Huston Vineyards: Vandal Release Party

JOIN US AT HUSTON VINEYARDS FROM 12 – 5 P.M. ON SATURDAY, MAY 31, FOR AN EXCLUSIVE WINE-TASTING EXPERIENCE.

We’ll be treated to Huston’s newly released Vandal wines, including the Silver & Gold White, Tried & True Rosé, as well as the Brave & Bold Red, which will be a select barrel tasting experience. This event offers a unique opportunity to savor limited production wines, enjoy the company of fellow alumni and show support for a Vandal-owned winery.

Purchase your ticket to enjoy tastings of all three wines, take home a commemorative wine glass and enjoy a live performance from musician Spencer Batt ’07, ’14. Food trucks will be onsite to compliment the pairings with tasty local eats.

Are you new to the wine world? Don’t let that stop you from attending this event! Huston Vineyards Production Manager and College of Agricultural and Life Sciences grad, Jacob Alger ’22, will be doing a unique barrel tasting for the Brave & Bold Red. Jacob is excited to teach us about the barrel aging process while we experience the fruits of his expertise first-hand.
