Haak Winery: History in the Making
Today you’ll hear my interview with Kyle Johnston and Tiffany Farrell of Haak Winery in Santa Fe TX. We discuss not only Haak’s rich history, but also what’s new since a new ownership team purchased Haak last year.
Texas wine news includes another new consulting winemaker working in Texas, big time news coverage for the Texas Hill Country, a review of a special tasting of Texas wine, and announcing a summer Texas wine event that you won't want to miss!
Cheers y'all!
