Every Hour is Golden Hour in the Estate Vineyard

March 07

Categories: Barbara, In the Vineyards

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. Left to its own Nature, a grapevine will sprawl, grow and survive for decades, producing grapes in order to perpetuate. But this…

Wine Tasting – And The Wine Maker on the Other Side of the Table

June 05

Categories: Barbara, Miguel, Passion

Last night, we set up a dozen glasses to taste through red wine barrel samples from the 2017 Harvest. Barbara and I have tasted wines through a number of professional programs over the years.Last nights’s tasting – assessing our own wines – well, this was something entirely different, for both of us. …

Some days go beyond hospitality. Sunday will be one of those at Siboney Cellars. We start early, to honor a dearly departed friend of everyone at Siboney, by request of his family, to host a Last Light remembrance during our cigar club.

We follow that with our annual Sunday concert featuring Lauren Lizette Martinez presenting works of Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona in her own original format, during a sold-out matinee performance.

These aren’t tastings…They’re not trends. No AI-driven programming. And they will not break through wine media for extra coverage.

These are just connections to people we love.

Wine may not be at the center of the day but, unmistakably, it is the connection that binds us to our culture, our community. And makes days like this possible. Makes life meaningful. And memories everlasting.

Loving what you do, sharing what you can do, and loving the people who connect with you in the world around you…, that isn’t trendy. But it is why we are here.

There’s a whole lot of Cab Franc Testosterone rolling through the @texashillcountrywine region. And for good reason. Texas has something to say about quality Cab Franc!

So with all due respect, @besiboney has a special message for all those great Texas winemaker boys showing off their Francs: Size Matters!

Stop by this weekend and taste Siboney Cab Franc. From Magnum. ❤️🍷😉

Bringing in the 2026 estate harvest was a feeling unrivaled. Will tell the story another day but to see this beautiful abundant bounty roll into the cellar and safely to hands of our winemaking team was just unbridled joy, immense satisfaction.
