Parties are even more fun at a winery, and the Bluff Dale Vineyards is just were
we went to
celebrate the birthday of a dear friend. The vineyards were opened in 2004 by David and
Teresa Hays. This is a lovely setting to taste their unique blending of Texas-raised
grapes that are used in their award willing wines. Although the temperature threatened
to reach the century mark, we were comfortably cool sitting on the patio
listening to a band and sipping wine. The little town of Bluff
Dale, just down the road, sits very near the North Paluxy River in
northeastern Erath County. Originally known as Bluff Springs by pioneers who
settled here, Bluff Dale became the town name with the establishment of a post
office in 1877. In the late 1880s two events occurred that spurred the growth
of the tiny town, and both had to do with the railroad.
