Inspired by Growers

Rae Wilson (Wine for the People) and Andrew Sides (Lost Draw Cellars) craft a small collection of wines from exceptional vineyard sites in Texas and the intentional farmers that dare to work in the extreme conditions they've come to embrace. The Grower Project aims to highlight those growers with tenacity - conservation-minded and sustainable in method. To showcase the root of their cause we attempt to bottle the depth of care and labor put forth by the hands at every wines' true source.

The Source

Resolute Farms and Farmers

Every bottle of Grower Project is dedicated to the sustainable growing practices that aim to build a more equitable Texas wine industry. The growers at the root of this cause carefully select specialty vineyard sites and grape varieties that are resilient in our harsh terroir. To harness the vitality of these decisions, our wines are made with minimal intervention techniques from Texas-hardy grapes such as Albariño, Sangiovese and Picpoul Blanc.

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.
