A Thousand Summers…Local Winery built on Love
By Angelica Ariza
Devine News Intern
A small, family-owned winery in South Texas is gaining recognition after earning multiple awards at a statewide competition just weeks after opening to the public. Mil Veranos Estate Ranch & Vineyard, owned by Virginia Rodriguez Lopez, submitted three wines to the 2026 Austin Rodeo Texas International Wine Competition and all three brought home medals. The winery’s Lily Picpoul Blanc earned a gold medal, while the Cha Cha Rosé received silver and the Medina Red took home bronze.
For Rodriguez Lopez, the winery is more than just a business, it’s a reflection of her family’s story.
“When my husband asked me to marry him, he promised me a thousand summers,” she said. “So Mil Veranos comes from that promise. We’ve been together for decades, we have five children, and Mil Veranos just embodies all of the love in our family.”
The winery officially opened to the public on Jan. 3, 2026, but the property has long been a gathering place in the community. Before becoming a winery, the location was rented out for weddings and special events. Rodriguez Lopez said transforming the space into a winery felt like a natural next step.
“It was the next logical step, being able to make our wines and see people enjoy them,” she said. “It makes us a part of their happiness, and that’s something you really can’t measure.”
Located along U.S. Highway 90 in D’Hanis, Mil Veranos is currently the only winery operating on that stretch of road between Uvalde and Castroville, making it a unique stop for travelers in South Texas. Visitors can enjoy a variety of experiences, including purchasing wine on site and relaxing with a glass paired with a charcuterie board. The winery is also working to expand its reach through upcoming online sales.
In addition, Mil Veranos offers a wine club designed for regular customers. Members receive their wine at a discounted rate and commit to quarterly allocations, with the option to choose the number of bottles they would like to receive each cycle.
“We’ve put a lot of intention into growing our grapes and making our wines, it’s a passion and a labor of love for me,” Rodriguez Lopez said.
The winery currently produces about 8,000 bottles per year, a strong start for a small operation that recently opened its doors. Mil Veranos welcomes guests of all ages. Children who visit are given juice boxes and can enjoy lawn games while adults sample wines, creating an inclusive atmosphere for families.
For more information about the winery, contact Mil Veranos Estate Ranch & Vineyard by phone at 210-776-8459, or visit them at 861 County Road 411 in D’Hanis.
As Mil Veranos continues to grow, its early success signals a promising future rooted in family, tradition and, as its name suggests, a thousand summers.

City of Devine received glowing financial reports; No property tax increase anticipated
PRESS RELEASE –
CITY OF DEVINE – The recent water-sewer rate increases have yielded better than expected results for the City of Devine resulting in outstanding reports from both the city’s financial advising firm and the city’s annual financial audit.
According to Mark McLiney of long time advising firm to the city, Samco Capital, the water rate study has accomplished its intended purpose ahead of schedule and the water-sewer system is becoming solvent and self-sufficient, and will no longer be a drain on the General Fund.
“What a great year you had. Congratulations!” McLiney said. “The last couple of years, the City has covered Utility Fund Debt with the General Fund and now those funds can be moved back to the General Fund which will give the City the opportunity to borrow for General Fund projects without increasing the tax rate. I would estimate you could borrow between $4,500,000 and $5,000,000 later this summer…again without changing the tax rate.”
McLiney also suggested going forward, the City should program a 2-3% increase annually for water-sewer rates to keep up with inflation and avoid the pitfalls that resulted from 8 years of no increases. Such increases are normally enacted by municipalities for maintenance and operations.
“City staff and the City Council should be proud of these results,” McLiney said.
The City’s annual financial audit report by the firm Armstrong, Vaughan & Associates for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025 presented in March by Carl Goering to the City Council also lauded the City’s performance.
“The audit opinion we gave is ‘unmodified’ which is the best opinion we can give on an audit. My goal as an auditor is to form an audit opinion and determine whether or not the financial statements are free of material misstatement and conform with generally accepted auditing principles,” Goering said.
