Reagan Sivadon

The Essentials Texas wine is the fixed point in Reagan Sivadon’s work: the specialty anchors her path from cellar roles into ownership, and it gives Sandy Road Vineyards in Johnson City its context. As co-owner, Sivadon is part of the decision-making that shapes a vineyard over time, with the work extending beyond today’s bottle to what the site can become in the years ahead. Technical footing in Texas wine came through associate winemaker roles at Spicewood Vineyards and Ron Yates, where Sivadon worked close to the production process.

Those positions sit at the center of her profile because they mark the shift from learning the work to carrying responsibility within it. Associate winemaker is a role that requires collaboration, judgment, and attention to detail, and Sivadon’s time in those posts established the base for her current ownership work. Regional commitment is the clearest thread in Sivadon’s career. Sandy Road Vineyards in Johnson City is the current expression of that focus, but the throughline predates ownership and remains tied to the state’s growing wine landscape.

The progression is straightforward: associate winemaker at Spicewood Vineyards and Ron Yates, then co-owner of Sandy Road Vineyards in Johnson City. For Reagan Sivadon, the path reads as cumulative, with each role building on the last and reinforcing a clear specialty in Texas wine.
