Tasting Notes: Dave Reilly’s Unlabeled Hill Country Blend
Posted on August 20, 2012
Waaaaaaaay back in March, Julie and I were able to attend the first Duchman Winemaker Dinner. At the end of the meal Dave poured from unlabeled bottles and told us the story of his “Hill Country Blend”. Totally experimental blend of grapes from the Hill Country – and I have no idea what the blend is. Read More
Wild Hair Road Trip to Alamosa Cellars
Posted on August 20, 2012
In my post about Haak Winery, I mentioned picking up some wine for Jim Johnson (@AlamosaWineGuy) at Alamosa Cellars (@alamosawine). Wanderlust was getting the better of me this week, so I messaged Jim and Karen to see if they were going to be hanging around and ready to get their wine. Read More

Duchman Family Winery- Introducing the 2011 Edition White
Posted on August 20, 2012
We almost didn’t go to the Houston release party for the Duchman Family WInery 2011 White Wines. I sidetracked our departure from home with a quick duckling-rescue-op, much to the surprise and delight of my favorite crazy duck lady; and when we had the ducklings and their momma out of harm’s way it looked like we would be too late to participate. Nevertheless, we decided to get to Memorial Wine Cellar as quickly as Wanda and the law would allow and take our chances. Read More

Posted on August 20, 2012
We had a choice of destinations today: We received our invitation to the Messina Hof VIP Reception and notice that William Chris Vineyards would be doing a short Grape Vine Planting gathering including a shoot to take home and get us hooked on grape growing – or give us a minute taste of the grape-grower’s pain.

Willam Chris Vineyards- Experiencing “Hye Society”
Posted on August 20, 2012
I blogged just a little about our Sunday trip to William Chris Vineyards for the Malbec release party and Planting show-and-tell. We really went for the “plantlings” that we were going to get since we’re not pleased with the selection at Home Depot. Not that it matters much because I’m quite confident in my ability to torture a plant from a commercial grower as much as a retail nursery. Read More
