Happenings at 4.0 Cellars
4.0 Cellars Wine Club Release – Apr-2019
It is time for another Wine Club Allocation release of delicious 4.0 Cellars wines. Texas springtime weather, as expected, has been weird! We in the Hill Country barely dodged a very damaging cold snap recently that would have damaged a lot of the peach and grape production for 2019.
