Podcast appearances and mentions of urban winery

This week, Dan Ryan sits down to talk about the INDIEConFab, a conference he attended and emceed earlier this week. He recaps on the two days he spent there and provides insights on what he thought about it (spoiler: he loved it) and summarizes the different segments he got the opportunity to emcee for! Listen to hear about Dan's experience at the INDIEConFab!Takeaways: Mentorship can be both formal and informal but should focus on genuine curiosity and openness.Mentors should be prepared to guide mentees even if it means encouraging them to explore opportunities outside the current organization.Beyond traditional metrics like growth and revenue, success includes the quality of relationships built, the impact made on others, and the experiences created.There is a shift from "outdoor leisure" to "experiential hospitality," indicating a broader scope of creating immersive and engaging customer experiences.Authenticity in development (not "faking the funk") leads to better financial performance and genuine neighborhood integration.Quote of the Show:“I think in all of our careers, it was, growth, revenue, profit, whatever other KPIs you could think of that are these metrics of what makes a business successful. But I think we all came to this really cool realization that it's also about relationships.” - Dan RyanLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedailydanryan/ Website: https://www.ninesixseven.com/ Shout Outs:0:33 - Independent Lodging Congress https://ilcongress.com/event/asheville/1:01 - The Radical Hotel https://www.theradicalavl.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnei0BhB-EiwAA2xuBj5YmupfziyOY6mzGki32JqPJedBpEc4pCtQ_dJ4oGEPJbHABkDHDRoCjUAQAvD_BwE 1:06 - Mike Suomi https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikesuomi/3:02 - Wrong Way River Lodge & Cabins https://www.wrongwaycampground.com/ 4:10 - Plēb Urban Winery https://www.pleburbanwinery.com/ 6:43 - Radical Innovation Tour https://www.radicalinnovation.io/ 7:03 - Briggette Harenda https://www.linkedin.com/in/brigetteharenda/7:08 - Rob Blood https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-blood-13b53452/7:13 - Jennifer Krapp https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferkrapp247/ 8:15 - Greg Smith https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-smith-6093455/8:18 - Ralph Mahana https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralph-mahana-17984517/ 8:34 - Lesly Anderson https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesley-anderson-596794a0/10:00 - Kimberly McGlonn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-mcglonn-ph-d-4798b0134/ 10:15 - Deiter Rams https://www.vitsoe.com/us/about/good-design11:19 - Emily Isenberg https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilyisenbergprojects/11:36 - Shawn Chopra https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-chopra-bb3b19102/11:38 - Carolyn Schneider https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolyn-schneider-7aab928/13:05 - Alexis Lanman https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexis-lanman-b0b39487/ 13:07 - Daniel Del Olmo https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexis-lanman-b0b39487/ 15:32 - Sheena Brittingham https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheena-brittingham-7744a912/15:36 - David Better https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbetter/15:39 - Chris Osaka https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisosaka/15:51 - Laron Turley https://www.linkedin.com/in/laronturley/18:24 - Andrew Benioff https://www.linkedin.com/in/llenrockgroupbenioff/ 18:33 - Meg Gutowski https://www.linkedin.com/in/llenrockgroupbenioff/ 18:34 - Shannon Barnett https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannon-barnett-033977160/Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419Transistor: https://www.defininghospitality.live/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@defininghospitality

