, where

passengers disembark while others board for

the Trinity River Run. Those from Grapevine

reboard at 4:45 for the trip home. Beware

of the weekend bandits that “rob” the train

during the summer months.

Special excursions include a Hubba Bubba

Bubble Train (Aug. 18), a Labor Day Train

(Sept. 3), a Grandparents’ Day Train (Sept.

9), and GrapeFest Express Train (Sept. 13-16),

as well as a Jazz Wine Train, a Thanksgiving

Grapevine easily has bragging rights for its

superior outdoor recreational options, with 23

miles of hiking and bike trails, not to mention

Lake Grapevine.

But if you want to take your fitness indoors,

Grapevine has you covered, too, with its collec-

tion of skate parks, ice rinks, climbing walls, bowl-

ing alleys, and even miniature golf — all of which

are enclosed in blissful, air-conditioned comfort.

These indoor options allow for year-round recre-

ation and exercise.

So strap on your gloves, your knee pads, and

your helmet, and skate along through this list of

Grapevine spots where you and your family can

stay fit and keep your cool.

Dr Pepper StarCenter

Grapevine Mills, 3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy.,

(972) 874-1930

Ice skating looks so graceful that it seems

almost effortless. But one look at a skater’s

sculpted legs, and you know it provides a

workout. Here’s a fun fact: Skaters who skate

at a speed of nine miles an hour or less burn

an average of 350 calories per hour.

But the real reason to hit the rink is that ice

skating is fun.

Dr. Pepper StarCenter at Grapevine Mills is

one in a chain of seven ice rinks around the

Dallas area. It has two rinks, so games can go

on concurrently with lessons. (They call one

rink the North Pole and the other, the South

Pole — clever, eh?)

The center gives lessons in hockey and

figure skating, and offers open-to-the-public

skating sessions every afternoon and weekend

night. Rates are $6.50 for children and $7.50

for adults, plus $3.25 to rent skates. unleash

your inner Kristi yamaguchi.

main event

407 W. State Hwy. 114, (817) 416-1111

With billiards, laser tag, and video games, Main

Event makes for a multi-purpose entertainment

destination. But for an activity that gets you

up off your feet and moving, bowling wins. you

stand, bend, and hurl a ball that weighs from

six to 16 pounds. you do the limbo while you

wait for the ball to roll down the lane. you

jump in the air when it smashes the pins. No

wonder the average bowling session burns

200 calories.

Main Event has 28 lanes, and they’re all open

to the public. Fees go by the hour, rather than

by the game. If you keep your game going at a

lively pace, you can squeeze in more bowling.

Rates are $18 per hour during the day, $20 at

night, and $22 on the weekend. If you bring

in a posse of pals with whom to bowl, it’ll cost

you about $6 to $10 each. On Mondays, $10

gets you all the bowling, billiards, and laser

tag you want.

SkateTown

2330 William D. Tate Ave., (817) 329-9988

This modern, well-kept, family-owned roller-

skating rink is owned by a pair of former speed

skaters, so they know their stuff. At 16,000

square feet, the rink at SkateTown is one of the

largest in North Texas. What that gives you is

lots of open space — plenty of elbow room as

you whoosh your way around.

The rink is almost always open for public

sessions, during which you can just go in, rent

a pair of skates, and be on your way for only

$4 to $6 (plus $2 skate rental), depending on

time of day. Thursday nights from 4 to 8 p.m.

are family night, while Fridays are teenage

night, with hours extending all the way to 11

p.m. Beginners can take lessons on Saturday

mornings from 10 to 11 a.m.

Summit Climbing Gym

1040 Mustang Dr., (817) 421-3888

Owner Tim Carroll calls rock-climbing palace

Summit Climbing Gym “basically, a huge

box” whose interior is completely lined with

climbing surfaces. In the center sits a big

imitation-rock perch, like one of those crags

you’d see in utah — one more fun thing to climb.

Veteran climbers are almost superhumanly

muscular, so you know that this can be an intense

workout. But if you aren’t experienced, Summit

offers starter programs for both kids and adults

who’ve never climbed before. The facility has 120

climbing routes that vary in degree of difficulty,

from the easy wall that slopes in to the more

advanced overhanging wall that has climbers

crawling along like a spider on the ceiling.

you can get a full-day pass for $17, or become

a member with monthly dues of $40, just like at

a health club.

