Youthful Reserve Wins Bronze at the 2026 Houston Rodeo Uncorked! International Wine Competition
The 2026 Houston Rodeo Uncorked! International Wine Competition has officially crowned its winners, and Youthful Reserve Dry Blueberry Wine proudly brought home a Bronze Medal in this respected international competition. With more than 3,500 entries submitted from around the world, this award marks a major milestone for our uniquely different wine crafted right here in Texas.
Why This Award Matters
The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo™ hosts one of the largest and most influential wine competitions in the United States. A medal from this event is recognition of craftsmanship, flavor, balance, and overall quality.
For Youthful Reserve, this award validates something we believed from the beginning: a genuinely dry wine doesn't have to start with grapes.
Made from Texas blueberries, Youthful Reserve offers wine drinkers something completely different while maintaining the character and sophistication expected from a premium dry red wine.
A Win for a Different Kind of Wine
Today's wine drinkers are increasingly interested in knowing what goes into their glass. Youthful Reserve stands apart with a simple and transparent approach:
Made from real Texas blueberries
Dry, not sweet
Low in calories
No added sugar
No artificial colors or dyes
Independently laboratory tested
This Bronze Medal demonstrates that a wine made from blueberries can stand alongside traditional grape wines - and win.
What Makes Youthful Reserve Blueberry Wine Unique
Our wine begins with whole, Texas-grown blueberries fermented using traditional red-wine techniques. The result is a beautifully dry, deep-red wine with the character of a premium dry red while delivering an entirely different fruit profile.
It isn't blueberry-flavored grape wine.
It's wine made from blueberries.
Celebrating a Texas-Made Success Story
Winning at the Houston Rodeo isn't just an award; it's a celebration of Texas craftsmanship and innovation.
Youthful Reserve is produced with pride, precision, and a commitment to creating something genuinely different for today's wine drinker - without sacrificing flavor, elegance, or the experience of enjoying a great glass of wine.