In dieser Radioreise nimmt Euch Alexander Tauscher auf eine Tour unter dem Motto "Köln kann kulinarisch". Freut Euch auf einen schmackhaften Rundgang durch die Domstadt. Köln-Guide Jessie von Laufenberg führt uns durch bekannte und weniger bekannte Veedel, also Stadtteile. Längere Zeit verbringen wird dabei auf dem Eigelstein. In dieser dieser in der römischen Epoche angelegten Gasse befinden sich viele typische Kölsche Brauhäuser. Wir besuchen das Brauhaus "Em Kölsche Boor". Hier klärt uns Kult-Köbes Olaf Goebbels auf, was ein Köbes ist und was ihn äußerlich, aber sicher auch im Auftreten von einem Kellner unterscheidet. Auf dem weiteren Rundgang halten wir vor weiteren Brauhäusern, wie der "Schreckenskammer" im Ursulinenviertel. Natürlich führt uns der kulinarische Weg vorbei am weltberühmten Kölner Dom. Dieses über Jahrhunderte gebaute Meisterwerk betrachten wir von einer nicht so überlaufenen Seite und sprechen bei dieser Gelegenheit über das anliegende Museum Ludwig mit Kunstwerken des 20. Jahrhundert. Auch das legendäre "Em Krützche" liegt auf unserem Weg, bis wir den Kölner Hauptmarkt erreichen. Hier müssen wir natürlich über die kulinarischen Aktivitäten von Prinz Poldi sprechen. Denn Lukas Podolski ist nicht nur eng mit dem traditionsreichen 1. FC Köln verbunden, sondern auch mit der kulinarischen Szene der Domstadt. Wir plaudern auf dem Rundgang über Kölner Originale wie Willy Millowitsch und Willy Ostermann. Vor dem Denkmal für den unvergessenen Kölner Komödianten Jupp Schmitz endet der Rundgang mit Jessie. Von hier aus laufen wir ins Sterne-Restaurant "NeoBiota". Der in Chemnitz geborene Erik Scheffler plaudert über seine kulinarische Reise und sein gemeinsames Projekt mit Sonja Baumann, welches bereits mit Sternen gekürt wurde. Ein besonderer Typ ist auch Mats Hilger, den wir in der Kölner Körnerstraße treffen. Der Winzer im zweiten Bildungsweg erzählt uns über die Idee der ersten Urban Winery in einer deutschen Metropole, die heute IMI Winery heißt. Außerdem gibt uns Jürgen Amann, der Geschäftsführer der KölnTourismus GmbH praktische Tipps für den Urlaub in der Domstadt am Rhein. Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Urlaub in Kölle!

Destiny has an amazing resume starting with a 20-year career in the navy from which she retired as a Lieutenant.

When her life changed with a divorce and her daughter graduated and moved on with her own life, she wanted to rediscover who she was and find a new path. She then became a volunteer firefighter for several years where she found herself working alongside true heroes with every shift. Everything she has done has been tied to her core values which has led her to starting the CLE Urban Winery where she gives back to the local community in so many ways. She has also written a book, "My Why and I: A Rebels Guide to a Why-Centered Lifestyle." Wow just Wow. Listen and learn from this unstoppable and amazing woman who is never done putting wonderful things into this world which leads to her tag line, "Drink Wine and Do Good!".

This time Paul and 'Cha get together to sample some Tempranillo and go over some of the robust flavors that emit from it. We also hear from Doug Kingman from Kingman Estate Winery. 10 acres and a barn in the Grand Valley of the Colorado River, near Palisade. Really, it started with a dream and a strong desire to create Colorado Wines that are equal to, or better, than wines from other great wine producing regions throughout the world.The unique climate and soil conditions in the Grand Valley of Colorado yield a grape with outstanding characteristics enabling the production of uniquely exquisite wines. We are proud to be among the wineries in Colorado that serve authentic, handcrafted wines made right here in our facility.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cha-Cha's back again! This time we're trying a well-bodied 2019 Malbec from Vinnie Fera Wineries in Boulder, CO. It's called Hogback, which might sound like an odd name, but it makes sense once you hear founder Tim Moley explain it. Vinnie Fera has been around since 2016, and they say they pick their grapes based on what fits best in the Colorado landscape. They're not forcing anything here- they want to allow the full flavor and potential of their grapes to come through when the wine hits your tongue, and spoiler alert, they definitely succeed with the Hogback. You can check their website out here if you'd like to pick some up for yourself.