Woodward Skatepark of Dallas

3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy., (972) 724-4329

young teens are in heaven at this expansive,

unfettered skate park where inline skates and

skateboards are both welcome — and on certain

nights, BMX bikes too. Th is park is all about smooth

ramps, sloping inclines, and curvy sculpted bowls

— with a few urban-style railings and stairs to

keep the ride interesting. It must be a pretty good

workout, since patrons are asked to sign a waiver.

When you come to Woodward, you stay awhile:

there are three-hour sessions on weekdays for

$10 and two-hour sessions on weekends for $12.

Lessons on Th ursdays and Sundays ($30) offer a

chance to learn new techniques and tricks.

lunar Golf

Grapevine Mills, 3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy.,

(972) 691-4677

Before you jump to any conclusions about the

fi tness merits of miniature golf, consider this:

you burn about 200 calories per hour doing it.

Who has the last laugh?

Lunar Golf’s special twist on the game has to

do with its dramatic setting. It’s lit with black

lights and decorated with the requisite neon

colors, so it has an otherworldly aspect that

makes the experience quite appealing.

To play, it’s $8 per adult and $3 for children fi ve

and under. A typical stint involves three back-to-

back games for about an hour and 20 minutes of

psychedelic golfi ng fun.

Texas indoor Golf

2040 State Hwy. 121 N., (972) 471-1403,

www.texasindoorgolf.com

Here you can practice your swing at more than 60

courses from around the world, including Pebble

Beach, St. Andrew’s, and Pinehurst No. 2 all while

increasing your upper body strength (hey, its not

how you burn the calories, it’s where you burn them!)

An 18-hole round of golf costs $40, or you can play

the front nine for $25. Th ey also offer a weekday

lunch special of 30 minutes of simulator time, a

choice of entrée, and a soft drink for only $19.

Pump it Up

850 Mustang Dr., reservations: (817) 530-5600

Pump It up takes fi tness right down to children

ages fi ve and up. Th e company specializes in

giant, soft, fun-fi lled interactive infl atables, most

often rented out for parties.

Bouncing around inside an infl atable may not

seem like exercise, but it’s different when you’re a

child. As Pump It up describes it, the experience

includes bouncing, sliding, climbing, and jumping,

and even promotes social development.

you can pop in for an hour and a half of play on

Wednesday and Th ursday mornings for $5 per child.

Parents get to network too. And here’s good news:

Sitting burns about 170 calories per hour.

GReaT WOlF lODGe PROmiSeS a hOWliN’ GOOD

Time FOR FamilieS.

Between parents’ workloads and kids’ activi-

ties, today’s busy lifestyles don’t always allow

for quality family togetherness. But Great

Wolf Lodge is on the hunt to change that for

Grapevine visitors.

“That’s what Great Wolf is all about —

bringing the family back together again,” says

Jack Bateman, General Manager at the new

Great Wolf Lodge, a 404-suite resort with a

mega-indoor water park, slated to open by

year’s end at 1400 E. Hwy. 26, across from the

Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center.

With its north woods feel and 98,000 square

feet of indoor entertainment, Great Wolf is

the first of its kind in the Southwest. “The

Great Wolf Lodge is going to offer this unique

family entertainment and one-of-a-kind resort

experience year-round,” says Bateman.

With a construction cost topping $100

million, the eight-story Great Wolf Lodge is

a 450,000-square-foot, year-round water

park resort. The Great Wolf experience begins

as soon as guests enter the hotel, where

they’re greeted by a north woods-themed

environment, a great clock tower, and — on the

other side of a nearby glass wall — a sprawling

water park where it’s always “a comfortable 84

degrees,” Bateman notes.

The 80-foot-tall indoor water park offers

a wave pool, a recreation pool, a zero-depth

entry children’s activity pool, a river current,

and whirlpools. Nine waterslides include kiddie,

tube, raft, and body slides, as well as thrill rides

like the Howling Tornado funnel slide. It also

features Great Wolf’s signature tree-house

water fort, an interactive structure with 12

levels, suspension bridges, cargo nets, web

crawls, and a massive 1,000-gallon tipping

water bucket.

