IMHO opinion Ft. Stockton should be closed period!!! It used to be our
halfway stopping point when we drove from the Houston area to Phoenix.

I've been to almost all the wineries in the Hill Country, but haven't been
to the Haak Vineyard & Winery Inc. which is actually pretty close to my
home. We did meet Gladys and Raymond Haak (lovely people) at a wine and
food pairing that was held in Kemah, TX at the Flying Dutchman.
