Lone Star Wine Cellars – McKinney, Texas
In 1996, Ron and Deanna acquired a ranch along the Red River located within the Texoma AVA (American Viticultural Area). Over the years, the Ross family has transformed the property into one of Texas’ most hidden treasures. This 340-acre ranch is home to an exciting diversity of wildlife with the main attractions being over 300 exotic deer and a winery producing Texas’ finest wines under “The Ranch Wines” label.
The Ross’ opened Lone Star Wine Cellars in 2003 to share “The Ranch Wines” with their friends and neighbors of Historic Downtown McKinney. Today Lone Star Wine Cellars exists to create a friendly environment where guests feel welcome and create memories through lasting friendships.
In 2019, Mr. Ross took his son-in-law, Jon Dunphy, back to the basics of winemaking, and helped Jon make his first batch, a 2019 Merlot. What to them was another night out at the ranch began the next generation of family winemakers.
