October is Texas Wine Month

Kicking off this beautiful October 1st, which also happens to be Texas Wine Month, by highlighting a winery and vineyard right in our backyard. @wild_stallion_vineyards
šŸ‡ 
Did you know Texas has a vineyard in Spring, that produces Blanc Dubois grapes? With just over 3 acres, Wild Stallion Vineyards produced 7,000 bottles this past harvest! Wild Stallion Vineyards produces 13 other wines, in which the grapes are 100% sourced from other Texas Vineyards.
šŸ‡ 
After traveling around the world, thoughts of owning a vineyard and making wine became a dream! Soon that dream became reality. Larry and Karen Cress gave life to Wild Stallion in 2009 in Spring, TX!
šŸ‡
I learned about Wild Stallion Vineyards while searching for opportunities to work a vineyard. I helped prune back in 2018 for 2 hours, so itā€™s safe to say that I helped produce a šŸ‡or two! šŸ˜†

If youā€™re celebrating Texas Wine Month, which I hope everyone is, please visit Wild Stallion Vineyards. My fav: Bjā€™s Reserve, slightly dry with tropical and mild citrus notes! Delish šŸ·

Memorial Weekend Rose’ Sips

Memorial Day is the perfect holiday to celebrate all of the men and women who served our county. We salute you!

Roseā€™ is the perfect wine to kick off the festivities for this upcoming Memorial Day weekend! Do you know Roseā€™? Roseā€™ itā€™s definitely a celebration wine. Itā€™s fun, colorful and it makes you wanna Roseā€™ All Day!

Roseā€™ wines are made by juicing red grapes and then allowing the juice to soak with the skin for a short amount of time. When the juice starts to develop the beautiful pink color, the skins are removed and the juice is allowed to ferment and thatā€™s when Roseā€™ is created!

Now that youā€™ve had Roseā€™ 101, letā€™s introduce you to some nice Roseā€™ wines.
