A Morning in Houston with Drops of Golden Dew: Dotson-Cervantes Gotas de Oro
It was 9:30 on a weekday morning when the door bell rang. I expected this as, the evening before, I received a call from Alphonse Dotson. He said that he and his wife Martha were going to be in Houston visiting his Mother. They were on the verge of releasing their first wine and wanted to stop by to visit with my wife Delia and me.
Alphonse and Martha arrived at our home in central Houston on a sunny, dew-laden morning. We leisurely sat in our living room as we tasted their new wine, the first under the Wines of Dotson-Cervantes label with the fascinating name “Gotas de Oro”. The name was a contribution by Martha which translates to “Drops of Gold” from her native Spanish.
As we relaxed and talked about friends, family and common acquaintances, I poured the wine that was well described by its name. The silky yellow liquid poured from the bottle with the color of golden drops of morning dew. The initial taste was pure tropical expression with sweet, very ripe pineapple with afollow-on of apricot and nectarine. Perfumed jasmine aromatics arose from the glass. The finish included a hint of musk. This was really one complex wine; quite an accomplishment for the couple’s first commercial wine.

What Wine Do You Serve with Chicken Fried Bacon? The State Fair of Texas Winning Fried Food
Let’s see….You could go sweet as do the Germans. They pair ham, bacon and a whole host of pork sausages with off-dry Rieslings. The French on the German border augment their equally pork-rich diet with a raft of full bodied but dry white Vin d’Alsace including Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Gewürztraminer or even a lighter, dry sparkling white wine, Crémant d’Alsace. The Spanish go a different route with libacious quantities of young red wines known as “vino joven” or the slightly oak aged, crianza Rioja. They might even pull a bottle of dry fino Sherry.
