We won't spam you or share your information, we'll simply update you from time to time on special events, sales, latest offerings, etc. If you'd like to join one of our wine clubs you can do so from the menu at the top of this page or by clicking on the image of "hands holding grapes" just above here and to the right.

Occasionally we'll have something fun, entertaining and/or informative to place on our site, when that happens this is the place we'll put it. Check back often to see what we've been up to in the "media world".
There are no Events scheduled at this time. Our tasting room is available to book for private gatherings, parties, celebrations, meetings, dinners, etc. Though tasting room space is limited we can (and have) expanded the available footprint to include an adjacent empty space to accommodate larger groups. Please contact us for availability, capabilities and pricing.
My grand-pappy used to tell me "when the best people are available, use 'em". Truthfully, he never said that but it makes a lot of sense! Our production "model" allows us access to the talents and experience of two of the finest winemakers in Texas, Dr. Bob Young of Bending Branch Winery and Bénédicte Rhyne of Kuhlman Cellars (in which we are a minority partner). Dr. Bob and Béné are the "winemakers of record" for our blends and varietals while Barbra and I determine what varietals to offer and advise on blends we create based on industry research, wine history, current consumer taste/expectations and creativity. We strive to offer blends that are unique, traditional and/or one-of-a-kind and finished varietals that hold their own against anyone else in the market.
We source our grapes from a variety of Texas-based vineyards from the Texas Hill Country AVA to the Texas High Plains AVA. Reddy, Newsom, Longhorn, Kuhlman, Desert Willow, Gatewood, Froese, Lahey and Old Sundown Ranch are among the providers we buy from. We often partner with larger wineries in our purchasing in order to enhance efficiency and choice while minimizing our costs.