In addition, the resort offers a 7,000-plus-

square-foot arcade with ticket redemptions. “It

has all the latest video games and interactive

games for everyone in the family,” Bateman says.

Other amenities include an Elements spa

featuring Aveda products, a fitness center, a

children’s activity club, a gift shop, two family-

themed restaurants, a Starbucks, a Pizza Hut

fudge and pastries. Two nightly lobby story times

include fun tales and an animated show.

“It really provides an entire day of activities

[that stretch] into the evening,” Bateman says.

“And it’s reserved exclusively for our guests.”

Depending on the time of year and number of

guests, standard family suites are expected to

start around $189 per night. There are 10 suite

configurations — ranging from shared space to

small kids’ cabins within a room — and suites

sleep six to 10 people.

Great Wolf Lodge is taking requests for group

sales, with individual booking beginning by early

summer. For more information, check out www.

The Stacy family’s dedication to improving the communities in which they live — and work — is what sets them apart. They are dedicated to serving the community both within the walls of their showroom as well as throughout the local area. The third fl oor of their Grapevine store houses a 4,000 square foot community room that is available to local nonprofi t orga-nizations free of charge. And the Stacy family has contributed money as well as time to GRACE (Grapevine Relief and

Community Exchange), the Grapevine AMBUCS (American Business Club), The Battered Women’s Foundation, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and numerous local fes-tivals. This year, Ron Stacy and his wife Barbara will serve as co-chairs of GrapeFest, the largest wine festival in the southwest held each September in Grapevine. The Stacy family business has matured from the company’s early beginnings as a furniture warehouse to the two megastores they own and operate today in Grapevine and Allen. In addition to the high quality furnishings they are known for, Stacy Furniture has created a unique shopping environment, which includes restaurants and child-care services, specialty shops, and boutiques to complete the experience. In addi-tion to the Grapevine and Allen locations, Stacy Furniture has launched an interior design fi rm in downtown Fort Worth called Dorian’s Interior Design, named for founder Rick Stacy’s daughter and President of Stacy Family Enterprises, Inc. With more than 20 family members currently employed by the company, it is safe to say that the future of Stacy Furniture rests fi rmly in the hands of its makers.

It is summertime in Texas, and while it may be warm, nothing beats a cool dip in the lake. Swimming, sailing, and skiing all get you outside while keeping you cool. And Lake Grapevine offers unmatched water fun, all in the heart of North Texas. You don’t have to go far to find scenic vistas, fantastic fishing, and cool water sports.

One of the best ways to tour Lake Grapevine is on the back of a duck. No, not the fluffy yellow kind — a DUKW military amphibious transport vehicle dating from World War II. Duck Riders vehicles travel up to 55 miles per hour on land — and five miles per hour on water. That’s right, Duck Riders boats switch from land to water and back again. Standard tours run daily from the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center and Grapevine Mills mall (call for reservations), or you can take advantage of dinner tours, nightclub parties, field trips, movie packages, and fishing contests. Call (817) 432-3825 or visit www.duckriders.com for more information.

Immerse yourselfFor fun in the sun, nothing beats the cool waters of Lake Grapevine.

WaterCraFt rentals

Don’t own your own boat? Just for Fun

provides watercraft rentals from their

location at Lake Grapevine’s Silver Lake

Marina.

If you’re feeling the need for speed, look

into ski boats for waterskiing or yamaha

WaveRunners for jet skiing. If you prefer

a more leisurely tour around the water,

perhaps for fishing, rent a pontoon boat.

For the ultimate in lake entertainment,

consider renting the Lone Star Lady, a

houseboat with seating for up to 60 in the

main cabin. Combine that with catering

from the Gaylord Texan Resort and you

have a premier entertainment venue

— imagine cruising on the lake at night

while enjoying fine dining and unbeatable

views.

Want to explore the lake or try out water sports? You can launch your own boat from one of 10 launch sites around the lake. Call ahead to learn locations, fees, and availability (some ramps are closed when lake levels are too low) or visit www.gvpard.com. For ramps at Meadowmere Park, Lakeview Park, Vineyards Campground, and Oak Grove Park, call the Vineyards Campground at (817) 329-8993; for ramps at Murrell Park, call the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at (469) 645-9100. Boats can also be stored and launched from the three marinas at Lake Grapevine: Twin Coves, Scott’s Landing, and Silver Lake.

