The De Wett family rides heard more than forty some odd acres of vineyards, winery and restaurant.

Daughter Marnelle takes the harvest, processes, ferments, refines and turns the fruit of the vine into
vintages.

And like other wineries in East Texas, the De Wett's love selling the kiepersol label.

Still, plenty of traffic and bottles, in and out of Maydelle winery.

Founder Stephen Harper hung his first amatuer medal for his wine eleven years ago.

A fruit wine, produced by what Harper calls; "colorful people" bearing a black and white label, was made famous amoung fans.

Along with tasting wines, visitors can see the fruits of Harper's labor.

The quiet of Saint Jane Vineyard, in Palestine, may evoke a spirituality in visitors, but the namesake is no relgious icon.

The Thompsons vneyard covers over three acres.

His vineyard produces plenty of fruit.

Saint Jane is'nt licensed to sell wine, but this private label is given to friends and family.
