The longest day of the year, summer solstice, is here. But what does it have to do with growing grapes in East Texas? Just about everything. Find out what's happening in the vineyard right now. It's nothing short of spectacular.

The 2023 vintage of the Kiepersol Steen is out today and it’s taste tested for summer. This fresh dry white wine appeals to the Sauvignon Blanc drinker as well as Chenin Blanc fans. We paired it with a great scallop recipe from AllRecipes.com that features a zesty jalapeño edge and a cooling orange bite that pairs perfectly with our Steen.
