Wine For the People is an invitation to experience a wine journey without pretense. It’s about connecting with the community that surrounds every step of the process. We’re passionate about bringing people together over a shared love of good wine. From grape to glass, we invite you to our table to experience the journey.

Wine For the People produces traditional wines in a new frontier from grape to glass. Founded by Winemaker Rae Wilson, one of the few female winemakers in Texas, the brand is rooted in sustainable farming, minimal-intervention winemaking, and a deep exploration of true Texas terroir.

Rae founded Wine For the People in 2010, released the first vintage of Dandy Rosé in 2014, and expanded with La Valentía wines in 2019. Across all of her brands, Rae remains committed to sustainable farming and minimal-intervention winemaking. Each new vintage is an exploration of true Texas terroir.

People often feel overwhelmed or intimidated by wine. Making wine more accessible in any setting is really important to me. Winemaking is a fascinating process, one I find endlessly interesting. We can talk about the details of origin, history, and climate, but enjoying wine can also be as simple as ‘Do you like it? Great!’. You don’t have to study it or know a secret language to have a full experience.”

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.
