Texas Legato

I finally went out to look for the 2 wineries in Lampasas and I was happy to find them. Texas Legato is a small family owned winery. The owners of Texss Legato and PIllar Bluff, the winery next door, are brothers which is really cool.
I think they had 5 wines which ranged from sweet to dry. That is a plus if you have a group with drastically different wine tastes. The best part is they had a tasty winerita that I happily consumed in the Texas summer heat. As most small wineries, Texas Legato changes what wines they make yearly due to how the growing conditions change.
If you like wines stop here… then head over to Pillar Bluffs. Wine making definately runs in the family

Texas has been underrated for years when it comes to wine making. I have experienced great private wines for the past fifteen years but just recently have the vineyards started releasing consistently good wine. That being said today has changed my perspective significantly. Having just sampled over twenty wines produced by Texas Legato starting with their first production of 2005; Texas can produce top quality wines that compete with the best in the world. Stand outs today were the Texas 2006 Cab Sav, 2011 family reunion, 2011 Malbec, and the star of today was the 2011 Hoover Cabernet that we paired against a 2000 Opus One Cabernet. Hands down the Hoover was a stand out amazing wine. It is exciting to know that these Texas grapes are producing wines that are maturing at 10 – 15 plus years and will be cherished for years to come. I thank Bill and Sue Lynn for inviting me this incredible event and look forward to indulging in wines from this and like vineyards in the years to come.

Our second time here, this is a very friendly location with people seemingly falling over themselves to help you. We arrived right at opening and tasted on their porch on a cool afternoon. The ambiance is more of a country good time as everything said «Come on in and sit for a spell!»
They grow a lot of their own grapes and are willing to experiment with their wines. We enjoyed and purchased a few.

Recently returned to Texas Legato to enjoy their annual crawfish boil. This was definitely a fun event with piles of crawfish, potatoes, corn and sausage being offered every half hour or so. How is works: you pick up your cardboard box lid and belly up to the table where they dump out the contents of the pot, and then you scoop up your share! The ticket cost also included one glass of wine and dessert (bourbon bread pudding). As far as their wine offerings the Petite Syrah remains my favorite.

Super friendly, super yummy! My parents came here a couple weeks ago and decided they had to bring me back when I visited from Seattle. Bill, the owner. Wasn’t there when I came, but he sold my parents a delicious port which they gave me for Christmas this year. Do yourself a favor and try all of them… and the chocolates!!!

Winery offerings were great as was Wendy our hostess. Quaint little tasting room with a nice variety of Texas wines. Loved the Port-​like wine served in a special sipping glass. Just a few miles off Rte 183 in Lampasas next to their sister (or should I say brother) winery Pillar Bluff so you get two wineries in one trip. Selection is one of the best in this part of the hill country. Definitely will return! Visit their website at

The Traveling Winers on Texas Wine Trail
There is not a better way to start your day than spending it with the girls at the Texas Legato Winery! Alicia, our hostess, and Amanda, the tasting room manager and hostess#2, welcomed us into their cozy, quaint tasting room. In fact, we learned that Legato means «a gathering of family & friends», and that is exactly what it felt like. Nice job, all!
Bill and Sulynn Bledsoe are the owners of the winery which began in 2007. They currently plant 7 acres and also source additional needed grapes mainly from Texas. Amanda told us that they are planning an expansion of their cozy winery/​tasting room, so this might be something to go experience a before and after wine tasting, don’t you think? :-)
Two of the fun things they do here are: 1. serve you a plate of crackers, cheese and sausage with your tasting (oh…and chocolate with the port!) and 2. serve your port taste in a oh-​so-​cute-​little port glass!
We recommend that you drop by for a little wine tasting, a little snack, and a little cheer.
We are very confident that you will find it all waiting for you here!
Drop us a note and let us know what you thought of the port glass. Did it change the taste of the port for you?
Happy Trails!

I really disliked the wine tasting glasses here. They are small and do not allow you to smell the wine like you are able to with a larger glass. Also, their bar seemed more appropriate for standing, but they had large bar chairs to sit on. Your knees knocked the wood underneath and the counter was far away.
That said, the wines were good and we got to go in the back and see some of the process and taste one of the wines from the barrel.

Great beginning to our Month of Sundays Barrel Tasting. We arrived early, but were welcomed nonetheless. Generous tastings. The barrel tastings were fun. And the wine was good. The 2010 Malbec was our fav. Saving that bottle for a special occasion. Oh and the asiago crisps. Ask for those. They’ll probably know who sent you.

Mrs. B and I really like this winery’s offerings. I highly recommend the 2008 Family Reunion. The winemaker there takes all the grape varietals in the proportion in which they are sourced for a given year and creates a blend in that proportion. The 2008 vintage of this signature blend comprises 40% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Syrah, and 10% Merlot. It makes for a great blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon produced by TX Legato is also very good. Those two lines are some of Mrs. B’s and my favorite Texas wines. I highly recommend stopping by this location some weekend if you find yourself touring the northern side of the Texas Hill Country.
