BobcatFans Magazine is NOT a Texas State University publication We just live in the same town and have a lot of mutual friends

About The CoverIf you ever have the chance to pour bottles of wine over three beautiful ribeye steaks we suggest using the cheap stuff What we thought we could accomplish with one bottle turned into more than we care to admit By the end the steaks were well marinated and found a home on the grill This is to date our largest issue and we have to say the most fun to make

I first arrived in San Marcos back in 1997 and would typically stop by Pepperrsquos on the Falls or Herbertrsquos for a bite to eat A few great restaurants have come and gone since I was a student at Texas State but many local favorites are still around like Palmers River Pub Grins and many others Now there is a growing class of young and talented chefs moving into town who are passionate about bringing new flavors to San Marcos

About five years ago I had a vision to bring a restaurant that offered big city style food for a small town price but with my own style and creativity When I was a kid I went all over Europe and was able to experience foods from a variety of cultures I wasnrsquot classically trained and didnrsquot have a huge desire to become a famous chef but I would sit in my kitchen every night and whip out about three or four new dishes such as our Patagonia rolls ravioli crisps and Indonesian corn frit-ters Then almost two years ago my dream became a reality when I opened the doors to Vodka Street It was my chance to combine cooking with owning and operating a bar

Since then I have discovered many other restaurants and trailers moving into town who share my vision of offering a new set of flavors for people to discover and enjoy San Marcos has always been a great place to grab a bite to eat but as the town grows so should our menus I hope that more delicious options continue to be cooked up around town to accompany all of our classic favorites

Q Is it true that I can lose my ability to receive

financial aid if I am convicted of a drug

related offense

A A person convicted of possession or delivery of a controlled substance is not eligible to receive federal financial aid including grants loans or work assistance for a period of at least a year Multiple convictions can result in indefinite ineligibility to receive federal financial assistance

A student may be able to resume eligibility to receive federal financial aid if they complete a rehabilitation program and abide by the guidelines of the Higher Education Act

This is just one of many reasons why it is important to dig in and take the necessary steps to defend yourself


TIDBITS

Your AudienceWho are you entertaining Take into consideration if the person or persons are experienced or inexperienced with wines

Serving With Food If so resort to the number one rule Reds with red meat and Whites with white meat ie chicken and fish

The Occasion Take into account what you are wine shopping for Examples would be birthday anniversary gift or just an evening relaxing with friends

The Seasons There is nothing like a chilled wine on a hot summerrsquos day and a glass of Port on a cold evening However I would not switch the two around

The reason for this is that there are many varieties of wines Your Reds Whites and Blushes are available dry semi-dry or sweet

What to consider when shopping for wine

First glass over plastic Glass really does make the wine taste better

A basic wine glass is good for Reds Whites and Blush Be sure to hold the glass by the stem or by the bottom of the glass

A stemless wine glass is for Reds only Whites are served chilled and your bodyrsquos temperature could heat the glass which is not ideal for a white wine

A wider rim glass is good for reds These glasses allow more oxidation to take place which lets the wine ldquobreatherdquo

What is the best stemware to use How to store Wine

Reds room temperature

Whites and Blushes refrigerate and serve chilled

Dinner Party Hints Pair a mildly sweet wine with cheese and crack-ers a semi-dry wine with salads Reds with red meat and Whites with white meat and finish with a dessert wine

Sharing a bottle of wine with the Bondyrsquos is a an experience in fermented grape appreciation

Swirling the wine in a crystal goblet a better material than glass for tasting wine the Bondyrsquos spend time observing every facet of the wine Never in a rush they lovingly stick their nose deep into their glass inhaling deeply to let their sense of smell tell them the story of that particular vintage There is no rush this is full blown wine foreplay

Their love affair with wine has gone so far they decided to tie the knot with itfor at least a year As a couple they created the wine blog BJWine365com For one full year Brian and Jane Bondy will sample a different bottle every night and blog about their adventures Combining the wine with a story of how they came to drink that certain bottle they take their readers on an adven-ture while giving their opinion on the winersquos nose body and finish

Brian amp Jane take turns on who starts the blog and who finishes it The blog and wine serves as a tool for spending time together something the Bondyrsquos come to-gether and share everyday not only with themselves but anyone in cyber space who wants to share in their journey These wine lovers donrsquot believe a high priced bottle of wine makes it good There are many bottles of excellent wine in the $10-$15 range Most bottles in the blog are $25 or less

The Perfect PairingBrian amp Jane share more than wine They were born on the same day of the same year and are both the fifth child They both at-tended SFA and like a great bottle of wine they are maturing well together

ldquoWersquore not experts

we are just having

fun enjoying

Austin and Mary Van Zant are the creators of Redbud Roast-ers a coffee business that roasts their own beans from dif-ferent parts of the world Born in San Marcos Redbud Roast-ers started as a man searching for a cheaper coffee alternative quality intact Van Zant started with the Farmers Market in San Marcos to test his new coffee on the locals Four years and four markets later he is cranking out more coffee than ever before The roaster has a capacity to roast six pounds of coffee every 15 minutes Start-ing with green coffee beans

the roaster continuously turns the beans in a circular motion The beans begin to turn brown as they roast and emit different oils as the heat increases For Redbud Roasters a typical batch takes anywhere from 13 to 16 minutes depending on the type of roast (light to dark) As the beans turn they begin to smell like coffee and send a strong aroma throughout the room Coffee shops such as The Coffee Pot Jo on the Go and Tantra have carried Redbud Roasters products occasionally serving their customers with a great local blend of caffeine