If waterside camping is more your style, the Vineyards provides camping facilities, including tent sites, RV hookups, and fully furnished cabins, along with a laundry room, a playground, sand volleyball courts, and group pavilions. Other Lake Grapevine parks include Rockledge, Meadowmere, Murrell, Lakeview, and Oak Grove; some offer campsites and all provide fantastic locations for family picnics, church get-togethers, and fishing expeditions.

Speaking of fishing, Lake Grapevine is a great spot to catch bass, crappie, and catfish. Take out your rod and reel on your own, or team up with a local fishing guide service such as Bug-A-Bass (817-304-0296) or Luck o’ the Irish (817-937-8755) to hit the best spots. (Hint: rocky shorelines attract largemouth bass.)

Summers may be hot in Texas, but a breeze is always blowing on the lake and the water always cools you off. Dive in today!

GoLF BY jill BeCker

At California’s renowned Pebble Beach, it’s hole #7. At Pinehurst in North Carolina, it’s hole #5. Every golf course has a signature hole, and the fabulous courses in Grapevine are no exception.

When asked about the signature hole at Grapevine Golf Course, a 27-hole facility along the shores of Lake Grapevine, Co-Head Golf Pro Sid McCleskey responded, “You mean the hole most people love to hate?” In his eyes, it’s actually “an entertaining little stretch” on the Pecan Course consisting of holes #4, #5, and #6.

Hole #4, a long, straight par-5, is the bane of many golfers for what is referred to as the Byron Nelson pecan. (When original course architect Joe Finger was laying out the course, he wanted to cut the tree down, but consulting pro Byron Nelson insisted they keep it in.) It’s just short and left of the green and serves as a monumental obstacle between you and the hole.

The 386-yard, par-4 fifth hole, a 90-degree dogleg, features a compressed landing zone for your tee shot. “You’ve got to hit it 200, 210 yards off the tee,” McCleskey says. “Hit it too short

Jill BeCker’S BEST DAyS ON THE LINKS HAVE ALWAyS BEEN ON A MINIATuRE GOLF COuRSE.

and trees will block your next shot; hit it too long and your ball goes into the creek.”

Number 6, a medium-range par-4, has a large green, but the approach shot makes it quite narrow. “And on your second shot, you’re hitting from a lower level to an elevated green,” McCleskey adds.

Nick Bednar, the General Manager at Bear Creek Golf Club, was able to narrow the signature hole designation down to two holes, one per each of the club’s two 18-hole tracks.

His pick from the East Course was hole #5, a 385-yard par-4 he describes as “a short but demanding dogleg left that travels downhill from tee to green.” The hole, he says, requires absolute precision on both the tee shot and approach in order to navigate around the towering oaks and pond that protect the green.

From the West Course, Bednar favors #7, a 390-yard par-4 that travels uphill the entire way and requires players to drive the ball to a very tight fairway protected by a large bunker. “The hole’s challenge and beauty has earned accolades for being one of the best golf holes in all of Texas,” Bednar brags.

Number 4 gets the nod as the signature hole at Cowboys Golf Club per Director of Operations Mark Aston. The nation’s fi rst NFL-themed course, Cowboys proudly heralds the home team, and you’ll fi nd the Cowboys’ bright blue star smack in the middle of the fairway on #4. “It makes a good target,” Aston notes. He adds: “Your short-iron approach must be accurate. This multilevel green, which features a crown in the middle and a false front on the right, will challenge even the best putters.” What also sways Aston is the view. “It’s hard to believe that views like this exist in the middle of the Metroplex,” he says.

Over at Texas Indoor Golf, you could almost say every hole is a signature hole, because there, that’s the whole point. The $8 million, 24,000-square-foot complex houses 16 simulators replicating more than 60 of the nation’s best and most popular courses. So you can play #6 at Torrey Pines in San Diego, #16 at Firestone in Akron, and #17 at St. Andrews across the pond in Scotland — all in the same day. So shine the ol’ clubs and get swinging.

MaIn STrEET BY miChelle reneau

Brick buildings, which arrived in Grapevine when the railroad did, were provided by Grapevine brick maker Jake Waymire. Most of these buildings still remain, and Main Street itself is listed in the National Register of Historic Places because of them.

