An Atascosa County winery has been working for more than a year to create an eclipse-themed wine.
Owner Donovan Garcia spent over a year crafting a peach and blackberry-flavored wine, which has a sunset-colored hue.– Poteet is known as the strawberry capital of Texas, but the sweetest fruit in town is being labored and reaped at the BlackBird Winery.
Owner Donovan Garcia spent over a year crafting a peach and blackberry-flavored wine, which has a sunset-colored hue.“Why make an eclipse-themed wine?” asked reporter Daniela Ibarra. “I’m in love with celestial-type events,” responded Garcia. “I’m the guy that goes out when they say that there’s going to be a meteor shower at 2:00 in the morning. I will be out there at 1:45 waiting.”, Garcia will be in Del Rio along with thousands of others waiting for totality.
“I will be selling my heart out up until one minute before, and then my intentions are to do nothing but enjoy the eclipse,” said Garcia. “I have no intentions of doing anything for anybody at that given moment, for the next 3.5 minutes. That is what I’ve lived my life for the last, the last year or so.”At the right angle, the bottle’s label reveals its own version of an eclipse.
“It’s nothing more than a fluke,” said Garcia. “So originally, we wanted the label to have a hole right through the center so you could actually see what color the label was.”“As of right now, they’re on backorder,” said Garcia.“God willing, I’ll still be here to see the next one,” he said. “But if I’m not. I got to see this one.”Copyright 2024 by KSAT - All rights reserved.Daniela Ibarra joined the KSAT News team in July 2023.
