I contacted Green and Red Winery last week after a good review on their zins from WS "Insider". They've shown up a couple of times before. I'm always looking for those few wineries that offer excellent wine at good prices.
Anyway, I googled them and then called. A woman answered the phone with a simple hello and when I asked if I was talking to G&R she said "Oh, you want to speak to my husband". She then handed the phone to him. After some conversation I said that I was looking to order some wine but noticed that Texas wasn't on his shipping list. He said he'd check it out and call me back. An hour later he called and said he can't ship to individuals in Texas because the state require a $250 annual fee and his was too small an operation to afford the fee.
Like Joe at Hillcrest Cellars, it is always just that much more fun when you come across the small/personal operations making wine for the love of it (and hoping for a profit).
Give Green and Red a try and let me know.
