Get thee to the 'burbs, young man, from the mock aristos of Plano to the red(necks), white (foreheads) and blue (collars) of Irving (or the pretentious castellans of Highland & University Parks, near walled enclaves against the encroaching barbarian tides). Better Billy Bob's than lower Greenville Ave..

It should be noted, however, that oenophiles rank the wines of Grapevine as veritable Lambruscos of mediocrity.
