We’re celebrating the summer with a one-of-a-kind tasting event! Introducing a Winemaker Omakase, led by our Winemaker Rae Wilson held at the cozy, Euro-style café, Bottega in the Mueller neighborhood in Austin, Texas.
With limited seatings of 10, you’ll get an intimate experience of 8 wine tastings, including some surprise back vintages, and 4 paired bites from our friends at Bottega. Enjoy a unique look behind the scenes with winemaking insights and stories from the harvest season. We’ll offer two seated tasting times, followed by an open happy hour.

Andrew Sides

Co-Founder, COO & Winegrower

A native of the Texas High Plains, ANDREW SIDES’ path in winemaking began while working at the family farm (vineyard) alongside Uncle Andy Timmons during his high school summer breaks. After earning his degree in Civil Engineering from Texas Tech, Andrew took a 9-5 job in San Antonio but couldn’t resist being pulled back toward the passion he’d cultivated for growing and making wine. In 2012, Andrew and Andy partnered with Troy Ottmers, Andrew’s father-in-law, to launch Lost Draw, a winery focused on growing and sharing wines from the Texas High Plains. Since then, the Lost Draw portfolio has expanded to feature wines from several other Texas AVAs and has captured the attention of local and national press along with many adoring fans.