Paul is joined by Colorado Music Experience founding director and author, G Brown. G covered popular music at The Denver Post for 26 years, interviewing well over 3200 musicians, including Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, and Kurt Cobain.

ChaCha's back! And we're back to wine tasting. This week, we've got a lovely selection from Carboy, a fast-growing and award-winning winery with four locations across Colorado. We test their 2019 Riesling from Grand Valley, and it's quite the treat. We also get a special audio clip from Tyzok Wharton, Head Winemaker at Carboy, where he walks us through their whole winemaking process. Carboy also has 3 wines in the Governor's Cup this year. If you'd like to learn more about them or pick up some of their wines yourself (which we'd definitely recommend), you can visit their website here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I recently attended a wine tasting event hosted by Blanchard Family Wines in downtown Denver. Four winemakers each presenting one Colorado wine to an enthusiastic and thirsty crowd during Colorado Wine Week. In attendance was Doug Kingman from Kingman Estates Winery, Tim Moly from Vinny Fera Winery in Boulder, Tyzok Wharton from Carboy Winery in Littleton and myself. After the tasting and presentation, we had a panel discussion for the attendees to ask us questions. This is a part of that discussion which will hopefully give you some insight into the world of Colorado wine special. Thank you to James Blanchard for hosting this event and letting us pour our wines in his tasting room.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nationally, October is Italian Heritage Month and since 2019, Colorado Governor Jared Polis has signed a proclamation designating October as Italian Heritage Month in Colorado. The Dante Alighieri Society of Denver drafted the proclamation noting the many different ways in which Italians helped and contributed to the establishment of many industries within the state. My guests are Susan Gurule from The Dante Alighieri Society of Denver and Alisa DiGiacomo from History Colorado.Alisa DiGiacomo is the director of curatorial services and the senior curator at History Colorado. In 2007, she curated the Italians of Denver exhibit at the Colorado History Museum. A fifth-generation Italian American in Colorado, she holds a B.A. in art history and photography from the University of Northern Colorado and an M.A. in art history and museum studies from the University of Denver.We encourage people to explore, document, share and celebrate our Heritage. In case people are not aware, History Colorado has one of the largest Italian American research archives in the nation. Developed in partnership with the Colorado Italian American community (beginning in 2002) it is a rich resource currently in the final stages of processing.

Fate and a combined passion for the wine industry brought two families together to create Continental Divide Winery. Part-time Breckenridge residents Jeffrey and Ana Maltzman owned two successful wineries in California. Ten years ago the Maltzmans, their two daughters and their two Australian Shepherds were walking down Main Street in Breckenridge when they spotted Colorado winemakers and Alma residents Kent Hutchison and Angela Bryan, their two daughters and their two Australian Shepherds walking the other direction. The couples and their girls have been fast friends ever since. The families quickly discovered their mutual passion for the art and science of wine. Today Continental Divide is owned and operated by the Maltzman family with Kent and Angela serving as contributing winemakers producing some of our most acclaimed Colorado reserve wines. By tasting different wines crafted from both California and Colorado grapes, guests can learn and experience the differences that altitude, soil and weather make on wine. They produce all of their wines in a state-of-the-art winemaking facility in Fairplay, making Continental Divide the highest altitude winery in the world. Crafting and aging wines at over 10,000' altitude minimizes oxygen exposure and results in a slower and more gentle fermentation that allows the true flavors of the fruit and land to come through. To further capitalize on our unique alpine location, they use a patented winemaking system to craft many of the wines in a nearly zero oxygen closed-cell environment as well as the use of snow and the extreme temperatures of the alpine environment to control fermentation instead of mechanical and artificial cooling. Continental Divide Winery invites you to come visit our tasting rooms in both Breckenridge and South Park (Fairplay) and experience first-hand our award-winning wines.

