"I noted that Wine for the People, a Texas winery, co-hosted events at Spread & Co.'s 38th Street cafe from 2022 through 2023." - Nadia Chaudhury
"After closing its Austin tasting room in 2023, Wine for the People is operating in Fredericksburg in partnership with William Chris Wine Company; winemaker Rae Wilson will lead an International Women’s Day roundtable at that Fredericksburg location on March 8 featuring a conversation with other local women winemakers, bites, and a glass of the brand’s 2022 Dandy Rosé, and Dandy Rosé will have its Austin release at a separate party on March 10." - Courtney E. Smith
"The relocated Texas winery tasting room is doing it up for the eclipse. There will be free glasses, a live DJ, and access to glasses/bottles/picnic lunches." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Texas winery closed its shared Spread & Co. tasting room in late November but is opening a Fredericksburg tasting room next year and plans a to-be-determined Austin location later." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Started in 2010 with the goal of using Texas grapes, I note that Rae Wilson — founder, owner, and winemaker — produced the winery's first bottle, Dandy Rosé, in 2014. Their tasting room within Rosedale restaurant Spread & Co. in Austin is closing, with the last day of service on Sunday, November 26, and Wilson says she will look for a permanent Austin location in 2024 while hosting monthly pop-ups in the city. The brand has partnered with William Chris Vineyards (Wine for the People had been producing wines out of William Chris's Hye facility for the past couple of vintages), and William Chris is now investing to help the winery grow and support Wilson's expansion plans. Wilson previously shared a tasting room with C.L. Butaud Wines (November 2020–November 2022) before partnering with Spread & Co., and opening a permanent tasting room of her own has long been a stated dream she first tried to fund via a 2019 Kickstarter that was interrupted by the pandemic." - Nadia Chaudhury
