The Big Winery is a great winemaking facility.  It is owned by the Grayson County College Foundation.  It is located in Texas about 60 miles north of the Dallas - Ft. Worth metroplex.  It has tank capacity of about 35,000 gallons or about 15,000 cases of wine.

This page has 50 photos, so it might take a while for it to load, especially if you are not on a broadband system.