“The audited numbers tell a story of financial stability directed with ‘great oversight’ by the city administrator,” Goering said.
Highlights of the audit showed the City with a Debt to Asset ratio of 41.5% with total debt of $17.62 million compared to total government wide assets of $42.43 million. This indicates the overall leverage of the government and about two-fifths of the city’s asset base is financed with bonded debt. Ratios below 50% are considered favorable.
The City also reported favorable numbers in the categories of Debt to Equity, Equity Ratio, Net Debt to Assets, Debt Service to Revenues, Interest Burden and Cash to Debt.
The report also stated the overall financial flexibility of the City is stable with the net position increasing during the year and the debt structure shows limited near-term repayment pressure.

Field of Dreams
“Ray, people will come Ray. They’ll come to Iowa for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won’t mind if you look around…you’ll say it’s only $20 per person. They’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they’ll walk out to the bleachers, sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They’ll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they’ll watch the game and it’ll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they’ll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come, Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, it’s a part of our past Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh…people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.” And people do come…
Perhaps the most iconic baseball movie ever made is Field of Dreams (1989). In the movie, the words above were spoken by James Earl Jones’ character writer Terrance Mann. What Terrance predicted has indeed come true. People do come. They come to Iowa to visit Ray’s ball field in the corn. I have been there. And it is wonderful.
Field of Dreams relates the story of Ray Kinsella (played by Kevin Costner), an Iowa farmer who hears a mysterious voice one night coming from his cornfield. The voice keeps saying, “If you build it, he will come.” Ray decides to act. Despite taunts of lunacy, with the support of his wife Annie (played by Amy Madigan), Ray tills under a large part of his cornfield and builds a baseball diamond, believing this is what the voice is telling him to do. Soon after the field is finished, ghosts of great players start emerging from the corn to play ball. First to appear is White Sox star “Shoeless” Joe Jackson.
In the movie, Joe asks Ray, “Is this heaven?”
Ray answers, “No, it’s Iowa.”
For anyone who loves the game, this nostalgic baseball movie is golden. But it’s about more than baseball. It’s about fathers and sons. The deeper story centers on death, regret, and Ray’s strained relationship with his deceased father. Watching this movie makes me ache for my dad. In the end, one of the players that shows up to play is Ray’s father, giving them both the opportunity for needed reconciliation. And they have a game of catch on Ray’s ballfield. You can visit the Field of Dreams today. Recently, I had the opportunity to do just that.
Last October, my wife and I took a road trip, traveling from Texas to Michigan to attend a friend’s wedding. On the way home we detoured through Iowa to visit family, and at the prompting of a dear friend (thank you John Soto!) we decided to include a visit to the Field of Dreams.
The Field of Dreams baseball diamond has become a pop-culture tourist attraction. It was built by Universal Pictures in 1988 for the movie, and is located in a cornfield outside of Dyersville, Iowa (a good name for a town). When the movie production was completed, the field was left behind. Most of the field, along with the farmhouse seen in the movie, was owned by Don and Becky Lansing. Don’s grandparents bought the farm in 1906. The Lansing’s neighbors, the Ameskamp family, owned the adjacent property, covering left and center field. The ball field was built across two properties so that sunset shots in the movie would have a clear line-of-sight.
For several years, both families accepted visitors, even setting up small souvenir stands to accommodate the public.
In 1990, neighboring farmer and friend Keith Rahe, organized a baseball team dubbed the “Ghost Players” to entertain visitors once a month. These games drew thousands of fans to the ball field. In the years since, several celebrity and special MLB games have been played at the field, along with concerts and other events.
In 2007 the property was sold to Go the Distance Baseball, a private partnership committed to preserving the movie site. New events continue to be held at the venue, and the field is open to visitors year-round, sunrise to sunset, weather permitting.
Additional development is in progress nearby with a 24-field youth baseball and softball complex planned. The complex is known as All-Star Ballpark Heaven.
For 150 years baseball has been perhaps the most positive constant in American life. And one small ball field nestled among the cornfields in Iowa can remind us of that…
