Barbara happily receives the gorgeous September harvest of Mourvèdre from Shelia Busch at Fire Oak Vineyards.
Long before we dared to dream of making it ourselves, we readily understood that wine is really made in the vineyard. We are fortunate to work with top growers like Neal Newsom and Lahey Vineyards in the High Plains. Indeed, your feedback on wines like Quatre Rouges, Solo, Tempranillo is so encouraging. Ditto the upcoming 2019 Merlot Cellar Selection! We also have a custom-farming agreement with a fantastic new High Plains vineyard…
As we prepare the 2019 Merlot from Newsom Vineyards for bottling, we thought you might like to read a little more about this very special Cellar Selection from Siboney. The wine premiered as a pre-sale barrel sample wine to Members at the Spring Release event in April, 2021. We will fully release this wine in the Fall.

Nearly 150 members and guests of Siboney Cellars put roots down in our vineyard with us over the weekend of April 10 and 11. That just stuns us. We are every bit as excited as you to commit new vines for estate wines.
We now have yet another reason to cherish this opportunity to plant our vineyard in April. And start another chapter in the forever tale of this beautiful region of the world. Having found this perfect specimen of a fossil that will be on display in our wine cellar, it somehow becomes clear that everything we do is interconnected. Not just winter into spring, but awakening to the connection of past, present and future.
Team Siboney: The Fireman. El Euro. The Voice. Lil Red. The Story Master.
Not just Tasting Room Staff, these are hospitality experts steeped in the culture of the “incredible guest experience.” They are wine-and-culinary geniuses, storytelling orators, culturally engaged students of learning, and tireless practitioners of joyful service… Siboney Service.
They’re from here - local hill country volunteers, neighbors. Fierce advocates for Texas Wine, and building on the positive reputation of the Texas Hill Country Wine Region. And they are your friends, anytime you need one.
A little inside baseball: this group of wonderful people routinely choose to share tips across the team rather than play it solo, especially on event days. Their choice.
Over the past four years, when one of the team is sidelined, the others always step up, fulfilling our service duties and responsibilities without complaint. This is because they understand the value of being there for each other.
It’s hard to put into words the value of these qualities to the entire enterprise.
We only compete against what we are capable of doing. We are completely grateful to our tasting room team, because their energy, attitude and enthusiasm allows us the privilege of creating the most unique and interesting wine and culinary experiences to be offered anywhere.
And we would not have it otherwise. You have told us this directly, and have seen this in practice, time and again. You have feasted on it through Kappy’s incredibly thoughtful and approachable event menus, club release pairings and culinary experiences offered by this team all year, including monthly domino day pig roasts, and the rollicking high energy club releases each season. The team enables all of that. And of course you’ve long appreciated Barbara’s artistry in the cellar, presented by this team every day. And many evenings.
We are honored and proud to suit up and go to work with this enormously capable team in the tasting room, and at your service.
