Spring Renewal – By Barbara Lecuona. Photos by Miguel Lecuona, Hill Country Light Photography. 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! We love to see the size and health of these bouquets across the vineyard! Learning to Understand the Estate Vineyard…

This time of year is when we remember that “wine is made in the vineyard”… and, in all candor: Wine is NOT Nature. VINEGAR is Nature. Wine is Culture. As in Agriculture. And specifically, Viticulture. It is the intentional work of careful, time-honored farming and vineyard management that allows every winemaker the opportunity to practice their craft.

So happy this guy walked into Siboney Cellars. I met dear friend Pete Valenzuela in 1982/83 at the Interurban Restaurant in College Station. He was a bartender and I was waiting tables during college having just transferred to Texas A&M as a junior. We had several excellent bartenders (hello John Marinos!), managers and wait staff led by Paul Klement (husband of Margaret Brooks Klement) Lisa Klement Frizzell I can hear you crying right now shouting his name! He’s a CPA now and married to Marina but to me he will always be a glass-tossing bottle-twirling Herradura margarita boss.

Time for a reunion?
