Booker Wines is a story born in the late 1920’s on Paso’s Westside. The original owners of the property, the Booker brothers, were the area’s biggest philanthropists – and great farmers – and donated 100% of the estate to charity. Booker Wines owner/winemaker, Eric Jensen, keeps with the promise of great farming and now, winemaking, and we are excited for this premium pairing of Paso wine from Bookers Wines with Chef Eric McElroy’s culinary at Solomon’s at Tetherow!
