[Jason Hisaw @JRHisaw]

@mcphersoncellar @keepercoll Outstanding. Thank you very much. I used your Les Copain white on the @BestBarbecue podcast paired with @TerryBlacksBBQ this week. It showed beautifully and was one of the stars of the line up! #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@keepercoll Do abt 15K cases of our wines abt 8 #wines mainstream N mkt, do 8-9K cases 4 other ppl, & we do TX wines, @LocationsWine which is abt 3500 cases and a good outlet for #TX wines - this is what we need > of if we R going 2 grow industry #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

I think we make #wines that R old world in style and varietally correct and drinkable and price appropriate #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@keepercoll He 1st planted #Sangiovese and we could not give it away and then we would blind taste it and they said this is a great #Italian #wine - it took yrs to dev as a mainstream #Tx #grape and now we sell 12-1300 cases per year and sell out every yr. #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@JRHisaw @keepercoll I have some buddies who are doing that, but I have opted out b/c I am old school. I think there is a place for this if done right, but I will not. I use aluminum screw caps - which is the closest I get! #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@winejames @TEXSOM @JDewps Knew #Tx #wine program @texsom would sell out quickly - Congrats #SommChat

[KeeperCollection @keepercoll]

.@mcphersoncellar It was just recently unveiled that @TEXSOM will be hosting a seminar on #TX #Wines with #winewriter @JDewps , What can an attendee be expecting at this seminar? Can you say if any of your #wines will be featured? #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@keepercoll @WineEnthusiast We have 3-4 #wines on the list and Congrats to Cabernet Grill for making @WineEnthusiast and appreciate their support of our #viognier - it is a big hit on the list #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@ryan_sorrell @winejames I think you could NV reds but not whites. #highplains #winemakers are successfully using birdnetting which doubles as hail protection. 1 of my rower that does Rousanne for ex put on @YouTube the success he had with this process #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@keepercoll @TEXSOM @JDewps I do not know what @JDewps has planned for the seminar or if my #wines will be included but I know that it will be sold out if not already #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@JRHisaw @keepercoll We produce one rose that we have increased from 200 cases to 1100 case this year - rose has gone thru the roof and this is gr8 4 us, prob 5% of production now and will grow #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@SandyWasserman I would like to make #wine in Southern #france or #rioja in #Spain #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@keepercoll @texsomiwa I enter my #wines so that I can make sure we R doing right thing N our #winemaking process - 4 ex, I entered my 2nd vintage of Piquepoul Blanc and in the San Fran Int’s Comp it was the best white out of 1900 white wine - what it told me was we can make this grape #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@keepercoll @texsomiwa I feel @texsomiwa is the toughest #wine Competition in the #US and it is so well organized. This is a big deal and wineries should submit their #wines - @winejames and @drewhendricksms have raised the bar to the top …. #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@JRHisaw @keepercoll @BestBarbecue @TerryBlacksBBQ Thank you soooo much. #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@winejames @ryan_sorrell @RiberaRuedaWine We love all of the many successful white #wine grapes we have like #vermintino #rousanne and many more #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]

@i_on_food_drink @keepercoll Currently we are not in the State of #Washington for our wines but you can access purchasing on our website and have shipped to #Seattle. #SommChat

[McPherson Cellars @mcphersoncellar]
