100% Texas Wine Labeling – Now Where Do We Go?

June 13
Categories: News

We think theres a better starting point for labeling and requiring Texas wines to be sourced from 100% Texas Grapes.  And, we think the benefits of doing so will be positive for all, including the consumer.  In fact, it is the wine consumer that is at the heart of this idea.  And the idea is simple:  start at the sub-appellation level for requiring 100% Texas grapes.  …

April 22
Categories: News

Here is a view from a new 100% Texas winery whose owners oppose the HB4233 Legislation.  Its our view, and we place it before other wineries and vineyards in Texas, with complete respect for all voices in this industry and especially for those who have not found their voice.  There are other ways, better ways to address the many aspects of the wine business that are discussed here. And we agree with Dr. Pat Brennan. We can do…

Just got this new gadget. It’s called a “radio”. Once you plug it in, you have to master a rotary dial to “tune in” stations already broadcasting content. It’s easy don’t worry. Just rotate the dial and the needle points to different numbers on two different sources. They call those AM and FM so you do have that as a learning curve.

Background: Turns out there are “radio waves” all around us and this Victrola has a little wire coming out the back that can magically intercept them and direct the passing signal to speakers. It When you find something interesting it has another feature — you can make it louder by turning a different rotary switch. I just got up from my chair and tried it, in true FAFO spirit. Works great!

This is just fantastic and I felt compelled to bring it to your attention.

No streaming required. No WiFi or subscriptions needed. No service outages from local internet providers.

Amazing. Hope it catches on.

Oh there’s also something called a “Bluetooth” switch that somehow manages to receive and play music you might have on your phone.

Will wonders ever cease.

Go Victrola!!

Our Premium Brand for this Release #11: Micallef Cigars - Esteli, Nicaragua

We are thrilled to announce the return of Micallef Cigars to Siboney for our Premium feature. The Micallef Cigar company is, perhaps, new to many. We featured one Micallef in August 2024, and it was so highly regarded we knew we would have them back for the full featured premium spotlight in a future release. With the introduction of their new “color” series, the timing is perfect for the return and presentation of this fantastic boutique cigar producer. ��The founder, Mr. Al Micallef of Weatherford Texas, has entrepreneurial DNA in his roots. In 2016, as an avid Cigar Lover, he took the next step and partnered with a venerable family in the tobacco business dating back to 1934 in Cuba. The Gomez-Sanchez family has roots in Pinar del Rio. With a history including Partagas and H. Upmann, and a fully operational factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, the family heritage of growing tobacco, hand-crafting vitolas, and creating an authentic brand are all essential attributes of Micallef Cigars.

We have a fantastic day on tap.

First steps of Spring are emerging at @siboneycellars! Texas Mountain Laurel and Redbud lead the way, and the overseed grass - dormant for the winter - was finally activated by recent rains.

Won’t be long for the vineyard to emerge. Just you wait!
