When I opened the container (we'll see for yourself) I'm not sure if it was catfish, what ever it is it was half raw.

Rodeo Uncorked! has an array of wine events during rodeo season. They host a wine auction and an…read moreinternational wine competition. They also operate the wine garden during the rodeo. Additionally they offer wine tasting/wine pairing seminars leading up to the rodeo. One of their popular events is the Rodeo Uncorked! Roundup & Best Bites Competition (RUBB). I attended the 2025 RUBB and it was a lot of fun! Tickets: You can purchase GA tickets or table tickets (reserved and premium). Table tickets are sold by wine committee members. My ticket for a seat at a reserved table was $200. It's pricey, but the proceeds go towards scholarships. The biggest benefit to having a table ticket is the early entry. We were able to enter the event 30 minutes before GA ticket holders. We didn't use the table as much as I thought we would, but it was nice to have a place to sit and leave jackets as we were on our feet for a few hours. Our table was in a quiet area. Attire: They encouraged rodeo/western wear or wine country chic, but there's not a strict dress code. Some people were dressed down while others were dressed up. The one thing I would advise is to wear comfortable shoes. Location: NRG Center in halls D and E. Parking: Self parking and valet were both free! There was also a designated area for ride share drop off. There were volunteers in golf carts who were available for rides to and from the parking lot. Food and Wine: There were 100 food vendors and 450 wines. All throughout the event, they kept telling us to pace ourselves. There were vendors from Raising Cain's to higher end restaurants like Patton's. I left my brochure at the event, so I can't recall who all was there but it was awesome. There's so much food and wine and there's no limit on how much you can eat and drink. The media judges had an area where they sampled food for the competition. Attendees received five tokens that were used to cast votes for the People's Choice Award. I got carried away with sampling everything and only used one of my five tokens. I don't know who won any of the awards because I was in my own little world eating and drinking my way through the event. One of my favorite samples was a hotdog from Padres Wine Bar. They found a way to elevate a hotdog and I almost went back for a second helping. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to vote for them (unbeknownst to me, voting ended at 8 pm). I also enjoyed the JCB Brut which can be purchased at H-E-B! I've already added it to my grocery list. I appreciated the bottled water tables spread throughout the event hall. It's easy to get distracted with all of the food and wine, but don't forget to hydrate! Those small wine pours start to add up after awhile. Misc: The event is always held on a Sunday night. My cousin advised me to take the day after off and I didn't listen to her. I will be putting in a PTO request now for next year's event so that I can have a day to recover.

WOW, this event takes the cake! As a pre-rodeo event, this one is always highly anticipated…read more Tickets sold out before I committed to getting one in 2024 but not this year! I purchased bright and early and I was so glad! Desire the $165 price tag for the best bites and roundup components so worth it. You get unlimited food and bites, coupons for free food/drinks at some participating venues, and swag! The crowd is lively, the vendors are excited and the food and wine are delicious! My friend and I loved our time there. There were some long lines here and there but gave you time to digest your last bite. The fact that we get to vote for best bites adds to the fun! You get to keep your wine glass as a souvenir. I'll be back!

There was no line when we got there so we ordered right away. The team was so polite, patient and super kind. The food was also reasonable priced. I got the fried salmon bites (8 for $12) and a plate of fried rice ($13). They also threw in free spring rolls for us. The food was so delicious and worth the wait, which was about 20 mins. They are definitely a must if you want some soulful Hibachi. Support a Black owned, woman owned business this month and all the time.