INSIDE LOOK


When Marta Carrillo opened the small Lolitarsquos Cafeacute taco stand on January 7th 2005 she had no idea that it would become as massively popular as it is today All she knew was that she was ready to be her own boss and loved making people happy with her delicious tacos Marta worked in the food industry a long time before starting her own restaurant and it has paid off Lolitarsquos serves between 300-400 tacos on an average day they can do well over that number on game days That number is more impressive when you learn that they pump out all those tacos in about 200 sq feet Factor in all homemade salsas and you can begin to understand why this little cafeacute has a line down the road every morning Marta is very hands-on with her busi-ness working 7 days a week and arriving around 5 am most mornings Be sure to check out this taco joint yourself on Aquarena Springs Dr or grab a taco in the quad on campus

Therersquos a lot to see do and in this case eat in

mass quantities in a college town full of young

people with big appetites I set out to experi-

ence some of the most brutal eating challenges

San Marcos has to offer and I learned two

things San Marcos has some really delicious

food out there and Irsquom really really bad at eating challenges

Big lsquoEFFINrsquo 32 inch Pizza

Big Buckinrsquo 5-Pound Burger

Seven Pound Breakfast Burrito


Bikinirsquos - Big Buckinrsquo BurgerNow I know most of you know Bikinirsquos for lovely ladies and tasty wings but you might not know it for the monstrous mountain of meat that is the Big Buckinrsquo Burger This bad boy weighs in at 5 pounds and comes topped with all the stan-dard burger toppings This leviathan of beef comes inside a fluffy baked bun and an enormous side of Bikinirsquos homemade seasoned chips The first challenge that arose as I attempted to eat this beast was fitting it in my mouth Eventually I cut it into pie slices and I was on my way just not for very long I got maybe a third of the way through and couldnrsquot bear another bite To all those more apt to the task upon comple-tion of the burger you will receive a T-shirt and the respect of all those that have bought the big buckinrsquo beast

Gilrsquos Broiler - The 7 Pound Breakfast BurritoIf you ever wake up in the morning and find yourself hungry for over 7 pounds of breakfast burrito then head over to Gilrsquos they have just what yoursquore craving This monster of a challenge may be daunting but it is also delicious If you order this behemoth you will be presented with a serving tray as a plate loaded up with a full pound of bacon 12 whole eggs 5 pounds of potatoes all covered with gooey melted cheese and wrapped in buttered flour tortillas As I was eating it I felt ok until I tried to eat one of the tortillas The bread expanded quickly in my stomach and coupled with the potatoes I was sweating after only a bit less than 2 pounds If you can climb this mountain of egg and potato dudes donrsquot have to pay and will go down in Gilrsquos history However if yoursquore a girl you not only get it free you eat at Gilrsquos free for life

Gumbyrsquos- The BFP 32 in PizzaWho doesnrsquot like pizza the more the better right Well Gumbyrsquos has taken that concept and run with it creating one of the most devious and difficult eating challenges in town The BFP (Big ldquoEffinrdquo Pizza) challenge consists of a 32 in pizza coated in 4 meat toppings 4 veggie toppings and an unholy amount of cheese I opted for chicken ham bacon and pep-peroni for my meats and bell peppers jalapentildeos spinach and pineapple for my veggies After going through the pizza oven twice on a custom made pizza tray I was served the most impressive looking pizza of my young life Each slice ran from my elbow to my fingertips and the whole thing came in at over 10 pounds Seeing as it was a two-person challenge my photographer hopped in to give me a hand As we started to eat one thing in particular stood out to me this was one of the best pizzas I had ever eaten The crust was deliciously thin just the right amount of grease and the toppings went together perfectly With this realization in mind I grit my teeth and set out to conquer the massive plain of pizza that lay be-fore me I failed I failed big time I ate a little over 2 slices my photographer barely finished one Although we were soundly beaten and shamed there may be a duo out there ready to slice Gumby up The pizza or ldquoentry feerdquo is $50 total but if you can beat it you win $50 each and get your photos up in the hall of victors

A cook is only as sharp as his knives amp a messy station is a messy mind

- Ryan Hernandez Executive Chef Cool Mint Cafe

You walk into a restaurant and sit down a server writes down your order and then like magic they come walking out with trays full of delicious food Itrsquos rare to see or speak with the mystery person behind the kitchen doors preparing your food Television has done a great job of skewing our idea of what a good chef really is Although they do exist (thanks Ramsey) most chefs out there are not Hitler in an apron with a tall white hat Chefs are for the most part not in search of fame or fortune they love creat-ing tasting and cooking because it makes people smile Chefs are more than just cooks they are historians artists inventors and mechanics San Marcos offers a full menu of amazing chefs with many diverse backgrounds We decided to go behind the scenes and discover what a chef truly is and how they are made

SMTX CHEFS

A Good chef should always find the best ingredients and preparation methods

Ryan Hernandez Executive Chef at Cool Mint CafeacuteRyan cooks to the rhythm of a saying he learned ldquoMise en placerdquo which means everything in its place Preparation and organization are essential to his style of cooking But donrsquot begin to think that Ryanrsquos mottos keep him from enjoying what he does He loves to whip up a good sandwich and claims he could eat a taco with any meal

The Ryan-damentals Basic Ingredients While growing up in El Paso Ryan was first inspired to cook by his dad who as a firefighter knew a little about how to manage a flame After graduating from UTEP with a degree in marketing Ryan decided to take a gamble in Las Vegas and attend culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu

Ryan spent some time in a Hawaiian-fusion restaurant on the strip in Vegas but his path to chef-hood really took off when he traveled to London England for a few months to complete an internship at The Fat Duck a restaurant that was ranked 2 in the world at the time ldquoThatrsquos really where I get a lot of my kitchen philosophies from is there There was no yelling everyone was extremely profes-sional encouraging and willing to help It was an environment that fostered learning and personal and professional growthrdquo says Ryan

