"There have been lots of guides written about Texas wineries, but this is the first work of fiction that I know of that has embraced them so dearly. When was the last time you read a novel with mentions of Roussanne and Mourvèdre? May did a great job of intertwining information about Texas wineries through Kate’s story. She paints a vivid picture of our wineries, Fredericksburg, and the Hill Country as a whole. It’s almost like having a guidebook sprinkled throughout a fun novel. I’m hopeful that folks that enjoy Texas wineries will enjoy Cactus Christmas, and Texas wineries will have some new fans through May’s writing." - Andrew Klein, TXWineLover
