Jim Evans – Winemaker at Lost Oak Winery

Jim Evans is a pioneer in the Texas wine industry with 40 years of winemaking experience. After graduating from Texas A&M in 1984, he joined the University of Texas’ Experimental Viticulture and Enology program. In 1996, he began making wine for Lone Oak Vineyards. Lone Oak Vineyards would eventually become Lost Oak Winery and Jim has continued making wine there ever since. His wines have won countless awards over the years, including five Double Golds medals. TWGGA (Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association) awarded him the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011 and the Louis F. Qualia award for Outstanding Contributions to the Texas Wine Industry in 2017. He served as President of TWGGA in 2014. Jim claims that wine is made in the vineyard and a winemaker should just guide the process and not interfere too much. We should let the wine be an expression of the grape.