After making his way back to The States Ryan followed his heart instead of his nose to College Station for a girl but this didnrsquot stop his education During that time he learned a lot about American and Texas

regional cuisines under Peter Madden

The more you get to know Ryan the more you see his personality come across in his cooking Ryan is a master of the funda-mentals preferring to do things simple but well He says ldquoI tend to think about what the ingredients are and how they can speak for themselves rather than me trying to do something with themrdquo It all comes down to his desire to pick the best ingredients and let them shine through as opposed to his technique

In The SauceTwo Tbs Extreme Cleanliness ldquoThat means that the chef takes pride in the customer Too many people try to take short cutsrdquo ndash Ryan

Three Cups of No Compromise ldquoA Good chef should always try to find the best ingredients and preparation methodsrdquo - Ryan

Two Boxes of Humility ldquoTo think that you know it all is just insane I could learn and study forever and probably just be scratching the surfacerdquo ndash Ryan

Bobcat Burger Surprisingly not named after the Texas State mascot but rather from the Bobcat Bite a famous hamburger restaurant in Santa Fey NM All natural local beef cov-ered in jack cheese and hatch green chilies with a roasted garlic and lemon aioli sauce Accompanied by spring greens tossed in a lemon-garlic vinaigrette topped with green olives red onions and mint

Lettuce Wrap All natural local beef tossed with a spicy plum sauce served with a ginger carrot red cabbage slaw tossed in sesame soy vinaigrette

Portobello and Spinach Quesadilla White cheddar queso fresco portobello mushrooms and baby spinach Served with a side salad tossed in a sundried to-mato vinaigrette a little bit of tomatillo pico de gallo and some sun dried tomato pico along with a cilantro lime sour cream

Chocolate Comfort A three layer gluten-free chocolate cake Chocolate truffle cake on the bottom topped with a milk chocolate mousse topped with a milk chocolate gnash and accompanied by a mixed berry collie underneath


Food has to taste as good as it looks if yoursquore going

to go crazy on presentation

then your flavors have to

be there too

Bradley Bowlin Executive Chef at Embassy Suites For Bradley administering a major kitchen operation is all about per-sonally getting to know the cooks that make it happen He is not a one man show and even admits that he spends a lot more time doing paperwork than cooking these days Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each cook and assigning them the tasks that best suit them keep his kitchen running smoothly

A Bowl of BowlinFoodscape Architecture

While growing up in Houston Bradley would grill outside with his dad and took tips from mom in the kitchen who Bradley claims are both excellent cooks to this day It wasnrsquot until he was twenty two that he would put some of those skills into action

It was during a semester at Blinn Com-munity College that Bradleyrsquos life took a new direction ldquoI was studying golf course architecture and landscape design I was mowing greens in the morning before school and then going to class I would cook at an Italian family restaurant during the night When the owner asked me to be kitchen manager thatrsquos when my career took offrdquo says Bradley

Bradley received most of his training through the school of hard knocks He tried culinary school but he was too busy with his on-the-job training in the kitchen ldquoI have been fortunate enough to work under some really good chefs when I was younger I trained in French German and Italian cuisine mainly the training was done with Stouffer Renaissance and Marriot hotelsrdquo says Bradley He credits Mark Miller a chef at the Coyote Cafeacute in Santa Fe NM for helping him develop his style a kind of

southwest and Italian fusion

September recently marked his fourth year at Embassy Suites here in San Marcos He mentioned that 20 out of his 26 years of experience have all been in hotels Bradley explains that the hotel kitchen offers its own set of unique challenges His team prepares breakfast every morning for guests followed by a normal lunch rotation at their Rocky River Grille but the true challenge comes from cooking for major banquets in their 80000 square feet of banquet space

Bradleyrsquos kitchen is not at all like ldquoHellrsquos Kitchenrdquo he says his leadership is more laid back but only because his cooks know what he expects in levels of quality and presentation He must be doing something right because seven of his cooks have stuck around since day one at Embassy Suites

In The SauceTwo Cloves of Keep Improving ldquoYou have to really care about the guest and you have to be your own critic You canrsquot take criticism personally it has to be constructive and you have to keep on improvingrdquo - Bradley

Everyone tells you oh thatrsquos really hard

you donrsquot want to do

that or girls donrsquot do that But Irsquom good at it thatrsquos

what I like to do

Megan Turbeville

Dinner Executive Chef at Root Cellar Cafeacute Megan says her style is based on taking simple ingredients and making them fancy ldquoBecause anyone can make truffles and lobster taste good that is not hard or a challenge in any way But to make something simple like an avocado taste good or something more tricky to do thatrsquos what I likerdquo says Megan She loves looking at pictures of food and will play with a plate of food until it looks just right

Turbeville Helper Praise topped with Ambition

Growing up in a military family Megan experi-enced many cultures around the world including Germany China and California Her family settled down in Copperas Cove Texas where she grew up and began cooking for her family ldquoIt wasnrsquot anything fancy for a 12 year old it was like Ham-burger Helper and learning how to time the sides with biscuits I wasnrsquot making anything from scratch but I was learning how to make a meal for people I think thatrsquos probably what made me want to be a chef growing up the praise I guessrdquo

Megan quickly fell in love with cooking after discovering a large pile of her motherrsquos old cook books It was an old Asian cook book which Megan described as ldquoSo ghettordquo that gave her the recipe for first meal she made from scratch

She would watch the Food Network dig through cook books at the bookstore and cook for people as often as she could

Going off to college at Texas State she almost abandoned her ambition for cooking While pursuing a degree in mass communications and working as a car hop at Sonic she decided that journalism was not for her ldquoThree semesters before I graduated I was sitting in Hastings The Culinary Institute of America comes out with these big text books like for a biology class or something and Irsquom sitting there and looking at it and like I get that joy that happiness that bubbles inside of youhellipthatrsquos when I knewrdquo

