Fall is Here!
This is Texas Wine Month and the weather is really making it a fantastic time to visit the vineyards and wineries in our great state. The rains have greened up the countryside and the vineyard and we've expanded the list of available wines with three new releases. We're gratified by the wonderful reception to the 2007 Blush and the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, and we're now happy to also make our 2007 Sunset available to its many fans. And it won't be long until we'll be ready with two more great wines from the 2006 vintage - the Merlot and Reserve Cab.
The news at the gas pump is good, so come see us, or make plans to join us on the upcoming Way Out Wineries Road Trip in November. Tickets will be on sale soon for this kickoff event for the holiday season. We're going to bring back the popular stemless glassware, so watch for all the details.
The Abilene Reporter News featured our winery and the Way Out Wineries in a great article Sunday, 6/29/2008. Click HERE to read the story. We at Rising Star want to extend our great appreciation for all of the new friends and customers who saw this article and have come to visit us. It has been our special pleasure to make your acquaintance and we look forward to serving you again.
The Way Out Wineries have more opportunities for fun on our 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. Be sure and visit their new Gelateria next door for a perfect summertime treat!

What's Happening?
The wines of the 2006 vintage have been wonderful, but they disappear as quickly as they are released. As you can tell from our Inventory Update, we've been busy with bottling. Many of our most popular wines are gone from the tasting room, but there is some good news for fans of some of these wines: a small quantity of these wines have been reserved for the lucky few charter members of our soon-to-be-announced wine club. Watch your inbox for details very soon.
