What are peeps saying about a fab micro-winery, @railsnapwine with a cool-chic vibe INCLUDING comfy seating around a fireplace + a stunning view from their patio + picnic area? For starters, striking rare blue agave plants line the driveway + mirror the uniqueness of their wines + special ambiance.
.
Next, I ❤️ that the winemaker has chosen to age the wines to produce a smoother, rounder flavor in french new oak from 6 different cooperages, as well as concrete eggs. Wait, what, concrete eggs
.
Concrete eggs, as opposed to concrete fermentation tanks, were designed by Michel Chapoutier . Only Loire sand, gravel, unchlorinated spring water + cement are used, with no chemical additives or iron added. The egg shape gives a continuous flow to the wine as it ferments + ages, which allows a more homogenous liquid. It also gives a truer taste of the vineyard without oak aromas or sweetness to cover up deficiencies in the fruit, while offering an ideal combination of verve + richness, 2 characteristics that often come one at a time. The thick walls provide insulation + excellent temperature stability during fermentation, which avoids the need for artificial refrigeration. The egg wine offers a superior mouthfeel, the difference is obvious.
.
Add in another super cool factor; They’re introducing cognac barrels to their fermentation + aging process. This wine may steal your ❤️ as it engages in a complex, warm layering of cognac notes with intriguing character.
.
All of this is the creation of Pramod whose family owned a farm in India . As the owner of a software company + a talented engineer, the call of the wild coaxed him to seek out an estate vineyard in Paso’s bounty of land + congenial charm.
.
The cornerstone of success is his attention to detail + curiosity to explore + embrace transformational change. Amazingly he is currently enrolled at Harvard where his team of brillianttechies are diving into analytics to expand + improve business strategies.
.
Look to taste their interesting varietals such as Alicante Bouschet, Tannat + PicPoul Blanc or explore their Cab Sauv, Viogner or Rosé. Cheers my friends!

If you missed this, there is a fab new micro-winery, @railsnapwine that has a cool-chic vibe with comfy seating around a fireplace + a stunning view that overlooks Paso Wine Country on the eastside from their picnic areas. For starters, striking rare blue agave plants line the driveway + mirror the uniqueness of their wines + special ambiance.

About 30 Agave victoriae-reginae at @EastAustinSucculents in February 2017. These were all grown from seed at a former chicken farm in Kyle, Texas and were 11 years old and younger. They’re long since sold. Unfortunately, EAS won’t be stocking these types of big, cold hardy agaves anymore. It’s the end of an era. Fortunately, I’ve already acquired the vast majority of my agave collection. Thanks EAS for some of my favorite agaves!
The fourth and last in my “over-post” series (really a “best of species” photo collection) is a request for Agave ovatifolia photos. Here are 10 of my own favorites.
1/ In Palos Verdes, CA.
2-4/ In Austin, TX.
5/ In Fredericksburg, TX.
6-7/ In Austin.
8/ At @scbgarden, Palos Verdes.
9/ In Austin.
10/ In Round Rock, TX with me for scale.