Megan then went on to apply for her first kitchen job at Root Cellar Cafeacute with a lot of passion but little experience It was her love and passion for what she does that brought her from simply

making salads to becoming the Executive Chef in charge of dinner service That was nearly seven years ago Since then Megan has graduated from the Texas Culinary Academy but insists that to be a great chef culinary school is not a requirement Megan is also grateful for the mentoring she has received from fellow Executive Chef Brian Oden

In The Sauce One Tbs of Business Mindset You have to understand how much ingredients cost and what you can affordrdquo ndash Megan

8oz Can of Leadership ldquoI donrsquot like those chefs that yell at people but you canrsquot be afraid to tell people what needs to be donerdquo ndash Megan

Mark Jacobsen The Big Kahuna TrailerldquoWhen growing up didnrsquot your mother tell you to not play with your food Well I didnrsquot listenrdquo says Mark Marveling at the beautifully mani-cured Bobcat watermelon makes us glad he didnrsquot Mark has a long list of accolades including catering for celebrities like Willie Nelson but thatrsquos not what itrsquos about for him He loves getting to know people and making them happy with delicious food

ldquoMarkrdquo-et PriceNever too proud to wash dishes

Born in Tokyo Japan and raised in Hawaii Mark was thrown into a kitchen at a very early age He says ldquoWhen I was nine years old my mother married a chef from Copenhagen Denmark who was in charge of around 38 restaurants I didnrsquot have a choice He got a free dishwasher along with the programrdquo

While Mark grew up in Hawaii his family owned five restaurants in Maui where he learned to play with his food It was a love-hate relationship with cooking for a while which led him to pursue other career options but eventually he came back to his first love He attended Kalu Kelani Cu-linary School in Hawaii but that was only continuing education for Mark

When Hawaiirsquos economy slid he made a move to Colorado where he experienced a complete change of scenery He worked at a very popular destination restaurant outside of Denver world famous for cooking game such as ostrich buffalo venison and rattle snake Recipes were based on food from the 1800rsquos While grilling up fresh ostrich Mark got a special

opportunity to cook for Bill Clinton Mikhail Gorbachev and many other world lead-ers at the World Summit Celebrity chefs such as Julia Childs and the James Beard Foundation made their way through the restaurant as well

When Mark came to Texas he became the personal chef for the owner of Clear Channel however it did not always satisfy him ldquoIt was good for the first couple years I would rather cook for everyday peoplerdquo he says ldquoSomeone that goes to work all week long and saves up their money to eat somewhere with quality food To see people satisfied is gratifying to merdquo

In The Sauce

One Pinch Servant ldquoIn Hawaii the term is lsquoHigh Maka Makarsquo it means that yoursquore too good to do something When you own your own business you have to lead by examplerdquo - Mark

Three Cups of Patience ldquoTo me the reward is when a customer comes up to you and tells you how much they enjoyed something or say they are going to tell their friends about yourdquo - Mark

Jon A La Carte Cajun Against The Machine

Born in Shreveport LA Jon grew up right where 100 acres of land came face to face with a river Get-ting to enjoy fresh fish vegetables and beef right off the land was a great incentive for becoming a chef

Jon began cooking with his brother when he was around 10 but had plans to become an architect He says ldquoI grew up around a lot of architecture and thatrsquos what I was originally going to do but then I changed my degree and went

into the culinary field I decided I wanted to do something that was going to make me a little more happy instead of sitting behind a desk all the timerdquo

After Jon traded in the graph paper for the wax paper he made his way to Le Cordon Bleu which happens to be right up I-35 Jon explained that culinary school is comprised of a year of actual classroom learning with an additional six months of working in a restaurant outside of the school

Jon is somewhat of a rebel when it comes to cooking if the bandana and sometimes flashy shades

doesnrsquot give that away There was never a chef that he modeled his style after His only true influence has come from believe it or not the internet ldquoI donrsquot really like to follow the rules what people say is right or wrong especially with food Who says that you canrsquot put crawfish in a cheesecake and make it work

As the owner of the Cajun Cruiser trailer (which will temporally be moving to Fuschakrsquos before relocating to a different location in town) Jon is finally getting a chance to ldquocolor outside of the linesrdquo as he describes it He gets to play by his own rules and in

doing so is providing San Marcos with a special twist on many Cajun and Texas flavors

In The Sauce One Sack of Devotion ldquo110 is the only way to describe it If yoursquore not like that all the time then itrsquos going to show in your food your presentation and how you are with your customersrdquo ndash Jon

Three Cups of Experience ldquoSchool can only get you so far it takes a lot of learningrdquo ndash Jon

If it doesnrsquot look appealing then people arenrsquot going to want it you can pull some of the strangest ingredients together and if it looks sexy then people are going to want to eat it

Shaved Ribeye Poboy Mixed Bell peppers and onions provolone cheese shredded lettuce roma tomatoes and remoulade all piled high on toasted bread Served with Cajun fries

Fried Crawfish Cheesecake Bell Peppers onions celery cream cheese and other

cheeses with hot sauce and a little sugar and vanilla all wrapped up in an egg roll wrap and fried to a golden crisp

Chicken amp Andouille Gumbo Delicious Cajun mix of bell peppers onions celery okra and tomatoes all topped with white rice

Jon White Cajun Cruiser TrailerJon believes that food should look good or ldquosexyrdquo as he refers to it even before someone takes their first bite He does what he wants cooks what he wants and moves his trailer where he wants Not because he desires wealth although he wouldnrsquot mind it but simply because he loves cooking without restrictions and impressing customers with no-holds-barred cuisine

How did you make the transi-tion from Animal Sciences to Food In my final year at Texas AampM I went on a study abroad program in order to complete my fine arts credits of which I had none since my college career was dedicated to science In Italy I realized my love for food wine and family was greater than that of performing surgeries on animals It was at that point I realized I was going to switch from saving them to cooking themhellip

