“My family roots are in South and East Texas. My granddaddy, Harold “Bill” Chaney, was a roughneck and I grew up hearing stories of “Scissor Bill” working the Texas oil fields in the 1930’s and 1940’s. I am honored to make these wines to celebrate the great history of Lamar University and the Great State of Texas!”
