Not only is Kathy Petrino is enthusiastic traveler who is determined to see as much of the world as possible in her lifetime, but she also loves to write about all of it. She writes about it because she sees that as a way to help others enjoy travel as much as she does, with less of a downside. Kathy Petrino believes sharing knowledge keeps travel destinations afloat and appealing to visit repeatedly.

That is why she writes so often about one of her favorite destinations anywhere, Texas Wine Country. Face it; when people think about a vacation to taste wine, Kathy Petrino knows Texas isn’t usually the first area they consider. That is why she is keen to make sure everyone knows that the Lone Star State has worked hard to improve its reputation as a wine producer, and that Texas Hill Country has been growing some of the finest grapes in the country, if not the world. Dozens of Texas wineries now produce some of the best varietals outside the West Coast. That includes many Tempranillos, Malbecs, and Cabernets. The area features hundreds of state-of-the-art tasting rooms and the area has plenty of music and wine events, including combinations of Texas barbecue brisket with country and rockabilly music, as well as great wines.
