Mustang 1492 - Rebecca Greenan

In Episode 24 of Counsel Brew, we’re uncorking an extraordinary story—one that blends legal brilliance, mentorship, and a touch of vineyard magic. Meet Rebecca Greenan, an attorney turned vintner, whose journey has taken her from shaping legal minds to cultivating grapevines at Las Huertas de Tejas, a vineyard that honors her Spanish and Irish roots.Rebecca has spent years mentoring law students and young attorneys, bringing warmth, wisdom, and a legendary smile to every room she enters. As an Director at SMU and assistant dean at UNT, she made law school feel less like an episode of Suits and more like a place where students could thrive. But now? She’s swapped legal briefs for wine barrels and built a modern hacienda-style retreat where hospitality flows as freely as the wine.In this episode, we chat about:🍷 Rebecca’s journey from legal education to vineyard ownership☕ Her love for black coffee, iced tea, and the fine art of the French press🏡 The story behind her modern hacienda-style retreat 🛫 Why we’re already planning a trip (and designing matching “Oh, La LAW” shirts)Growing up with a rock hound for a father, Rebecca learned to see the beauty hidden beneath the surface—whether in nature, history, or people. From leading law students into public service to navigating the social movements of the 1960s, her story is one of resilience, passion, and reinvention.And let’s talk about this vineyard! She and her husband planted 4,400 vines, partnered with a Texas Hill Country winemaker, and even took a deep dive into Spain’s La Rioja region for research (because what’s a vineyard without a little wine-fueled homework?). With pecan trees, a nod to her childhood, and a vineyard logo featuring an Irish triskelion, Las Huertas de Tejas is a labor of love, heritage, and adventure.So grab your favorite brew—be it coffee, tea, or a full-bodied red—and join us for a conversation as rich as a well-aged Cabernet. 🍷👉 Listen now:Find Rebecca at: linkedin.com/in/rebecca-greenan-40972410Message us at [email protected]  Visit us at http://www.counselbrew.com And Follow follow us @[email protected]  https://www.linkedin.com/company/counsel-brew/Counsel Brew | Dallas TX | FacebookSend us Fan Mail Explicit Rating is for the occasional use of colorful language.
