Don't you mean Ste-Geneviève? The wines I tried were unremarkable.

Here is what I once posted about the wines tasted on one of my Texas
visits some years ago:

There are some very nice wines in Texas, surprisingly enough and
we tasted (and drank) quite a few. Llano Estacado have an impressive
range. Their Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, the Signature red and the
Passionelle blend are very good. Sister Creek, Fall Creek, and Cap Rock
all produce very good wines. Bell Mountain make a reasonable rendition
of German Riesling. Escondido and Ste-Geneviève wines are forgettable,
though. The wines are generally very good value, with Llano Estacado
Passionelle costing less than $5.
