The wildflowers aren’t the only thing blooming this time of year in Texas. While I’m a proponent of drinking rosé all year, sales of the pretty pink bottles soar in spring and summer. To kick off the season, Texas Wine Revolution will be held at the Horseshoe Bay Resort on Sunday, April 22nd from 1-5pm.

It is your opportunity to sample over 40 wines from more than 25 wineries around the state, with the focus being on 100% Texas rosé. Food Vendors, educational seminars, music and an auction will round out the day.

The event, which was started by William Chris Vineyards, will feature both their signature bottle and samples of canned wine Sway Rosé, a side project of Chris Brundrett and Lost Draw Cellars’ Andrew Sides. Look for Dandy Rosé by Rae Wilson, bottles from Lewis, Becker Vineyards, Lost Draw Cellars, Messina Hof, Fall Creek, McPherson, Spicewood, Perissos and more. To purchase tickets and for a complete listing of wineries, food vendors, and additional details, visit their site Texas Wine Revolution. Hope to see you there!
