Salt Lick Vineyards & Salt Lick Cellars with Garrett Strickler

Today's guest is Garrett Strickler, vineyard manager at Salt Lick Vineyards and wine director at Salt Lick Cellars. We talk about regenerative agriculture, what makes Salt Lick Vineyards such a prime spot for viticulture, and why Texas Hill Country rose should be on your list. In Texas wine news, I'll discuss the plans for the first ever Hill Country Wine Camp, share fun news about another Texas winery using alternative packaging, and announce TEXSOM conference dates. Cheers to all of the fun Texas wine events happening this spring and summer!
