Special note
about Cellar Rat wine
The wines I’m making are approachable, versatile, drinkable dry reds. I want to make wine that appeals to the largest audience. I have had people who only drink white wine tell me mine are great.
These wines are not food dependent wines but also compliment a plethora of different foods.

This season’s
wine release
2017 Sangiovese
100% Sangiovese
196 cases produced
The 2017 Sangiovese comes from the Letkeman Family Vineyards in Gaines County, Texas. Andrew Sides from Lost Draw Cellars helped me with the acquisition of these grapes.
This wine was aged in neutral French Oak for 16 months and is made for pizza. Don’t worry all 3 of you pizza haters out there because, it’s amazing with spaghetti and meatballs too. Really anything red and Italian is gonna go well with this Sangiovese. It pairs well with just a glass too. Throw the cork away cause you’re not gonna need it after you open this beauty.
2017 Estoy Aqui
66% Primitivo
34% Sangiovese
144 cases produced
The primitivo came from Narra Vineyards in Terry County and the Sangiovese is from the Letkeman Family Vineyards in Gaines County. This sexy blend was inspired by Benjamin Calais when he showed me a 2011 blend of the same grapes. Also aged in neutral French Oak for 16 months, the Estoy Aqui brings a fruit bomb straight to your mouth. Pairs excellent with smoky bbq and fishing stories.
