New Terrace Vineyard Taking Shape

March 08
Categories: Vineyards

?Short of having a baby, planting a vineyard is the most optimistic thing you can do in life.? The first vineyard site at Siboney Cellars is situated on the limestone terrace, at about 1430 feet elevation. Located midway between Johnson City and Hye, this portion of the 52 acre parcel is gently sloping south-to-north (from the back of the property towards US290). We are struck by the depth, quality, and drainage already in evidence. We are ripping the soil to…

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.  …

Update on 100% Texas Labeling Bill HB4233 – Public Testimony

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…

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!

Cigar Talk:
We get questions about Cuba. Whats happening in Cuba. When can we travel to Cuba. When can we organize a trip to Cuba….

We are not going to Cuba. You are not going to Cuba. Not for a while yet…

Update: “In late January, the Financial Times reported that Cuba had less than a single month’s worth of oil in reserve. Already, the country’s energy stockpiles appear to be dwindling. Havana informed international air carriers this week, for example, that it will no longer be able to refuel commercial jets on Cuban tarmacs.”

Whatever is happening is going to take time. Whether the Cuban government can twist out of this submission hold, or tap out, remains to be seen. They never have tapped out in 66 years.

Even though humanitarian aid continues, be certain that the situation is quite seriously deteriorating. Obviously it has already been, and will continue to be very hard on the Cuban people. A very severe test. They are marching in Havana. The prospect of Freedom brings forth courage like nothing else. Abrazos to all

About that peasant stew… everyone has a family recipe. This one is Barbara Lecuona’s from her mom Jean. There are many family debates about whether it should be boneless or whole chicken pieces, dumplings or potatoes (both please!). But there is no debate from me that this became an instant classic hall of fame favorite dish. Simple, layered, toasty, and unmistakably earthily spiced. To watch it as it is assembled is culinary torture — I wish you could sit inside this aromatic pot of winter goodness.

Having succeeded at pairing a similarly ethnically relevant and historic dish — Mole — I am gonna pull the 2024 Mourvedre for this one too.

I could get used to this winter diet! For another 48 hours!