What inspires you when you are cooking The season and weather typically point me in the direction of what I am going to cook For example the first cold rainy day of the year you can come to my house for spaghetti and meatballs I love making a fresh tomato sauce rolling balls of beef veal and pork and boiling some beautiful pasta in order to enjoy the ar-rival of cool wet weather Spring and summer push me towards lighter dishes incorporating the grill Grilled fish that I hopefully caught and whatever we picked up from the farmers market is a typical summer dinner for my wife and I

What is your one favorite food itemdish on earth Steak I love grilling ribeyes in the backyard but I crave redfish on the half shell a fresh caught redfish fillet skin and scales in tact covered in lemons and butter salt and pepper over a hot grill Now that is tough to beat

When you have a family gath-ering is it a given that you are cooking My mother is a fantastic cook She taught her four boys me being the youngest all how to cook I always contribute but my mom is not one to give up the reigns of her kitchen She loves feeding people as much as I do so we team up and

do it together

What is your guilty pleasure food Chicken wings I want 20 chicken wings a basket of French fries and some really good and chunky bleu cheese dress-inghellipand lots of beer

When you were growing up is this what you thought you would be doing No from the time I was about 15 I worked in vet clinics and did everything I could do to go to the best college with the best vet school I could attend hence my degree from Texas AampM

What was the Top Chef experi-ence like for you Would you do it over What would you change Top Chef was a great experience I met some cool people saw what reality TV was like from the other side and learned that competitive cooking as I had thought in the past is not for me You arenrsquot going to see me on Top Chef Redemption no desire to go through that again What would I change

other than winning probably the destination While I love Texas it sure would have been cool to do Top Chef in a city like Seattle Portland or even Philadelphia

Besides your own what is your favorite restaurant to eat at Currently my wife and I are loving Lenoir Todd and Jessica are amazing people the atmosphere is cozy and the food is great

What is the most underrated food item that you can think of Dry Sherry I use it when I roast mush-rooms I put it in my French onion soup and I use it to open mussels You can find a bottle of dry Sherry in every one of my kitchens

How did you create the worldrsquos greatest hash dish (with chili) I have always loved breakfast Eggs on top of potatoes sausage bacon and cheese just made sense I think subconsciously it came from growing up with older brothers talking about the Kettlersquos ldquoscattered smothered and coveredrdquo hash browns

Currenrsquos Holiday Roasted Brussels Sprouts5 lbs Brussels sprouts 1 spring onion14 cup olive oil1 Tbsp kosher salt1 tsp ground black pepper1 Meyer lemon Preheat your oven to 400deg with a sheet tray inside Cut the bottom off of each Brussels sprout and split lengthwise Julienne the bulb of the spring onion and slice the green top In a large bowl toss the onion (bulb and top) sprouts olive oil salt and pepper Once oven is to temperature carefully remove sheet tray and dump sprouts onto the hot pan Roast until slightly charred and tender remove from oven and squeeze lemon over the sprouts Stir and taste for salt while still hot season more if necessary

It turns

out that the

Central Texas Wine

Trails are actually

the second most

popular

wine destination

in America


Story By Jordan Regas Photos By Eric Morales

FINDINg OUR WAY THROUgH TExAS WINE COUNTRYThe bus with its burgundy ldquoDiscover Texas Wine Toursrdquo logo stretched across the side comes to a smooth halt par-allel to Hopkins as our tour guides step out to greet us After the traditional ldquoBeforerdquo photo we pile into the luxu-rious cruiser Directly in front of everyone is a sharp LCD screen that introduces us to the tour provides tips on wine tasting and previews the wineries Below our sleek and comfortable seats is a large cooler full of ice and water bottles

The first bottle is popped a toast is made and our adven-ture begins We are a group of explorers ready to discover a new land determined to make it to five wineries spread throughout Central Texas in one day Before anyone real-izes it we are twisting and turning down old Texas back-roads and making our way deep into the infinite roll-ing beauty of the Texas Hill Country There is only one thing left to do discover Texas wine


iNDiNg OuR WAyWhen BobcatFans made the decision

to write an article on all of the Hill Country wineries sitting in our backyard we had no clue what we were getting ourselves into

We could have traveled the road alone but there is no shame in asking for a little help from someone who knows the way can speak the language and for all practical matters can get you home safely

It seems appropriate to first introduce our guides who led us through the vast dominion of Hill Country wine Noel and Kathie MacDonald owners of Discover Texas Wine Tours are not your typical wine tour guides They turned one of their biggest passions into their business concept to help others discover their love of Texas Hill Country wine At Discover Texas Wine Tours they focus more on an authentic wine tasting experience emphasizing that ldquoOur specialty is smaller non-touristy more remotely located wineriesrdquo

THEy TOuT THREE ROuTES The Drippinrsquo Wine Trail The Fredericksburg Trail and The Marble Falls Trail Each wine trail has it own unique feel with varying vineyards ranging from quaint and humble to tourist attractions and more commercial Unlike those old ldquoChoose Your Own Destinyrdquo novels you might have read as a kid when it comes to the Texas wine country there is really no such thing as the wrong path

THE DRivE Noel gives us a short history of Texas wine before taking a sharp turn leading down to the Pedernales River It turns out that the Central Texas Wine Trails are actually the second most popular wine destination in America coming in second only to the Napa Valley amp Sonoma region of California As it turns out though California got a big head start on Texas because they were given permission to continue wine making during prohibition Another interesting fact we learned is that France has the High Plains area of Lubbock to thank for shipping them vines when an epidemic almost put an end to French wine for good