When the city was incorporated in 1907, a town marshal was appointed. With the office, the marshal was authorized to spend $4.50 to buy handcuffs and construct an 8-by-10-by-8 jail. Called a calaboose (Spanish slang), it was originally placed on Barton Street. The structure is now located on the corner of Main and Franklin next to Willhoite’s; it’s even open so that visitors may take pictures inside.

The first hotel in Grapevine, the Wallis Hotel, was built in 1891 at the corner of Main Street and Hudgins (where the South Prairie Oyster Bar sits today). Never a financial success, it was closed in 1926 and demolished in the mid-1930s. Its detailed reproduction houses the Convention & Visitors Bureau at Liberty Park Plaza.

The Torian Cabin, which now stands in Liberty Park, was originally built in 1845 in the Lonesome Dove community. When moved in 1975, each log was coded and numbered so the cabin could be reconstructed verbatim at its present site on Main Street.

There are two windmills in the Historic District that once pumped water from wells to tanks. They stand as reminders of this vital service brought into Grapevine in the city’s early days.

The first record of electric service was in 1910 to furnish lighting for Main Street.

The Palace Theatre was built in 1940 for the price of $25,000. On opening night, movie-ticket prices were 10 cents for adults and 5 cents for children.

The Palace Theatre’s second life came in the form of the Grapevine Opry in 1975. Since then, entertainers such as Brenda Lee, LeAnn Rimes, and Willie Nelson have graced the stage.

Named for the rich crop that brought the railroad, the Cotton Belt line reached Grapevine in 1888, linking northeast to St. Louis and west to Fort Worth.

The turntable used to turn the Grapevine Vintage Railroad’s steam engine was originally purchased for $1 from the Santa Fe Railroad.

Main Street Trivia

The doors to the train depot that closed in 1972 were reopened again on January 31, 1994, 22 years to the date they were locked. The same agent who closed the doors, Edna Hemphill, was the one to reopen them.

Grapevine’s first public sculpture — a fountain and statue by Michael Cunningham — was dedicated in Liberty Park on Main Street. Named Walking to Texas, it pays tribute to the courage of the original families who settled the community in 1845.

Atop Grapevine’s City Hall stands the Night Watchman, a 7-foot, 7-inch bronze sculpture representative of the watchman the city hired to patrol Main Street up until the 1950s.

Bermuda Gold was once a bank where Bonnie and Clyde’s gang made a substantial withdrawal in the 1930s.

BandLeader of the

From the time he was a little boy, Rocky Gribble

knew music would play a major role in his life.

Music, in fact, is his role.

As owner of Yellow Rose Productions,

Gribble is the jack-of-all-trades man behind the

curtain and onstage at the various productions

performed during the Grapevine Opry at the

magnificent Palace Theatre. The Friday- and

Saturday-night shows cover all types of music,

including tributes to Elvis, Johnny Cash, Hank

Williams, Sr., Western swing, and bluegrass.

Not only does Gribble produce the shows, he’s

also the 10-person troupe’s band leader, lead

guitarist, banjo player, mandolin player, and

backup singer.

The origins of Gribble’s career in music lie

in both hereditary and auditory situations.

Growing up on a farm in West Texas, Gribble

learned from his dad — and a turntable — how

to play guitar . “My father had a whole stack of

Chet Atkins records, and he taught me some

chords, and I’d play along to the records,” Gribble

says. The rest is two decades of Grapevine Opry

history, as this November, Gribble celebrates

his 20th anniversary at the venue.

The Grapevine Opry is held in the Historic

Palace Theatre and the performance hall has

a big impact on the larger music community.

“The Grapevine Opry is like a stepping-stone for

[artists] to get somewhere else,” Gribble says

of the 1940s-built, 400-plus-seat facility. He

ought to know. In the late 1980s, Gribble was

the one who booked a then 6-year-old girl for

one of her first times on a stage. Today, LeAnn

Rimes sings to packed houses all over the

world. Current up-and-comers who Gribble

recommends checking out include Casey

Rivers, Matt Jenkins, Jaclyn North, and 15-

year-old crowd favorite Nichola Kouzes, who

has performed at the John F. Kennedy Center

for the Performing Arts.

or call (817) 481-8733.
