Tomorrow I will venture into the deep wild west of Texas tumbleweed country to a remote, though well-known, outpost called the Perini Ranch. The small town of Buffalo Gap, endearingly referred to as Buffalo Crack by snarky city friends, is no less than a 3 hour-long trek from the nearest metroplex of Dallas/Fort Worth.
If you're a skeptic, you might wonder what could possibly be worth braving the far reaches of the vast, windswept, buffalo roaming, high-plains? It's the promise of a distant oasis of world-class gourmet food and wine, kicked-off in a way that only Texans can at the annual Buffalo Gap Wine & Food Summit. I am sold on the chance to rub elbows with some of Texas' most talented Chefs and Winemakers, along-side fellow dyed-in-the-wool foodies, winos and other Texas wildlife. I will be following up with photos and commentary as I taste my way down the drive trail... Yehawww!