Jayme Henderson + Steve Steese of The Storm Cellar Winery join Paul this week to try two more of Colorado's finest wines. The Storm Cellar is a collaborative vision between Steve and Jayme; during their many years in the restaurant industry, whether for business, study, or pleasure, they spent most of their time away from work in wine country, and fell in love with it. Steve and Jayme traveled the world's wine regions in search of their next home and adventure for years, only to finally realize that it was just over four hours west of their former home in Denver, on Colorado's western slope. The Storm Cellar is a project founded upon a love of Colorado, a desire to make great wine in this great state, and a goal of helping to put a relatively unknown, yet up-and-coming region, on the national map.For more info on The Storm Cellar and what Jayme and Steve are up to, visit their website, or follow them on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

This week, ChaCha Chavez (re)joins Denver Wine Radio to try two fantastic Colorado wines.

"The alpine desert climate, along with a compact growing season, at nearly 5,900 feet above sea level, produces grapes of high concentration and vibrant acidity. Silky in texture, the off-dry style of this Riesling is brimming with notes of ripe peach and starfruit, and it pairs perfectly with a multitude of cuisines, especially spicy dishes." - The Storm Cellar Official WebsiteWine Specs:Variety - 100% RieslingClone - 9AVA - West ElksVineyard - Redstone Vineyard, Wind Machine BlockHarvest Dates - September 29 and October 13, 2018Fermentation - temperature-controlled stainless steelAging - stainless steelpH - 3.2TA - 6.55 g/LRS - 30 g/LAlcohol - 12.6%Production - 330 casesTo purchase The Storm Cellar's 2018 Riesling, click here.The second wine of the episode is the BookCliff Vineyards 2016 Ensemble Red.

Doug Caskey will be the first to tell you that he has one of the best government jobs in Colorado. At one point Doug was the store manager at the Boulder Liquor Mart. Now the executive director at Colorado Wine Industry Development Board, Doug shares thoughts about this week's wines, his thoughts on sake being considered a wine, and makes many recommendations on some delicious new drinks to try. If you want to know what's what when it comes to Colorado wines, hangout spots, the technicality of making wine at Colorado wineries, or just where the good grape growing areas are, ask Doug.This week's first wine is the Carlson Vineyards NFSW white wine. People who rave about this wine note its lightly sweet, acidic, fresh and refreshing taste, but you'll have to listen to what Doug and Paul have to say for a metaphorical taste of this wine, since it's currently sold out.This week's second wine is another red table wine from Whitewater Hill Vineyards, the 2018 St. Vincent. As described by Whitewater Hill Vineyards, 'This wine boasts red currant and raspberry notes on the nose, with delicate flavors of cranberry and apple on the palate. This wine has a subtle aftertaste of pecans and walnuts.' This wine was recognized by both the Colorado Governor's Cup and International Eastern Wine Competition (East Meets West) in 2021.

Winemaker Jane Cooper has just opened the first urban winery in the Wairarapa town of Greytown. Alexia Wines purpose built winery has been three years in the planning and building and was finished just before the country went into lockdown level 4 and as the grapes from vineyards in the region started coming off the vines. With wife Lesley Reidy and their two children, they worked all hours of the day and night to get the vintage done. They've now just opened the winery to the public for the first time, for tastings and sales over Friday, Saturdays and Sundays this summer.

Elise grew up in Newcastle and moved away in 1999 to study Chemistry at Oxford. She then worked in London a big four accountancy firm in corporate finance (where she met her husband Nick, who is from Gosport in Hampshire) whilst there she did a couple of wine related qualifications at the WSET but was always drawn to winemaking (and its chemistry!). After their first son Max was born, she quit her job and studied a PGDip at Plumpton College, afterwards she worked as the assistant winemaker in their commercial winery.   They moved the family back up to Gateshead in 2017 (to be near family) and set up Laneberg Wine whilst pregnant with their second son Reuben.    Laneberg Wine is the UK’s most Northerly commercial winery, and has so far produced two vintages, from grapes sourced exclusively from English vineyards.   Ian & Elise discuss; Studying Chemistry at Oxford Where her interest in wine came from How she discovered she could pursue wine-making as a career Careers that come from wine tasting Making use of her degree from working in Finance Starting to create the winery Aspects of growing grapes Process of creating the wine Why do we get hangovers?

