...upon arrival into this
ghost town, you saw the FOR SALE sign... and rumors from
within that it just sold again for $1.8m. The last
sale was in 2007 when it sold for $3.8m
 |
 |
|
The area was originally settled in 1877 as farm land. In
1892, the town, getting its first post office, was renamed
Albert. In the following years a general store and schools
were built, including one school where Lyndon Johnson
attended
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
several of us enjoyed taking pictures by the town's
population sign |
 |

|
...and WOW - look at those
two 500+ year old Oak trees
|

we left Albert, heading back up to Hwy 290, a short 17 miles
stopping about one mile east of
Johnson City to our first winery tour &
tasting. We had originally booked this for Saturday
afternoon however, with the detours and such, we didn't make
it and they rebooked us for today

Gary (owner) gave us the history of the
winery and vineyard along with information on their
processing (no oak barrels) |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|

Gary told us about their wines as we
enjoyed the tastings

|
|
|
 |
up front, Gary, Kathy and others assisted
us with wine purchases |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
we loaded up and headed on towards our next winery.
Our group shrunk again, with the Gormans, Gills, Hicks,
Benwares, McGoverns and Brefczynskis heading on home |
