Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
We Texans are all about our state pride, and one Hill Country restaurant takes that sentiment to a whole new level. Cabernet Grill in Fredericksburg boasts a wine list entirely comprised of Texas-made selections, and it’s a dining experience you can’t leave town without.
Hiding in the charming small town of Fredericksburg is an eatery that belongs on every Texan's dining bucket list. Cabernet Grill boasts not only some of the heartiest, most delicious cuisine you've ever tried, but also a wine list consisting entirely of Texas-made varieties.
Inside, the atmosphere can only be described as rustic elegance. A commanding brick fireplace and timber-framed architecture foster an environment perfectly conducive to meaningful conversation and a good time overall.
Covering one entire wall is a wine rack that will instantly clue you in as to the restaurant's namesake. There's even an on-tap pour that rotates on a regular basis.
A larger Texas wine list can't be found anywhere else. Choose from over 100 selections, including award-winning cabernets, malbecs, viogniers, sangioveses and tempranillos. Confused about pairing? No worries; the waitstaff visits each vineyard to learn what goes with all the menu items.
Inspired by local ingredients, expert chefs concoct culinary masterpieces with fresh seafood, Angus beef, and wild game. From jalapeno-stuffed quail to steak broiled at 1800 degrees, rest assured - nobody leaves the table hungry. Oh, and missing out on the bacon-roasted Brussels sprouts side would be criminal.
A quick glance at the dessert menu will leave you unable to say no. Triple chocolate mousse cake, Granny Smith apple crisp, and even chicken-fried pecan pie with spiked chocolate ice cream (trust us - it's amazing) are just a few of the mouthwatering options.
Enjoy your meal inside or opt instead to sit on the patio. Cozy umbrella tables and whimsical lights strung across the surrounding greenery create an ideal setting for any time of year.
