A Note from the Founders
Wines of Texas was born from a return home.
I grew up in Austin and the Texas Hill Country, with family roots in Dripping Springs that go back generations. Years after my family sold the ranch, I met my wife, Malana, in the same town — only minutes from the land I never stopped loving.
We’re building Wines of Texas together — a quiet guide to the wineries, people, and places that make this corner of the country unlike anywhere else.
