Happy New Year everyone!
Let me bring you up to date, since I am guessing you don’t have much knowledge of Pilot Knob Vineyard to this point.
An interest turned into a deep curiosity, a deep curiosity became a passion and that passion now is my job! Pretty nice, huh? Believe me, there is lots more to the story…years of work and research, informational overload, a bunch of money spent, and more than just a tad bit of anxiety. Oh, and for a city kid, bunches of practice to not look totally goofy when a wasp buzzes around your head, or when a spider crawls on your hand when you are pruning vines….slowly making progress here. In the end though, it couldn’t have turned out any better.
So now we have 112 acres of beautiful land in Bertram , Texas
Over the coming months, and years, I hope that you will come along for the journey with us. I will take you through what the creation of a winery is like, and how we work toward making Pilot Knob Vineyard a place to create some memories. I think some of the posts will be informational, I’m sure some will be a bit comical, but I hope that you can always get a sense for what this unique business is all about and how we go about doing it the best way we can.
The next few months will chronicle the purchasing of all our supplies (bottles, barrels, wine, capsules, corks, etc.), the progress of our construction of the Tasting Room, and the tending to the vines as we get ready for them to spring back to life late March or early April. I am ready for a lot of hard work and fun, and ready to share that with all of you.
Strap in, here comes Pilot Knob Vineyard….stay tuned.