The young vinewards at Hilmy Winery

Discover Texas Wine ToursDiscover Texas Wine Tours provides a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for those who want to sample and become familiar with the award-winning vintages being produced in our Fredericksburg Dripping Springs and Wimberley Texas wineries The Central Texas Wine Trails have earned the distinction of being the most visited and award winning wineries in the nation mdash second only to those located in Napa Valley and Sonoma

Taking a winery tour is a fun and enjoyable way to spend time with that special person or group of friends without having to worry about ldquothe detailsrdquo In addition the Central Texas corridor has begun to offer an expanded horizon of select breweries and distillery tasting tours as well

For those who need only safe and comfortable transportation to and from events of all kinds we offer shuttle services at an hourly rate with advance reservations Plan a fun evening out with friends neighbors or family where the cost is shared and the driving is left to us Sit back relax and enjoy the ride with the adult beverages of your choice wwwdiscovertexaswinecom

at Hilmy Winery

Tanks full of fermenting grapes

The two Mercedes Sprinters can accommodate 10 guests each

WESTCAvE CELLARSOur first destination Westcave Cellars in Round Mountain TX Margaret Fetty greets us in the tasting room and we all assemble around the bar Margaret specifically chooses a wine for each person based on their particular taste preferences As we taste we come across their best selling wine the White Merlot She explains that the color of the wine comes from the skin of the grape and that the bitter taste that hits the palate in red wine is from the tannins produced from the stems seeds and skins of the grapes As she held up a 2010 White Merlot and compared it to a darker 2011 White Merlot Margaret explained the effect that last yearrsquos draught had on their grapes ldquoThe berries were much much smaller and if you remember what I said you get the color of a red wine from the skins and with the berries being smaller the pulp of the grape had more surface contact and because of more pulp contact with the skin it made everything a lot darker in color While we only had 40 less grapes meaning ie prices are going to be higher the 2011 vintage is going to be amazing thanks to the draught conditions of 2011rdquo says Margaret Essentially 2011 was a good year for Texas wine

Margaretrsquos husband Allan took us out to the crush pad where the whole process begins The grapes along with the dirt worms and everything else that comes with them are first tossed into the crusherde-steamer machine The next step is the pressing but from here the process is different for red and white grapes ldquoWith white grapes since yoursquore going to press them right away you really


mash them hard With the red grapes you ferment them with the skins and seeds and everything goes into the tank together and you just want to barely break the skins on those [Then] what happens is the yeast will get inside those cracks and each little berry will become its own fermentation chamber so to speakhellipand then you press it after itrsquos been fermented Fermentation simply put is yeast converting sugar into alcoholrdquo says Allan The fermentation takes place for several months inside of stainless steel containers but after the red grapes are finally pressed the juice is poured into oak barrels and gets aged for a period of time while the white wine goes through a clarification process Allan explained that not all wineries use the French Oak barrels due to cost but itrsquos that process that gives a wine its earthy smoky flavor

Before leaving Allan shared a little about Texas grapes and how different soil around the state produces specialized grapes He says ldquoOur grapes because they are in the Hill Country with limestone underneath our soil about three feet below have these mineral characteristics that are more traditional like Bordeaux France The issue with all grapes in central Texas is that we just donrsquot get the yield per acre that they get in Lubbock or that they get in Californiardquo Allan went on to explain how the soil in Lubbock or the High Plains as they call it in the industry is highly similar to the wine produced out in Napa Valley having more of an early reacting ldquofruit forwardrdquo taste Allan poured us all a glass straight from the stainless steel container that would not be ready until sometime in 2014 the future tasted pretty good

Bell SpringSIt was past noon we all felt deep into the wine tour but it had only just begun The next stop was Bell Springs Winery in Dripping Springs TX Bell Springs is owned by Nate Pruitt and his wife If you could only choose one person to talk to about the future of wine in Texas Nate might just be your guy At Bell Springs they currently do not grow any of their grapes (they are planning on growing in the future) and will even purchase grapes outside of Texas if he believes it will make a better tasting wine But as a Central Texas wine maker or vintner his wines are still completely his own Nate explains ldquoThe grape is essentially nothing more than that when you get it Then it goes through the process crushing steaming pressing fermentation and then it becomes wine So no matter where you get the fruit from the process of making wine is still the same the difference is what you do with it There is one thing to remember in wine making which is that you are never going to make a good wine out of a crappy grapehellipyou can never make a mediocre grape into a great wine itrsquos not possiblerdquo As we smelled and sipped down fresh samples of Natersquos wine he went on to explain how recently Texas wine has begun making a name for itself He says ldquoThere are some fantastic Texas wines I probably wouldnrsquot have said that about seven years ago when I first moved here There were some good wines then but in the last five years everywhere you go around here they have something goodrdquo

One of the ladies in our group noticed a few particles in the bottom of her glass and Nate

took the opportunity to explain the filtration system He said that out in Europe they donrsquot actually filter their wines so then itrsquos perfectly common to see sediment at the bottom of the glass In America we are accustomed to believe that if we see something in the bottom then there must be something wrong with the wine but really this is not true Nate says ldquoWe filter most of our wines When I say filter I mean literally go through a filtration process where you are passing a wine through filters that take all the small stuff out We donrsquot filter down to a sterile filterhellipbecause every time you filter it does actually take some of the taste out of the winerdquo He added in that wine makers out in California have access to ridiculously expensive filtration systems and bottling services while it tends to be a more hands on process for Nate and his crew

Nate taught us a lot including building our wine vocabulary with words like tartaric acid grape varietal and bricks content we all felt like an amateur Sommelier Nate handed us all a souvenir wine glass and it was off to Hye TX

ldquoYou can never make a mediocre grape into a great wine itrsquos not possiblerdquo

