About the wine
You'll want more more MOUR of this Texas red!

- This brand-new easy-drinking red is going to fly out the door. Rachis wines have a HUGE following... and everyone's gonna want to grab the first bottle!
Best before
Generally speaking I make wines with the goal of being ready to drink when released, but very much able to hold up to extended aging. This wine is no different. It is ready to drink now and should age well for 10+ years.
Serving advice
I think all red wines should be opened ahead of time and served with a slight chill.
Food match
Warm olives, fried pickles, BBQ sandwich, chicken thighs, French onion soup, and I could go on. This wine will go with so many different types of foods.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Randy Hester
Years Angel-funded: 2016-17
- When the Napa Earthquake struck Randy's barrel storage, he lost an unimaginable amount of wine. Angels rallied around this talented young winemaker and gave him the money he needed to make it to the next vintage and he is eternally grateful for your support!
- Randy spent years behind the curtain producing wine at some of the most enigmatic cult wineries in California that have people waiting in line for years to spend $100+ a bottle. Now he runs his own successful wine company, Lightning Wines, and splits his time between CA and his home state of Texas.
- He learned from legends of the wine world that the secret to producing great wines has much more to do with finding great fruit that can speak for itself than it does with the marketing hype.
