What People Are Saying

Amazing out-of-the-way wine tasting experience. We met the owner and she was awesome… Her story is very inspiring.

— ROBERT M.

My wife and I recently visited Wine For The People…They certainly did not disappoint! We had the Rose of Cinsault and the Dolcetto – as well as Syrah from the High Plains – all excellent wines!….We ordered the charcuterie board which was overflowing with fresh baked bread, dried fruits, tasty meats and savory cheeses – well worth the cost.

— MICHAEL CAREW

Rae and Anne are not only gracious hosts, but they are making outstanding wines! What they are doing with Texas grapes is phenomenal!

— CAREY DIETERT

Incredible selection of both whites and reds. They’ve been perfecting the craft since 2014, and it shows. One of my new favorite 100% Texas wineries.

— CHRIS FITZSIMMONS

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.
