Rodeo season is right around the corner. Kick it off early of the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Champion Wine Auction 6-10 p.m. on Wednesday, January 6, at San Antonio Shrine Auditorium, 901 N. Loop 1604.
The wine committee with celebrate its 15th anniversary as well as the Top 15 Champions, Double Gold and Top of Class winners from the 2025-26 International Wine Competition. (Editor’s Note: I have served as a judge for 10 or so years.) A portion of proceeds from wine committee events go toward scholarships dedicated to the advancement of viticulture in Texas, and those will also be presented at the event.
Individual tickets and tables of 10 for the wine auction are still available at sarodeo.com/wine.
If you can’t make it to the wine auction, many of the wines will be offered in the H-E-B Wine Garden on the Rodeo grounds during the 77th Annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, February 12 – March 1.
The Wine Committee also hosts several Uncork & Unwind events, including the Spring/Summer Fling, where many of the wines are served. We’ll share the date when available.
