8th Annual Wine Festival at Salado Winery & Salado Wine Seller

SALADO, TX- It is never too early to plan ahead for the best wine festival in Central Texas. Enjoy wine tasting at the best wine festival in Central Texas during the weekend of Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3, and you’ll find the Village of Salado filled with folks sipping wine, browsing art and nibbling on the best food at the 8th annual Texas Wine and Rogue Art Fest.

Celebrate spring by attending the biggest wine festival between Austin and Grapevine. There will be 20 wineries and vineyards pouring 100 different Texas wines, alongside 40 booths featuring art, delectable foods, and handmade goodies. At the Texas Wine & Rogue Art Fest, there will be wineries from Florence, Waco, & Meridian, as well as from around the state, such as Poteet, Fredericksburg, Marble Falls, Hye, Pittsburgh and Lubbock.. June Ritterbusch, festival organizer and winery owner says, “I am looking forward to trying the Cabernet Sauvignons, Tempranillos and Vermentinos, while other folks prefer the fruit wines and the sweeter styles”.

These wines will pair well with the handmade cheese from Texas Cheese House. If you’re looking for a more substantial meal try “In Hog Heaven” who specializes in pork sandwiches like, “Pignic Sandwich” a fried bologna sandwich. Foodies will also enjoy the olive oils from Spicewood Food Company. The full list of participants is available at www.saladowinefestival.com.

“I wanted to attract a different type of artist, so I named it ‘Rogue’ as in the artists are goin’ rogue,” Ritterbusch goes on to explain, “We are always searching for unusual artists and this year we have found some”. These Texas wineries are rogue entrepreneurs as well, and I think all the wine and art folks are going to create a great experience.”

The festival will be held on the park like grounds of Salado Winery & Salado Wine Seller at 841 N. Main St., Salado, rain or shine. Pets on leashes are allowed and families are welcome.

FOOD + WINE pairing along with ART, July 2nd

which wine is best? come find out July 2nd, 6-9 pm

The other day I got together with Chef Brandon to get some feedback on some wines I have been working on. I wanted his opinion on how I should oak the wines we are currently ageing. (See here for more details on where we are with making 2014 wines). I poured him a couple versions of our dry sangiovese rose, a couple versions of 3 Texan cabernet sauvignon, and a couple versions of 2014 Diamond Back. He helped me to think about which oak flavors married well with which wines. And he gave me feedback on the rose.

Brandon works for Classic Events Catering and from this wine tasting he put together a terrific wine pairing menu. This food and wine pairing will be available for $24.95 during the Art Opening Reception for John Davis, on Thursday, July 2nd, 6-9 pm. Tickets for the food and wine are available on eventbrite.

The menu includes a NEW debut, 2014 Salado Vineyard Sangiovese Rose which will be released at this event. This light summer rose wine has an orange citrus note and will be paired with Corn Cake sous vide pork belly, slow-poached quail egg, green tomato marmalade, and topped with American caviar

From the BARREL, 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from 3 Texans Vineyard will be previewed. Taste this wine before it is bottled and tell us what you think. If you enjoy it, we might even offer it to you at a special pre-bottling price. It will be served with Masa Tostado ‘churrasco style’ double cooked brisket, pickled red onion, avocado kewpie mayo, & kimchi Brussel sprout. The 3 Texans Vineyard is located west of the Temple Airport.

Sweet Tweet muscato will be chilled and presented with Tart grilled peach, goat cheese-mascarpone ‘cheese whiz’, clover honey, and oregano.

For an additional $5, folks can partake in the food and wine pairing described above, and participate in a special tasting of 2014 Tempranillo and 2014 Malbec grown in the 3 Texans Vineyard at 6 pm. This tasting will lead by winemaker, June Ritterbusch and will demonstrate the differences in aging a wine in various oaks.

Finally, the gnomadic fashion truck will be on hand. What is gnomadic Fashion? An online store + Fashion Truck! Their treasures include handmade, fair trade, and socially responsible goods.