It was scheduled to take place along the historic Main Street in Grapevine September 17-20th. 45 Texas wineries would have been on hand for the festival that attracts more than 260,000 visitors. You can just imagine the economic impact that this cancellation has on the businesses that usually participate.Although I just live about 20 miles away to Grapevine, I go wine tasting in the Texas Hill Country more frequently than I go to Grapevine. I suspect I’m not the only one.I thought the cancellation of GrapeFest was a good reason to take a fresh look the Texas wine culture in Grapevine. After all, Grapevine’s Convention and Visitors Bureau says Grapevine has been a hub for wineries and wine culture for 25 years.I found some bright spots that I’m excited to share with you. And I’ve got a feeling Grapevine might be a place to watch in the years to come.Although its population is only 54,000 residents, Grapevine lives like a bigger city. Grapevine’s proximity to DFW airport, 21 hotels and 11,000 hotels rooms makes Grapevine a popular spot for conventions. Tourism is huge here. There are plenty of activities for families including Nash Farm, SEA LIFE Grapevine, and Great Wolf Lodge.There’s a lot of development on the horizon for Grapevine. This summer, a huge public-private partnership will be completed downtown. It includes a commuter rail line that will connect to DFW airport and downtown Fort Worth. On September 3, the Hotel Vin will open its doors. That’s a 120-bed boutique hotel that’s part of the Marriott family. It will brings with it new dining options including a signature fine dining restaurant and a food hall that features 7 kitchens and 2 bars.Hotel VinSo big things are happening in Grapevine, but where does the Texas wine fit in? Do they even grow grapes in Grapevine? Surely with a name like Grapevine, there’s wine to be had! Well indeed there is!The town got its name from the wild mustang grapes that grew rampant in the area. Now the main vineyard of note is the 10-acre vineyard owned by Delaney Vineyards. It was planted in 1993 to Cynthiana grapes, otherwise known as Norton, the hybrid variety that’s the cornerstone of the Missouri wine industry. I visited last week, and I’ll tell you more about that shortly.Did you know that Grapevine is the home of the Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association?“The city of Grapevine and the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau have always been extremely supportive of the Texas wine industry AND the Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association.There are several times throughout the year in which they fundraise for us and support the industry with non-monetary resources.Grapefest is the largest purchaser and reseller of Texas wine! There are some synergies that occur because our office is in the same market as that event.” - TWGGA Executive Director Dacota HaselwoodTexas Wine & Grape Growers AssociationWhile you're on the TWGGA website, submit your wines for entry in the Lone Star International Wine Competition. It will take place in late October in Grapevine.Today I’m going to give you a couple of your best bests for visiting Grapevine. Attending a festival may be what has brought you to Grapevine before, but Grapevine also has winery tasting rooms, restaurants with Texas wines on the lists, and a wine shop a solid Texas wine selection. I’ll touch on your best bests in each of these categories and comment on where Grapevine gets it right and how Grapevine can improve to convert even more Texas wine lovers.Grapevine is all about wine festivals. GrapeFest is the largest, but it’s just one of many. In fact, there’s another big wine festival coming up in October. It is currently still on the calendar. It’s the 28th annual New Vintage Wine & Gallery Trail & Blessing of the Vines. It was originally in April and has been pushed back.Find out more here: New Vintage Wine & Gallery TrailTasting Rooms:FACT: The first winery tasting room to open up in Grapevine was La Buena Vida Vineyards in 1995. Delaney Vineyards followed in 1996.Once you’re able to visit tasting rooms again, you’ll be happy to know that my top two recommendations in Grapevine are both on Main Street. While you’re downtown, be sure to check out the bronze grapevine sculptures outside the Convention and Visitors Bureau. This public art display shows the life cycle of a grapevine and was purchased with donations secured by the Grapevine Wine Pouring Society.My first tasting room recommendation is Bingham Family Vineyards. Bingham is first and foremost a farming family. They’re a multi-generational family that’s all about 100% Texas grown and produced estate wines from the Texas High Plains. They’ve got a tasting room in Fredericksburg and one in Meadow in addition to the one in Grapevine. You won’t find their wines in distribution because they barely make enough wine to keep their own wine club satisfied. If you want Bingham made wines, get them through the tasting rooms or online.The Binghams own or manage around 250 acres of grapes in the Texas High Plains, and they’ve been growing grapes since 2003. They also grow grapes for over 20 other Texas wineries. In addition to grapes, the Binghams grow around 2000 acres of