Two Texas wineries will be featured at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League’s annual Savor the Symphony. The fundraiser will be held as a hybrid event – ticket holders can enjoy the event in person at the Ritz-Carlton or they can opt to have their three-course dinner delivered to their home with the event program streamed directly to them.
For those attending in person, Savor the Symphony will be an elegant evening with a three-course dinner and silent auction held at the Ritz-Carlton, Dallas, on Thursday, April 29. The evening will begin with a champagne reception and silent auction followed by a seated dinner and program at 7:15 p.m.
The Honorary Chair is Roberta Corbett, a longtime supporter of the DSO and the Dallas community. Sharon Ballew is the event chair and Anne Ligon is the DSOL President.
The program for the evening will feature two Texas wineries, each owned by past chairs of Savor the Symphony: Rose Mary Gatlin from Inwood Estates Winery and Nan Michelle Anderson of Triple N Ranch Winery.
Rose Mary Gatlin and her husband Dan are owners of Inwood Estates Winery with locations in Dallas and Fredericksburg. Rose Mary co-chaired Savor in 2000 and was a long-time member of the League, serving as President in 2008-2009. Inwood Estates specializes in making superior quality fine wines from attentively farmed Texas grapes. They have been named one of the top one hundred wineries in America for three years in a row.

Nan Michelle Anderson was chairman of Savor in 2017 and recently opened Triple N Ranch Winery this past summer. The Triple N brand is named for Nan Creel, the matriarch of the Ranch and Winery Family, her daughter, Nan Michelle, and her granddaughter, Nan Christina. The senior Nan started raising purebred Texas Longhorns in the ’80’s at her Henderson County ranch. In 2020, Nan Michelle opened the Triple N Ranch Winery, specializing in high quality Texas wines. They are excited to offer a multi-generational Texas-women owned winery showcasing the best Texas grown grapes and wines. The winery is located in the beautiful East Texas Cedar Creek Lake area in Trinidad, Texas, serving hand-crafted wines with good food in moderation.
