Women’s Wine Month is off to the Races in Texas Wine Country

Wine For The People’s has opened the doors at their new location in Fredericksburg, Texas! Winemaker Rae Wilson, an influential leader in the Texas wine scene, announced late last year that she would be joining forces with William Chris Wine Company (WCWC) to integrate her Wine for the People brands Dandy and La Valentía into the WCWC portfolio. The new location is located at 113 E. Park Street in Fredericksburg and will continue to celebrate the opening with several events, including the 10th anniversary of Dandy Rosé and an International Women’s Day event.

On Friday, March 8, in celebration of International Women’s Day, Wilson will host a winemaker social from 5pm to 8pm—Shelly Wilfong of the This Is Texas Wine Podcast will moderate the event, and it will feature conversations with female winemakers Wilson, Bénédicte Rhyne of Rhyne Wines , Jaclynn Renée van Sant Downes of Jaclynn Renée Wines and Nikhila Narra Davis of Kalasi Cellars . For $20 a ticket, guests will receive a glass of the 2023 Dandy Rosé, light bites, conversation with the featured winemakers and tastings from all of the featured wineries. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Grace Center of Fredericksburg. Tickets for the event can be purchased here .