other organic crops including cotton and peanuts. The fact that they’re an estate winery is pretty unique among Texas wineries. They decided to start making some of their own wines in 2014 and opened the Grapevine tasting room in 2015. Production is approximately 5000 cases.If you live within 10 miles of the tasting room, they’ll deliver your order and waive the $10 fee if you spend over $50.Betty Bingham keeps an active blog with great recipes, wine pairings, and updates from the farm. I found an entry from back in May that gives the Bingham family’s impressions on the 2020 harvest. Betty writes, “It doesn’t look good for the 2020 grape crop at Bingham Family Vineyards. We are estimating 170 tons rather than our original expectation of 900 tons.” She has photos of several different varieties and how they fared. She writes, “they show that we are concerned not only this year’s crop, but also for the vines themselves. We will be spending extra time training many of the vines to prepare for fruit next year or in some blocks for fruit two years from now. On the whole it appears that the older the vines, the less fruit. The younger vines, except for some of those just planted last year, are actually faring better.”Bingham Family VineyardNext, just down the street you’ll find Messina Hof - Grapevine. This is one of Messina Hof’s three locations. The others are in Bryan/College Station and Fredericksburg. The fourth location is under development in the greater Houston area.Messina Hof was the 4th winery established in TX (1977) by the Bonarrigio family. It’s is a large Texas winery with about 84,000 cases produced. You’ll find the wines in wide distribution. They’ve got over 70 wines in distribution to 40 states. They work with over 20 growers statewide to produce their Texas wines.Messina Hof Opened the Grapevine location in 2014 in the old Wallis Hotel which was built in 1891. At Messina Hof - Grapevine you’ll find multiple tasting areas, and many, many styles of wine. In fact, Messina Hof makes wines from over 25 grape varieties. There’s something for everyone here: wine on tap, wine in cans, wines by the glass, shopping, premium flights of wines that are only available at this location and more. They host lots of events too. If you’re looking for something special for a group or special event, there’s an opportunity for a private seated tasting that food.Messina Hof - GrapevineUmbra sells Texas wine and in fact grows grapes at the sister property in Springtown. The Grapevine tasting room has made some changes to better meet the demands of current business environment. Right now Umbra is focused on a lot of gourmet food items, gift baskets, wine glasses and prepared food to go. There’s not as much seating for tastings as there used to be.If you stop in, be sure to check out the Estrella de Vida, named for the late Dr Bobby Smith, the previous owner of La Buena Vida Vineyards, The owners of Umbra bought La Buena Vida from Dr. Smith, and he was their mentor until his death earlier this year. The wine is a Texas orange muscat, and it has a photo of Dr. Bobby on the label. The back label pays tribute to their mentor and friend and invites us to join in celebrating his life with the commemorative wine.NOTE: Just after this recording was complete, Umbra Winery announced the consolidation of its operations to its vineyard in Springtown. The Umbra tasting room in Grapevine is closing.Umbra WineryCross Timbers Winery is about half a mile off Main Street. It has a lovely outdoor patio space where you’ll often find live music. A two-story barn can be rented for parties. They only make a few hundred cases of wine, just enough to use for events at the barn and to pour in the tasting room and at the various events that happen throughout the year in Grapevine. They don’t ship wine or operate a wine club. Kim McPherson makes the wine.Grapevine’s sister city is Parras de la Fuente, Mexico. That’s the site of Casa Madero, the oldest winery in the Americans. The late founder of Cross Timbers was friends with the folks at Casa Madero. That’s why you can taste 4 Casa Madero wines at Cross Timbers. If you go, plan to sit outside on a nice day when there’s live music. I haven’t tasted the wine, but the outdoor space could definitely be fun.Cross Timbers WineryJerry Delaney owns the 10 acre vineyard and winery in Grapevine, and also a 115 acre vineyard in Lamesa which is in the Texas High Plains AVA. The winery in Grapevine is an 8,000 square foot French chateau inspired building. It was completed in 1996, and the first bottling production was in the summer of 1997. The vineyard of Norton grapes was planted in 1993.Delaney calls the wine produced from the Grapevine vineyard Cynthiana which is a synonym for Norton according to UC Davis Grape Registry. Norton is a hybrid variety, and it’s also the cornerstone of the Missouri wine industry. Grapevine is outside of any of the 8 AVAs in Texas, so this wine is just labeled Texas. The Texoma AVA starts well north of Grapevine.Delaney VineyardsRestaurants:When you’re ready for a meal, perhaps you want to try a nearby restaurant where you can try other Texas wines.Sloan & Williams is a winery but also has a large tapas menu. Stop in there for lunch and the Texas