We are putting together a gift basket for the scholarship auction for our Aggie Club. I have used Rebecca Creek in the past but would like to try something different this year. Thanks in advance for any info.

William Chris Winery in Fredericksburg

One of its two owners is an Aggie, had a day trip out there a few weeks ago with the lady and they told us that when we stopped in. Im not a wine guy but the stuff we tried was pretty decent and we ended up buying 3 bottles. After Rebecca Creek I dont know of any whiskey that is owned or run by an A&M grad.

Don't forget Messina Hof in Bryan. They even have Association of Former Students labeled wines.

Not Aggies I don't think but the Bernhardt winery in Plantersville has a wine called Aggie Blush. Would be good for a gift basket.

Brewery and certainly not Aggie owned any more.

Ranger Creek out of San Antonio was founded by an Aggie and a couple other guys. But we all went to sip grad school together so maybe that changes your mind.

Look into Avonak vodkas and gins out of Houston when it launches. It's good stuff.

Rock Town Distillery in Little Rock is owned by Phil Brandon. Great little distillery paying the bills with vodka, gin and moonshine while starting to turn out some pretty good bourbons and whiskeys.

If any of you are passing through they are a good stop for a quick tour and tasting. They are about to relocate locally to a much larger building.

Not Aggie owned but they are my in-laws (and my Bride is an Ag!) so I'm giving them a shameless plug.

Chuck Robertson is an Ag. They got bought out but the original owners and family are still running the place per their buyout agreement.
The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

They've got one in Fredericksburg too with the same Aggie themed wines. If you'd like a better locale than Bryan.

I can second Italics wine. Went there my last trip to Napa. Had no idea about the Aggie connection until we got there and started talking to the guys. Great wine and awesome winery to visit.

This is a slight stretch but I know several Ags invested in Dulce Vida Tequila. So, sort of Aggie owned.
