William Chris Vineyards - 2010 Enchanté 1080p.mov
Enchanté is French, and we take its meaning well here in the Texas Hill Country! Please meet our newest, the 2010 vintage of Enchanté, our proud flagship wine. Earmarked mainly for our Hye Society members, just 604 cases were produced, sourced from 100% Texas grapes -- Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec, Cab Franc, and a touch of Ruby Cab. We can personally attest that this young wine pairs well with smoked venison and Lockhart quail. Hope to see you at the Winery, west of Austin on 290 between Johnson City and Fredericksburg. Enchanté, ya'll!

Why Texas Wine Needs Truth in Labeling
- Texas wines are something special. As any Texan knows there is pride in having a 'sense of place' - something our wine industry needs. Top states leading the US wine industry have already implemented labeling standards that are more stringent than those required by the federal government (currently the Texas standard of labeling). To these states, truth in labeling was — and is — a matter of integrity. Recognizing the importance of place and variety in the creation of wines, it's time for Texas' labeling guidelines to be principled, honest, and clear just like our peers. Consumers have a right to know where their wines are sourced, and the industry deserves the chance to stand out in a global market. Learn more about Texas' Truth in Labeling Act at realtexaswine.org

Hye Meadow Winery -- Hye, Texas
A brand spanking new winery is in the Texas Hill Country! In fact, it's so new that it's still under construction! Well, that doesn't prevent this winery entrepreneur from unofficially opening up their doors. Owners Mike & Denise Batek may have started ankle deep in the winery business with a couple of barrels over at William & Chris Winery, but now they are all in and there's no turning back. Besides a hope and a dream, Mike is a graduate of Texas Tech's viticulture program. Along with Jeff Ivy, the winemaker, these two gents are working on building a fine facility in Hye as well as making some great wine. The wine production building is where tasting is currently done. It is quite spacious and looks like it has capacity for their current and future needs. There are currently five wines available for tasting. All grapes were sourced from Washington, but don't let that dissuade you from trying them (sometimes when wineries get started, they have to source grapes from out of state until they get their own vineyard situated). To our die-hard Texas wine lover readers, keep in mind that Washington has some excellent grapes. The two whites available are a Chardonnay and a Gewurztraminer blend, both 2011. The Chardonnay has about 10% Riesling for a little extra twist and is naked -- aka unoaked. It is quite crisp and fruit forward. The Edelzwicker is the 50/50 Gewurztraminer and Riesling blend. It is quite aromatic and is excellent when served chilled. The blush wine, also 2011, is not overly sweet and is very refreshing in this Texas heat. It is a Gewurztraminer with 2% Cabernet added. The two reds available are 2010 vintages. The Sangiovese has a surprisingly good depth and complexity for such a varietal. It has about 25% Cabernet added to it. The Cabernet Sauvignon is young and fresh, and should continue to age well for a couple more years. Yes, it is good to drink now, but we think it will only improve if you let the wine gods enrich the flavor a little longer. Of course, we will feature these wines more in depth in a future blog posting. Sometime in July, Mike plans on releasing wines sourced from Texas grapes (both 2011 vintages). One will be a Viognier and the other will be a red blend of Tempranillo, Merlot, and Mourvedre. Though the tasting room and event buildings are still under construction, don't let that hinder you from admiring their majestic oak trees that form the backdrop to this exciting new venue. It is quite spectacular! How could one ever say no to this piece of wine country? There are plans in the future to add a vineyard. Mike is thinking about starting with Touriga and Aglianico. Both grapes have shown great promise in quality and yield in the Texas Hill Country. Who knows, maybe a port will be in the works, too! There are some events happing at the winery starting in July (including a pig roast) with the official grand opening on July 27th. This winery is a great addition to Hye and the Texas Hill Country. Do make this one of your stops on your next wine trek. Cheers!

Fiesta Winery -- Lometa, Texas
Fiesta Winery has just recently opened with a fine selection of sweet reds and white wines. What makes their sweet wines so special and tasty is that not only are the traditional varietal grapes in the wine, but also fruit wines added in a special blend that makes for just the right compliment to the wine. One could spend most of the afternoon just sampling their wines or mixing your own combination in your wine glass if you so choose. Interestingly, the tasting room is the family's former game room newly remodeled and make sure to take a peek at their historic outhouse.