tasting. They’ve got 5 Texas wines that they bottle under their own Sloan and Williams label from grapes grown on the Texas High Plains. Try the Texas wine flight!Sloan & Williams WineryIf you’re craving seafood, Big Fish Seafood Grill & Bar has several Texas wines on the menu both by the bottle and by the glass.Big Fish Seafood Grill & BarThe couple that owns Main Street Bakery, Chez Fabien, and the newer Piaf Kitchen and Wine Bar have done a good job at putting Texas wines on those wines lists. The Mediterranean themed Piaf has the most Texas wines of any restaurants in Grapevine according to my research. If you know of others that have more, please let me know! Piaf has 4 Texas wines by the glass and 6 by the bottles. They’re from the Texas wine producers that you’d expect to see: Messina Hof, McPherson, and Duchman. Piaf has a good looking upstairs patio and a wine room for private events.Piaf KitchenThe new Hotel Vin will also bring a new fine dining option to Grapevine. It’s called Bacchus Kitchen and Bar. Of course Bacchus is the Roman God of wine. The big question is, will they have Texas wine on their list? The website talks more about handcrafted cocktails and craft beer, but I’m still hopeful. I hope they’ll take a page from the Pyramid Room playbook and have not just a nice selection of Texas wines, but dedicate a little space to some Texas wine education too. I bet a lot of out of town business travelers who will likely dine here don’t even know Texas grows grapes but would be interested in trying Texas wine.Hotel Vin's Bacchus KitchenWine Shop:There’s an independent Wine shop on Main Street that’s worth a mention too. Off the Vine has been around for 27 years and has featured Texas wines with in store tastings. Owner Holly Donnelly has definitely seen a lot of changes in the Texas wine industry in her long tenure on Main Street. She currently features wines from Lost Draw, Reddy Vineyards, Kuhlman Cellars and several other top Texas producers. Pick up something from there and head to one of Grapevine’s BYOB spots. The one I’ve visited and loved is Café Italia. Holly also suggests Amore’s or Mason & Dixie.Off the VineThings to Do:A lot of the things to do in Grapevine center around wine. One is the Grapevine Vintage Railroad. The railroad runs several special events each year that are adults only and focus on wine. There are Jazz Wine Trains, Halloween Wine Trains and more. The Grapevine tasting rooms supply the wine. Members of the Grapevine Wine Pouring Society pour the wine. This society meets regularly for wine education and fellowship. They’re wine ambassadors for the town of Grapevine and some of the friendliest folks you will meet. I enjoyed being a guest at their meeting in 2017 when I wrote an article about the wine pouring society for Texas Wine Lover website.My article on the Grapevine Wine Pouring Society for Texas Wine LoverPassengers on the wine trains travel on authentic 1920's-era Victorian train coaches along the historic Cotton Belt Route. I haven’t been on a wine train ride myself, so I don’t have a personal recommendation.Grapevine Vintage RailroadAnother option Grapevine offers is a guided winery tours. Contact Grapevine Wine Tours for an outing that also includes lunch or dinner. If you want to make sure you get nothing but Texas wine, schedule a private tour for your party. The regularly scheduled tours may also include stops at a couple of the wineries I’ve mentioned, but the private tours will also include Bingham and Off the Vine which are not on the public tours.Grapevine Wine ToursThe 8 wineries on the Urban Winery trail are part of many holiday events throughout the year. Tickets always go quickly! Grapevine is also known as the Christmas Capital of Texas, so that’s a fun time to go wine tasting, shopping and dining around the historic main street.Some of the wrap around events planned for GrapeFest are still happening. The tennis classic and the Texas Wine Tribute, a black-tie event that recognizes leaders in Texas wine, are still on the calendar, at least for now. Check the website for more details.GrapeFest 2020In Summary:So, yes, there is good Texas wine in Grapevine, you just need to know where to find it. The Texas wine culture isn’t as prevalent in Grapevine as it should be. Considering the number of visitors that come to Grapevine, both from in-state, from other states, and from around the world, showcasing Texas wine should be a priority here.I would love to see more wineries on Main Street, and I wish they all sold Texas wine. I wish every Grapevine restaurant had a section of its wine list dedicated to Texas wine, and I wish there was more variety in the wines on wine lists.Grapevine has the perfect infrastructure for creating more Texas wine lovers, and the city has already done so much for the industry.A huge thank you to those Texas wineries, restaurants, wine shops, TWGGA, and other businesses that support Texas wine in Grapevine. I support you and encourage all my listeners to get to Grapevine to check out the new developments, dine in the new restaurants, and buy some Texas wine! When Texas tasting rooms reopen, don’t forget about the ones in Grapevine. Cheers!What I'm Drinking2018 Bingham Family Vineyards Cloudburst

