Tall in Texas 2017 Award Winner
You can imagine how THRILLED and honored we were to learn we were the recipients of this year's Tall in Texas award.
What is the Tall in Texas Award? Here you go!
During the Texas Wine Tribute on Saturday, September 9, Grapevine’s 31st Annual GrapeFest – A Texas Wine Experience, presented by Bank of the West, will be held. During the gala, the highly-anticipated “Tall in Texas” award will be presented. This honor is bestowed upon a Texas winery in recognition of the winery’s leadership role in the dedication to, support of and promotion of the Texas wine industry. For the first time, two wineries have been selected to receive this distinguished award. The 2017 recipients of the Tall in Texas award are Lost Oak Winery of Burleson, TX and Brennan Vineyards of Comanche, TX.
Dressed in our very best, we proudly went to Grapevine Texas to receive the award.

Congratulations Jim, Carol won you a cruise to Alaska at the auction. hehe
Award was received, and then they made the error of telling Mariam & Angela to bring it home. It may have gone on a tour of Grapeveine TX, and there *may* have been a ransom note....
woo-hooo!
