The Estate Merlot Vineyard at Siboney Cellars Inflorescence: The pre-flowering stage emerging from Bud Caps protecting the flowers fall away to reveal hidden beauty The “flower” takes form as delicate fronds surrounding a tiny green berry Not hard to imagine a grape cluster from this bouquet!

To believe that “Texas harvests three months before most other regions,” you must ignore the full calendar of harvest dates — in Texas, and in other wine regions — that are largely determined not by “hot climate,” but by geography, varietal, and wine style.

Perhaps the most moving, haunting and authentic renditions of Siboney is sung by Raul Malo.
Our hearts are broken today, learning the news of the passing of this beloved singer, songwriter, storyteller and soulful performer. Bill Peary sent us the very sad news this morning.
Although we never met in person, we did see him perform in Helotes, thanks to dear friends Bill and Beth Blackmon. Ever since that moment, we have felt a deep connection through the soulful reach of his music, and in particular the singular voice he brought to the world. His millions of fans will never forget the first time they heard him sing.
I wish my father could have heard Raul’s version of Siboney. In the original lyrical form.
“Oye el eco de mi canto de cristal”
Indeed we will, Raul. Forever.
Abrazos, Miguel Lecuona

We thank God for the gifts of generosity and spirit as seen through friendship. And through the sharing of food and wine and most importantly, sharing of time together. Precious days indeed. Happy Thanksgiving.
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.
