Andrew Sides grew up in the vineyards, so it was only fitting that he followed his passion and opened a winery staying true to his love for Texas grown grapes.  Lost Draw Cellars opened their doors in 2014 and since then it's been full steam ahead.  When they say "Texas Grown" they aren't messing around, as you'll only find wines made from grapes grown right here in the Lone Star State.  Be sure to check out their tasting room in Fredericksburg!

Catelyn & Melissa join us for this week's episode as we discuss their idea that will hopefully spread the message that simply giving one hour of your time to walk a shelter dog could made a HUGE difference.  They are seeking out animal shelters around the country that don't require any training or long term commitment from those that want to volunteer.  Find a shelter, spend an hour giving a dog some exercise, and increase the chances of that dog getting adopted.  It's that simple!
