Written By By Kelly Doherty

We are thrilled to have been a part of the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo this year! This prestigious wine competition showcases over 1,000 wines from across the U.S. and worldwide, all judged in a blind tasting. We are especially proud because the proceeds from this event go towards supporting the education of Texas youth and advancing viticulture in the region.
