Wrapping up 2024 with Valerie Elkins: This Year in Texas Wine
Welcome to my year-end wrap-up. Joining me to talk about the year in Texas wine is Valerie Elkins. She’s managing director of membership operations at William Chris Wine Co, co-founded the Texas Wine Auction, is the executive director of Texas Wine Growers and is also one of the co-founders of Grafted, the Texas wine organization that was recently started to support women in the Texas wine industry.
As always, there’s Texas wine in the news. In our news segment, I’ll share what’s making headlines and raising eyebrows across the state and beyond. Recent news includes big reviews for Texas wines, Houston’s rodeo uncorked wine competition results, a new profile of the Texoma ava, a Texas wine award for HEB’s top wine executive, and much more.
Cheers y'all!
