Recollections and Recipes of the Winery and the Vineyards Restaurant

We wanted this to be a cookbook with a view of its beginnings, starting with the winery. The restaurant came four years later. We had the good fortune to purchase the restaurant land in 1983. The winery took most of our time. Our son Charles had worked as a chef in New York and Kansas City and had also worked for his grandmother Mary Wallace (Patricia's mother) in her (famous) drive-in restaurant in Lufkin, Texas. We suggested to him that he revive the old house with our help. Winery customers all wanted a place to have lunch. The restaurant would complement the winery and vice versa. He finally agreed, revived the old house almost single handedly and made the restaurant famous. After a while, the tail wagged the dog. This is an intimate view of the story, with recipes included. ?
