Open your senses and say “yes” to three of life’s biggest passions, Wine Education, Culinary Excellence and Luxury Experiences! Our quest at the Foley Food + Wine Society is to provide a lifestyle brand that connects like-minded individuals who seek to enjoy the finer things in life.

As a valued member of the Clubs at Cordillera Ranch, you receive a complimentary membership to the Foley Food + Wine Society, one of our preferred partners.

Learn It • Taste It • Live It

Learn It:

Let the FFWS Wine Professor & Sommelier show you how. Ever wonder what the subtle differences are in the bottle shape of your favorite wine, or which glass shape best suits serving a pinot gris and why? Meet The Wine Professor Stuart Ake and The Sommelier Ericka Briscoe. They are here to solve these mysteries and more. Follow their thirst for knowledge and adventures through the vineyards. Members are welcome to submit the wine questions you’ve always been afraid to ask and to check back here regularly for answers and updates. Even in the vineyard, knowledge is power!

Taste It:

Bring the FFWS dining experience into your home. Our FFWS Executive Chefs have worked hard to create a variety of recipes for dishes that Society members will enjoy preparing, made with easily-accessible ingredients. These dishes will pair nicely with our wines to create amazing flavors to be enjoyed by you and your guests. A perfect wine pairing is provided with each recipe to help recreate the FFWS culinary experience in your kitchen.

Live It:

Preferred Builders: Home Tour Highlights

We hosted yet another wonderful Preferred Builders Home Tour in late October, closing out our 2024 bi-annual event held every spring and fall. With more than 350 total attendees, this was one of, if not, our most well-attended tours ever.

Agronomy

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Outdoors

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Staff Profile

Amanda Naranjo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
