Singing Waters Vineyards in Comfort, Texas, is a small but very successful local winery that has racked up some prestigious awards recently. Co-owner Missy Ivankovich, and wine maker Pat Johnson teamed up to talk to our Rotary club about their business.

 

 

 

Missy and her husband Andy were in the software business in San Antonio, and were ready for a change in 2018. They sold their business and wanted to move to the hill country for a simpler lifestyle to raise their four kids. While looking for property, they stumbled across 126 acres for sale that had a winery on it. They decided to buy it, move there, and try to improve on the wine produced. They had no experience in wine making other than enjoying an occassional glass.

 

They found Pat Johnson, an accomplished wine maker, who agreed to join them, and together they began work on making their new venture successful. They won several awards along the way as they developed their wines, and they were recently rewarded with a best in class award for their cabernet sauvignon ($90.00- $99.99) from the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition (2025).

 

Missy and Pat generously donated a bottle of their best in class cabernet for our weekly wine give away. Leslie Rambin was wearing her pin when her name was called, and won the wine. She then asked Jeff Talarico to auction it off to our club, and Amber Thomason provided the winning bid of $500.00 that benefitted our club.