People will say lsquoWell this

doesnrsquot taste like Californiarsquo well

itrsquos not from Californiardquo

says Bill

William Chris vineyards Our next stop is named after Bill Blackmon and Chris Brundrett The tasting room is housed in the historic Deike brothers home built in 1905 Much of the frame is still in its original condition There were so many Deike brothers that they almost managed to man a whole state championship baseball team the only non-brother on that yearrsquos team was a kid by the name of Lyndon Baines Johnson Both owners happen to be major fans of Texas history which along with the beautiful Oak trees is what drew them to the property

Bill and Chris didnrsquot start making wine until 2008 but Bill is a long time veteran of grape growing Bill says ldquoWersquove been growing grapes since rsquo83 Irsquom from Lubbock and in Lubbock we planted 13 acres there in rsquo83 In rsquo86 we planted the Hunter Vineyard which is south of Lubbock and we still farm that vineyardhellipWe planted a

vineyard here in lsquo96 out at Willow City which is north of FredericksburgThen in 2008 we started making wine We had about 400 cases then and now we are producing 5000 cases and for 2012 we plan to have over 5000 casesrdquo Bill is a major proponent of Texas grown fruit and Texas grape growers producing 60 of his own grapes and purchasing the remainder from close friends in the industry

Everyone is in pretty high spirits as we progress through the William Chris tasting We are trying to maintain professionalism as much as possible but letrsquos face it after three tastings and popping a few bottles in-between you are starting to feel pretty good Questions about a grapersquos characteristics quickly begin to fade into questions about Billrsquos characteristics and abandoned hobbies While sipping down a wine titled Emotion someone mentions (we will leave his identity a secret for his safety) that his wife does not need to drink any of this everyone bursts out laughing One thing you quickly learn on a wine tour is that they are as much fun as they are informational if not slightly skewed towards fun

Bill either really liked us or had pity on us but either way he let us taste a special wine from their Hye Society Wine Club and then took us back to the fermenting room for a special tasting Before we left Bill mentioned that his secret comes from trusting his grapes and not tampering with his wines ldquoItrsquos the grapes itrsquos just whatrsquos grown It is what it is Sometimes itrsquos a little lighter than what you think it should behellipPeople will say lsquoWell this doesnrsquot taste like Californiarsquo well itrsquos not from Californiardquo says Bill

Four Point O We arrive in Fredericksburg TX Someone had suggested we listen to Michael Jackson (we had reached that point) It just so happened that Noel had a copy of his number one hits DVD that we rocked out on the LCD monitors Suddenly we are surrounded by wineries One after another we breeze by the beautiful vineyards The next stop is Four Point O Winery

At this point everyone is a bit hungry and needs a short break from tastings We order a massive meat and cheese platter full of an assortment of meats grapes and many varieties of cheese It hits the spot

Four Point O is a collaboration of three wineries McPherson Cellars out of Lubbock

Brennan Vineyards out of Comanche and Lost Oak Vineyards out of Burleson Jayne who managed the tasting room explains that the name is Four Point O as opposed to Three Point O because their fourth label will be under the wineryrsquos name itself Having recently opened in April the winery is beautiful and the perfect location for a few great pictures

At this point we are all passed asking informative questions and just begin to enjoy the experience Jayne is very hospitable and plays right along with the group we have somehow gotten into a playful argument over the requirements for being a native Texan Some people are ready to call it a day but we decide that a quick stop at Hilmy Cellars the new kid on the block will be worth the trip

There are two levels for their Wine Club ndash Deans

list 3 bottles $35-$55 range with discounts and complimentary

tastings amp

Honor Society 6 bottle $70-$110 range or 12 bottles with a $140-

$220 range with many added benefits

Hilmy Cellars Our fifth and final winery Everyone is getting a little tired and some of the group has already dropped out of the race Noel explains that most groups will cap a tour at four wineries because after the fourth tasting it becomes difficult to capture the unique tastes of the wines Only half of us stay in the race for one last tasting

Hilmy is a brand new wine cellar in Fredericksburg parts of it are still under construction Vinnie who stands behind the tasting bar explains how the operation is so fresh that he could be operating the tasting room one day and then be out on a tractor the next The owner and wine maker Eric Hilmy greets us and graciously pours everyone a generous glass of wine before guiding a tour of the cellar Eric points out that much of his equipment is sitting outside they have to make due until the construction is finished He smiles and lets out an acute laugh as he points out some more equipment that sits in open view Eric is not ashamed in the least he is looking towards the future and ready for all off the delicious wine thatrsquos yet to come soon It is all about the wine it is all about doing whatever it takes to produce great tasting Central Texas wine

The Hilmy vines are low to the ground and still have plenty of growth and potential ahead Itrsquos a good metaphor for Central Texas wine in general Wine makers are beginning to see the fruits of their labor There are many delicious wines made right here in our backyard ndash with plenty more to come This is only the beginning for Texas wine country

Hilmy uses Guinea

Praise CheesusNormally Central Market carries around 650 different kinds of cheese but as the holidays approach the cheese family will grow to over 700 different blends from all over the world From hard to creamy blue to white and soaking wet to bone dry cheese aristocrats do not discriminate

Trying Local Favorites Central Market carries goat cheese from Pure Luck Farms out of Dripping Springs and a broad selection of cheese from Full Quiver Farms in Camp Texas

WTCCheese is categorized by milk made from cows goats sheep and buffalo Sheep and goat milk cheeses tend to be more expensive because it requires 10 gallons of their milk just to create one pound of cheese

Try Before You BuyCustomers of (HEB owned) Central Market can sample any cheese on any given day in the cheese department When you find a cheese you would like to buy the local HEB can often bring in cheeses you request

Alta Langa La tur The personal favorite of Bill Hayes the Head Cheese Monger at Austinrsquos Westgate Central Market It has a cream cheese-like texture that is a blend of goat sheep and cow milkThe flavor sinks in after being chewed a few times giving your taste buds time to absorb its rich and yet delicate notes

