WHEREAS, 4R Ranch Vineyards and Winery in Muenster has
distinguished itself by winning the Specialty Sweepstake medal in
the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition; and
WHEREAS, The winery received this prestigious accolade for
its 2017 Nectar Nero; after securing the Double Gold medal in the
White Dessert/Late Harvest category, the wine beat out Double Gold
victors from the other 10 dessert and specialty wine categories,
including ports, sangrias, and fruit wines, to earn the Specialty
Sweepstake medal; it is reportedly the first Texas wine to win first
place in any of the six main categories at the San Francisco
Chronicle Wine Competition; and

medal for its 2016 Ranch Red and bronze medals for its 2016 No. 4,
2016 SCS Reserve, 2016 Tempranillo/Malbec, and 2016 Zinfandel
Reserve; the attainment of these awards is a credit to the skill and
dedication of 4R Ranch winemaker Willem Johnson; and
WHEREAS, With its fine showing in the San Francisco Chronicle
Wine Competition, 4R Ranch has brought great credit to the Texas
wine industry, and it is indeed deserving of recognition for this
outstanding achievement; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate 4R Ranch Vineyards and Winery on
its outstanding performance in the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle
Wine Competition and extend to all those associated with the winery
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
