In its sixth year as a premier attraction at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™, the Rodeo Uncorked! Wine Show attracted wines from across Texas, the United States and throughout the world. The sixth annual International Wine Competition will be held Nov. 15-16, 2008 in Reliant Center, where medals will be awarded by our wine experts. The Champion wines are then presented for tasting and awards at the Roundup and Best Bites Competition on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2009. In 2008, more that 4,000 guests tasted the award-winning wines and sampled signature bites from the participating Houston-area restaurants, caterers, shops and hotels.

The Champion Wine Auction and Dinner will be held March 7, 2009. A reception and the pairing of the champion wines with a special seated dinner began the exciting evening of bidding for the award-winning wines from the competition. The Champion wine lots are unique, with over-sized etched bottles prepared especially for this event.
