Salado, TX — 2020 may not be a favorite year for some, but for many central Texas wineries, it has been a record breaking year. “With sales down and harvests and yields up we have had much more time for winemaking this summer” says owner of Salado Winery, June Ritterbusch. “There is so much more grape growing in this area than there was when we started 15 years ago, we were excited to take advantage of the opportunities available to us this year”.

I used to wonder what happens to pilots when they grow old. Pilots are an interesting group of individuals. Pilots tend to be independent, confident, self-initiators, risk takers, and best of all story tellers. It is usually not hard to tell when a group of pilots are in conversation. A sure give away is seeing a lot of hand movement, a loud lackadaisical tone to their voice, and all other’s eyes fixed on the speaker with an occasional smile or nod of agreement. Such is the atmosphere on any given Saturday around brunch time at McCain’s Café in Salado, Texas.
