The Pipe Creek community welcomed in a new business on July 9, when the Cibolo Creek Vineyard held their grand opening. The new wine bar hosted a large crowd with regional and world class wines, appetizers, and exclusive entertainment.
Inconspicuously tucked next to the Shell gas station on Hwy 16 just west of 1283, one could easily miss this hidden gem named Cibolo Creek. Their Saturday gala was abuzz with a cheerful crowd that packed the house to over seat capacity while the buttery sound of a sax filled the room with old school tunes by Johnny Burke, a.k.a, “Johnny Smooth Saxx”, a solo saxophonist and singing entertainer from San Antonio. Food pairings of Charcuterie boards and plates, flatbread pizza varieties, and kabobs were served steadily throughout the event.
Owner and Managing Partner Angelica Albanese-Wilson along with partner Scott Stanton accommodated and served the multitude of guests that gathered at the event.
According to Wilson, she took on the opportunity to purchase the property and transform it into a unique and classy wine bar, recruiting Stanton as her partner.
The wine bar offers over 30 wines from different regions around the world.
Cibolo Creek Vineyards was founded in Bulverde by Angelica Albanese and husband, Robert Wilson. They are avid wine lovers and enjoy traveling to wine regions to discover new wines. The Bulverde property’s design is inspired by Napa California wineries and the Alpacas. They carry over 100 different wines from around the world and have created a safe, relaxing, and upscale venue that has a large following and hosts all types of events.
Wilson commented, “The grand opening was a huge success and we felt welcomed by the community. We met lots of locals and we are here to stay. We look forward to growing and becoming the spot for locals and beyond to hang out and enjoy a great glass of wine, food and live music. We welcome everyone. Come meet us at our happy place!”
As a reminder of their motto, a placard on their wall welcomes all to Our Happy Place.
