Pilot Knob Vineyard turns “4”… months that is!!

Being a new winery is no job for the faint of heart.  Don’t get me wrong, slinging wine is a blast, working the vines (other than when it is 105 degrees….in other words during the Texas Summer) can be a very relaxing and connective, and the people you meet are just amazing.  So, even though we have been working the vineyard the last few years, planning, planning and planning, for the opening of the tasting room it’s always amazing how many things you learn along the way.  The ideas that you thought were “no brainers” sometimes turn out to be “no gooders”, or at least “no where near what you that they would be….ers”.   Good news is, generally something else you thought would be a good idea, turns out to be a great idea (the Austin Steam Train comes to mind here!), and takes up the slack. 


One thing that we feel we are very fortunate to have invested a lot of time in developing is a wine club.  Our wine club members have been amazing supporters of our business and the biggest advocacy group you could ever ask for.  Each month we are adding many new members to both of our wine clubs, and it just makes for such a special time as we continue to find ways to create a little fun, mixed with a heaping helping of vino.  We are doing our best to keep the calendar full, that way we can meet more great folks, have more wonderful times, and continue to spread the word of Pilot Knob Vineyard.

So, four months old, and we are very excited about what Pilot Knob Vineyard has become, and the fun and enjoyment we have provided to so many already.  The truth is, if you have good wine, and a comfortable place to enjoy it, so many other parts fall into place.  So far so good, and we only plan to make it so much better. 

Come by and see all the new things happening at Pilot Knob Vineyard.

Cheers!
