Crazy Tasting: Four Wines, four Winemakers, one Vineyard

FROM THE WIRES...

Ever wonder how much a winemaker really shapes a wine? Let’s put it to the test. Join us for the first annual Friesen Franc Off, a one-of-a-kind tasting event starring the ever-intriguing Cabernet Franc red wine. Four of Texas’s top wineries took Cabernet Franc grapes from Friesen Vineyards from the 2023 harvest and each did their thing. Now it’s time to taste the results. You’ll experience four different expressions of Cabernet Franc along with the winemakers from:

• Ron Yates

• William Chris Vineyards

• Lost Draw Cellars

• Signor Vineyards

Same fruit. Same vintage. Totally different wines.

Compare, contrast, and decide: how much of the magic is the grape—and how much is the winemaker?

When: 1:00 PM  5:00 PM, Saturday, July 26, 2025

Where: Ron Yates, 6676 Hwy 290 W, Johnson City, Texas

Tickets are available online for $40.