Never Cheesy To PlateThe perfect cheese plate shoots for an odd number of cheeses typically 3 or 5 with a broad variety of flavor that can be paired with beer and wine Cheese plates can be served as appetizers snacks and even dessert

Gourmet Grilled Cheese The ever-popular Grilled Cheese Sandwich is often too predictable for its own good Bucking the status quo and using a more unfamiliar cheese is an easy way to kick up your cuisine and impress fellow diners According to Hayes ldquomeltabilityrdquo is the only requirement for an oh-so-good grilled cheese sandwich

ldquoCheese should be eaten at room temperature You should never eat

cheese cold because yoursquore not getting the full flavor of

the milkrdquo -Bill Hayes Cheese Monger

The tough exterior known as ldquoRindrdquo preserved cheese from flies in the days before refrigeration which increases the overall flavor profile Rinds include anything from salt and water to beer to wine

TRAVEL


Napa California

Wine Country Vacation

California is a popular travel destination with a lot to offer across the state Due to all the vacation options nearby Napa is one of those areas many want to visit but rarely ever make it out to Speaking from experience if you enjoy good food and good wine Napa is worth your vacation time

Hendry Ranch WinesStart your vacation with a tour of the quaint Hendry Ranch Wines The first half of the tour is a vineyard and winery tour given by a member of the Hendry family where you will learn about Napa history and winemaking But the highlight is the second half of the tour a seated wine education tasting where you will leave feeling like you know more about wine tasting than the aver-age sommelier The tour is $40 per person but is waived with equivalent wine purchase (rare in Napa)

Jarvis WineryThis ldquoWilly Wonkardquo of wineries was the first Napa winery to build the entire winery in a cave This means the fermenting bottling storing etc all happens in the cave (obviously the vineyards are still outside) Tours are only available by reservation and are worth the $60 per person fee

Domaine CarnerosThis gorgeous winery has beautiful architecture gor-geous gardens and makes magnificent bubbly This is one of the few winer-ies that has seated tastings which makes for a luxurious afternoon sipping on spark-ing grapes and snacking on cheese artisan meats or even caviar

Experienced travelers know that your hotel choice will have an affect on your opinion of the vacation destination as a whole The activities Napa has to offer are daytime activities Napa has a small town feel and winery workers want their evenings free just like we do The only thing to do after 5 pm in Napa is go out to eat go to a wine bar or on weekend nights there may be a play or concert in town everything else shuts down Since you have most likely been drinking wine all day after a nice dinner out you will want to relax somewhere nice and romantic Holiday Inn Express just doesnrsquot fit that bill

In Napa you should splurge on your accom-modations The best thing to do is rent a vacation home with a great view Nice hotels in Napa are expensive so for a small amount more you can get a lot more bang for your buck with your own private home yard deck and maybe even a hot tub After a long day of touring wineries you can sit out on your deck drink a bottle of a great find from the day and watch the sunset while eating dinner you picked up or maybe even grilled yourself on your patio Nights in Napa are cool even in the summer so after dinner you can spend time with your loved one in the hot tub looking at the stars It doesnrsquot get much more romantic than that

Tip ndash Check out VRBOcom to rent a vaca-tion home directly from the owner Donrsquot be afraid to ask for a discount on multiple nights especially weeknights

Wineries To do Napa right you need to research ahead of time and pick out the wineries you want to visit Narrow the winery choices down based on location to your lodging types of wine you like tours offered archi-tecture that interests you etc You can find reviews of all wineries on travel sites such as TripAdvisorcom

Plan on visiting 4-5 wineries in a full day just tasting at most and doing a tour and tasting at one Many winery tours have the same information so donrsquot go on more than one a day and try to book tours that offer dif-ferent things (barrel tasting wine education cave tours vineyard tours etc) Tours must be booked in advance and average $25 per person but can be as high as $60 per person $60 per person may seem high but for a pri-vate tour of one of the worldrsquos top wineries it may be worth the education and memories Tasting and tour fees are often waived if you join the wineryrsquos wine club

For a tasting you will be given a sheet of available wines with a description of each one You select 5-8 wines from the list to taste and the average tasting fee is $10 per person Donrsquot be scared to share a taste with your partner to save some money and to save yourself from a wine-induced headache later The pours may look small but they really add up and by the end of the day you will be happy you didnrsquot over indulge The last thing you want is to wake up on the second day of your vacation with a full day of wine tasting in front of you and a hangover to deal with

Tip ndash Not all small wineries have tasting rooms open to the public but you can still visit them Contact the winery ahead of time to schedule a private tourtasting for a fee This may end up being the highlight of your trip

Tours Another option for touring wineries is hiring someone to do the driving for you There are many experienced and knowledgeable tour guides in Napa There are private limousine tours available for approximately $60 per hour or to save money you can join a shuttle tour with other travelers for an average of $99 per person for the whole day For a private tour you tell your guide what wines you like and they will do all the rest Public tour guides will try to accommodate every-onersquos wish list but obviously canrsquot be entirely custom These tour guides sometimes have special relationships with the wine makers and can organize unique experiences not available to the public such as a picnic in a vineyard or a tour with the wine maker The price of the tour does not usually include the cost of a tasting or a tour at the wineries so keep in mind there will be additional costs

A special Napa must-do is to ride the Napa Wine Train Lunch and dinner tours are available daily and offer a unique view of the countryside There are different rail cars offering different levels of luxury from a non-air conditioned BBQ car for $99 per person to a fine dining dome car for $139 per person Wine can be purchased for an additional fee or you can bring your own for a corkage fee of $15 per bottle The meal is cooked onboard the train and you can even tour the kitchen if you like Book your tour in advance as the train sells out most days especially those summer weekends

Tip ndash Try wineries where you have to join a wine club to receive it at home Why fly to California to drink wine available at HEB
