One of our very first employees and a forever member of the Feges BBQ family, Katie Jablonski now makes wine alongside Ricky Taylor for Alta Marfa, so of course, we're bringing them in for a tasting.

Katie and Ricky will join us at our Spring Branch location to taste through and talk about their 2020 wines:
