Threshold Vineyards showed up at the Houston Rodeo and I took their card and vowed to check this…read moreplace out. Really easy drive (about an hour from Houston) AND it's next to a Bee Farm. This has some seating indoors and some outdoors, so going during the fall is probably ideal. Not a huge space, but when I arrived on a 100-degree day, there were plenty of seats to choose from. I did two different flights- the sparkling and the tasting. I'm more of a red lover, but the Blanc Du Bois semi-sweet is one of the only whites I've REALLY enjoyed (I received a tasting of this at the rodeo and wanted to check out more options here since I loved it so much). There are only two sparkling options at the moment, so I tried both. The real star was the Belle for me. I can definitely see myself taking this to brunch or enjoying while cooking a meal. It is light and refreshing and you can totally taste the fruity guava notes in it. The Blanc Du Bois regular is not sweet enough for me which is probably why I enjoy the Semi Sweet so much. Of course, I left with a bottle of this as well. I'd like to come back and try their Reds- but definitely something I'll have to do in the future. If you're already out this way, you can taste some wine and then book a Bee-Keeping class which I really enjoyed.

I HIGHLY recommend going out and giving this local family some business. You'll have a great time…read moreand taste some delicious wines as well. This place is SO ADORABLE!!! It is a small, local winery run by a family. You meet all of them - the mom, dad and their grown children (sometimes all, sometimes only a few) as well as even an uncle. They have set times for wine tastings. When you get there, you get your own table for your party (they have inside & outside tables) and they introduce you to the wines and which they grow at their vineyard & give you a history of the place. They also have snack trays that you can order with grapes, cheese and meats. Those are also all super yummy. Normally, I'm not a fan of drier wines. But I liked EVERY wine they had us try. I also tried a the sangria (I think it was) that was not part of the tasting wines, and I was not a fan of that because it tasted far too much like champagne. They are small, so they only make 3-5 different wines every year. But each one is such high quality. Their son, who is the mastermind winemaker, and he is very sweet (and super smart) and will answer all your questions about his process and what's upcoming. Just like the inside, the outside is very cute & quaint. They have a patio with some tables and then some acres with their vines. Unfortunately, we did not come when there were grapes on the vine, so everything we saw was bare. But that's just a reason to come back! Since it's such a small operation, the dad also gave us a you're of when they barrel and do wine science! And since I studied architecture, he also asked for my opinion on their thoughts of expanding their building because they are running out of room!

My brother wanted to stop here before we saw a show at Reed Arena and I didn't think twice about it…read moreas I love mead. The man who runs the operation knows his stuff--like REALLY knows his craft. The little shop is perfect for a quick hang and is super comfortable. The mead is delicious. He even let us try a nitro/smoked version of one of his latest batches. You've gotta stop here if you're in downtown Bryan & absolutely check Him out during a First Friday.

FANTASTIC!! Our waiters Steven & Kai and sommelier Lee were…read moretop notch! All of the food was amazing. Wine choices were perfect. I'd come back in a heartbeat ! Expensive but worth it w the large portions & beautiful sunset view! 10 stars (We will definitely be back knowing that they get their meat from Rosanthals meat science building on campus) If I'm gonna be picky, I would only say Burrata needs to be plated with maybe some delicious garlic crostini's, figs/fig jam, macadamia nuts or something creative. I would not get this again only because the tomatoes were terrible. And the scallop potatoes on my Seabass were undercooked and just bland - I feel like this plate needs more colorful vegetables and a little more creativity for such an amazing buttery Seabass. But again, I'm just being picky for feedback. Everything truly was amazing!

While I love steak, steakhouses aren't normally my jam. That said, I've been to many top-level…read moresteakhouses over the years. I've found most of them to be overrated, more style over substance. So, that said, a recent visit to De Baca was a better experience. Yes, like at most steak-centric restaurants, a meal here is not free. But De Baca delivered the goods, from the ahi tuna appetizer to an excellent filet and delicious sides, all executed as one would expect from an establishment at this level. Our server Aspen did a great job ensuring we were taken care of, without hovering. Despite being on the edge of summer, we enjoyed a nice meal outside, but the inside dining area is also nice, without being too clubby. If a steakhouse is your vibe, De Baca is worth a visit.

Lancelot. Not Antoinette…read more The Antoinette is an upstairs corner room with a balcony overlooking the turtle pond. Lancelot is downstairs. Lots of windows. No outside access. Both rooms are nice. We booked Antoinette, but because of a temperature control glich, we were moved. Mrs Jean is the Inn Keeper. She's great! She and the staff provide an amazing breakfast spread. Muffins, fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt, juice. Today's hot dish was a bacon egg quiche with sundried tomato puree. Mimosas with MH sparkling are included, as well. Your stay includes a hosted tour of the property and a wine and cheese from the Wine Bar. This was our third stay. We will do this again.

The menu offered a wide variety of choices, making it difficult to decide. After much consideration, we all ordered the Filetto di Bue--a herb-marinated, choice tenderloin filet served atop a portobello mushroom, finished with a rich red wine demi-glace and accompanied by mashed potatoes and the chef's vegetables. I wish I had taken pictures. Not only was it delicious but also artfully plated. For dessert, we shared the strawberry cheesecake and the espresso crème brûlée. While I'm not a huge fan of creme brûlée, this was delicious and I could have happily eaten the whole thing by myself. The ambiance is perfect for a special occasion or a date night yet also family friendly. A couple performed live music during our visit, adding to the atmosphere. At the end of their set, they came by and thanked us for coming. Service was attentive and welcoming throughout the evening. I'd happily return.
