Texas Spirits and Vines: A New Era for Milam & Greene and Texas Hills Vineyard
August 15, 2024, 6:02 am
In the heart of Texas, two distinct brands are making waves in the spirits and wine industries. Milam & Greene Whiskey and Texas Hills Vineyard are not just places to sip; they are experiences waiting to unfold. Each brand is stepping into a new chapter, blending tradition with innovation.
Milam & Greene Whiskey is set to release its latest creation, the Roadrunner Single Barrel Bourbon. This bourbon is the fourth installment in their 2024 Wildlife Collection. It’s more than just a drink; it’s a testament to the Texas landscape. The whiskey is a product of the unique climate in the Texas Hill Country, where hot summers and cool snaps shape the flavor profile. The Roadrunner bourbon is a cask-strength whiskey, meaning it packs a punch at 130.1 proof.
This bourbon is not just a drink; it’s a story. A story of resilience and adaptation. The whiskey spent over eight years in barrels, absorbing the essence of the wood and the environment. Each bottle is a snapshot of a moment in time, a case study of nature’s influence on craftsmanship. The bourbon is named after the roadrunner, a bird known for its speed and agility. Just like the bird, this whiskey is expected to fly off the shelves.
The release is scheduled for August 21, 2024, and only 143 bottles will be available. Whiskey enthusiasts are advised to mark their calendars. The anticipation is palpable. The proceeds from this limited release will benefit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, making each sip a contribution to conservation efforts.
Meanwhile, Texas Hills Vineyard is undergoing a transformation of its own. Recently acquired by brothers Jim and John Mueller, the vineyard is embracing its rich history while looking toward the future. The new owners are committed to enhancing the winery’s offerings. They are introducing new wines, exclusive wine clubs, and dining experiences that elevate the visitor experience.
Texas Hills Vineyard has been a staple in the Texas wine scene since 1995. The vineyard is nestled in the picturesque Texas Hill Country, an area known for its ideal grape-growing conditions. The new owners are keen to honor the legacy of the vineyard while infusing it with fresh energy. They have retained the core staff and brought in new talent to enhance the winemaking process.
The vineyard is set to release new wines, including an Estate Chardonnay and a Tempranillo from the Texas High Plains. These wines are crafted to highlight the unique terroir of Texas. The Chardonnay is bright and zesty, while the Tempranillo offers a rich tapestry of flavors. Both wines come adorned with new labels, signaling a fresh start for the vineyard.
To complement the wine offerings, Texas Hills Vineyard is introducing The Red Room speakeasy. This new venue will provide a unique dining experience, pairing exquisite food with the vineyard’s award-winning wines. The addition of a petting zoo for families adds a playful touch, making the vineyard a destination for all ages.
The Vineyard Club is another exciting development. This exclusive membership offers perks like priority reservations for The Red Room, complimentary tastings, and access to special events. Members can curate their wine selections, ensuring they receive exactly what they desire.
Both Milam & Greene and Texas Hills Vineyard are examples of how Texas is carving out its identity in the spirits and wine industries. They are not just producers; they are storytellers. Each bottle of bourbon and each glass of wine reflects the land, the people, and the passion behind them.
The Roadrunner Single Barrel Bourbon and the new offerings from Texas Hills Vineyard represent a commitment to quality and community. They are products of their environment, shaped by the unique climate and culture of Texas.
As these brands evolve, they invite consumers to join them on their journey. Whether it’s savoring a glass of bourbon or enjoying a wine tasting, each experience is an opportunity to connect with the land and its heritage.
