All Gone

All of the wonderful 2006 Barbera is gone from the tasting room. We reserved a very small amount for our Wine Club library (watch for details very soon). Fans of the spicy 2005 Rustler's Red should be aware that fewer than 5 cases remain of this unique wine. Every vintage of this wine is made from different varieties, so there will never be a vintage like this one.

The good news, however, is that the 2006 Rustler's Red is in the bottle and we will be releasing this wine in the near future. This year's version is primarily Syrah and is going to be very, very nice. Production was very limited, so watch for this one.

Spring Planning

It's going to be a busy spring and early summer! St. Patrick's Day was loads of fun and we had a great time entertaining our visitors with snacks, green wine and Irish music!

Road Trip!

The Wildflowers Road Trip has been scheduled for May 2, 3 & 4th, and tickets are now availble for $50/couple. Each ticket holder will receive a pair of tasting glasses from Reidel Crystal, special pasta and wine pairings at each winery, tasting and more! Click here for tickets.

The Way Out Wineries have a full calendar this year, so plan ahead to make your trip special. Don't forget to call our favorite B&B, Star of Texas in Brownwood, for reservations -- be sure and tell them you're on the Road with WOW and get that 10% discount! Whenever you're in this area, don't miss the Turtle Restaurant in downtown Brownwood, and don't forget to take a bottle of our wine with you, since there's no corking fee when you take wines from the Way Out Wineries.

What's Happening?

The 2006 vintage has already produced some wonderful wines and we believe you'll love them when you try them. The barrel tasters declared that our 2006 Rustler's Red was ready to bottle, so watch for the release of this wine very soon. We should mention to fans of the 2005 Rustler's Red that supplies are getting short of this spicy little gem.

Rustler's Red Chili A customer suggested this and we tried it and think it's the best chili we've ever tasted. When you make chili (we used a commercial packaged mix for ours), replace the water with our 05 Rustler's Red. The aroma is fantastic and the flavor is incredibly rich, no matter how spicy you make it.
