About this listen

TrulySignificant.com presents GO TEXAN podcast featuring Neal Newsom, pioneer in Texas grape growing and winemaking.

Neal's family had grown cotton around Lubbock for over a century, but concerns about water shortages and a desire to diversify led him to explore new crops- ultimately choosing wine grapes.

Neal planted three acres of Cabernet Sauvingnon on very challenging land. The first commercial crop in 1989 brought back about $500 to a winery in Garden City- a humble start that set the course for the business.

Over decades, he and his wife Janice expanded to 150 acreas with 19 varieties including reds and whites like Merlot, Syrah, Tempranillo, Pinot Grigio, Albanino and more.

Neal is well known in the Texas wine community not just growing grapes but also for hosting educational events like Newsom Grape Day to bring growers and winemakers together.
