Join us for a special tasting showcasing Bending Branch wines crafted from grapes grown at Tallent Vineyards in the Texas Hill Country. Nourished by Mason County’s unique Hickory Sandstone aquifer, Drew Tallent’s vineyards produce fruit with remarkable complexity, vibrant aromatics, concentrated flavor, and a rich, luscious character that shines in every glass.

Taste through a curated selection of wines from Tallent Vineyards and be among the first to experience two new releases: the 2023 Charbono and 2022 Tannat. Discover how site and soil combined with innovative winemaking influence these exceptional wines as you explore the unique characteristics of each varietal.

The tasting will be led by Bending Branch COO Jennifer Cernosek, Owner and Executive Winemaker Dr. Bob Young, Winemaker Greg Stokes, and grape grower Drew Tallent, who will share insights into the vineyard, growing season, and winemaking decisions that bring these wines to life. This is a rare opportunity to celebrate one of Texas’ premier vineyard sites while enjoying exclusive new releases and the stories behind them.