When lawyer Lindsey Williams gave up the pressures of her corporate job to pursue one of her passions (wine) - she had no idea that a global pandemic might cause a disruption.  Her small business has had to adapt like so many and shift to online ordering and curbside pickup.  In my interview with her she talks about the urban winery concept. https://davidsonwineco.com/about/#our-wineswww.charukumarhia.com www.charukumarhia.com

Fill your cups and lets chat about something we all love: Music & Movies. Topics: - Soundtrack of our lives - Reboot vs Remake - Are any better than the original? - Original songs and music vs Covers. - Do we prefer the original version of a song because it's better or     just because it came first? - If we prefer the cover, do we prefer a song because it's more modern?

This year's Wine Expo in Sonoma County featured a seminar on Pét Nat, or Pétillant Naturel. It's an ancient method of making a sparkling wine with a single fermentation. It predates the more common methode champeniose that is used in Champagne and sparkling wine. On the panel was natural wine producer Jared Brandt of Donkey & Goat. He intrigued me. There's been a natural wine movement in recent years but Jared and his wife Tracey have been at it for over 2 decades. They rarely filter their wine and add as little sulfur as possible. He explains the reasoning behind that and his process as we hear their story.

Originally born in Ballarat, Alex discovered an interest in wine helping a childhood friend in his family winery for harvest one year. He then worked vintages in numerous regions and countries, before returning to Australia and commencing employment at Lethbridge Wines in Geelong. Here he started playing around with his own wines, quickly getting some attention for himself with the Byrne Wines brand. More recently he launched Noisy Ritual with some friends. Noisy Ritual is an urban winery that allows people to become members and work together to make wine that they can then enjoy with their friends and family.
