Taste the difference that winemaking style makes as you sample four unique expressions of identical Cabernet Franc. Join us for the Friesen Franc Off, where grapes harvested from the exact same block of the legendary Friesen Vineyards meet four distinctive winemaking visions. The winemakers from Lost Draw Cellars, Ron Yates, Signor Vineyards, and William Chris Vineyards showcase their talents to make the best wine with Cabernet Franc grapes. Experience the ultimate in Texas winemaking talent!
Compare how each winery's techniques create entirely different flavor profiles from the same stellar grapes. It's a rare chance to explore the pure artistry of winemaking with the vineyard variable completely controlled. Winemakers from all four wineries will pour their versions of the 2023 vintage Cabernet Franc at this event held on the great lawn in front of the Ron Yates winery.
Grape grower John Friesen will be on hand to sample additional wines made with grapes grown at Friesen Vineyards.
This casual tasting event welcomes both club members from all four wineries and visitors alike.
