This is the seventh in a series of eight videos on Texas Wine trails. This episode features the Cross Timbers wine trail.The Cross Timbers and Prairies Ecological Region of Texas encompasses approximately 26,000 square miles in north and central Texas. Early travelers through north Texas coined the name "Cross Timbers" by their repeated crossings of this timbered area, thick with an almost impenetrable undergrowth of briars and other thorny bushes. The creek beds were lined with hearty native mustang grapevines which still thrive today. The undergrowth proved to be a barrier to travel toward open prairies to the east and west.
