Hosted by Wine Guru John Bratcher from Rock Ridge Wine Traders, this seminar presented a panel of Vintners from four of Texas’ top wineries including McPherson Cellars, Brennan Vineyards, Pedernales Cellars, and for the first time in one of our popular seminars, Bending Branch Winery.

For the 2019 program, instead of featuring a particular type of wine, we offered the Vintners an opportunity to put their “Best Foot Forward” with their choice of their TEXAS REDS. Each 100% Texas grown wine was paired with a delectable morsel which  complemented the unique characteristics of these wines.
