Flat Creek Estate -- Marble Falls, Texas
The windy road of 1431 from Cedar Park to Marble Falls has been known to be one of the more picturesque scenes of the Texas Hill County. Situated just between the northern parts of Lake Travis and the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge is a vineyard located on some pristine land. The rolling hills, landscape, and architecture has a bit of a Tuscany feel to it. You might think that you've stepped through a door way to a vineyard region of Italy! Established at the beginning of the 21st century, the 80 acre estate has about 20 acres of vines that blend nicely with the rolling hills. Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Muscat Canelli, and Pinot Grigio are some of the varietals grown here. From their quality wine selection, you'll have the pleasure of tasting their famous Super Texas and their popular Blanco Brio. Do try their Bucking Horse Red which is a Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah blend. And while you're at it, you'll also want to try the Bucking Horse White (100% Viognier). They've done a very nice job with their Rose and you certainly can't leave without sipping their wonderful Sparkling Almond wine! Feel free to roam the grounds and take lots of pictures. The Flat Creek Bistro (original tasting room) is a great place to hold an event. They often have wine pairing dinner events as well, so keep an eye out for those and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. The stone arches of the outside Pavilion also makes a great outside venue. With friendly faces to serve you and good wine to keep your taste buds happy, this place is worth hanging out longer than expected.

O. Henry Recording:
“This is William Sydney Porter speaking, better known to you, no doubt, as O. Henry. I'm going to let you in on a few of my secrets in writing a short story. The most important thing, at least in my humble opinion, is to use characters you've crossed in your lifetime. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. All of my stories are actual experiences that I have come across during my travels. My characters are facsimiles of actual people I've known. Most authors spend hours, I'm told even days, laboring over outlines of stories that they have in their minds. But not I. In my way of thinking that's a waste of good time. I just sit down and let my pencil do the rest. Many people ask me how I manage to get that final little twist in my stories. I always tell them that the unusual is the ordinary rather than the unexpected. And if you people listening to me now start thinking about your own lives, I'm sure you'll discover just as many odd experiences as I've had. I hope this little talk will be heard long after I'm gone. I want you all to continue reading my stories then too. Goodbye, folks.”

Becker Vineyards - Stonewall, Texas
This has to be one of the classic winery destination stops of the Texas Hill Country. Established in 1992 by Richard and Bunny Becker when there was nothing out there, they have now helped establish Fre...dericksburg and the Texas Hill Country as a top destination for wine lovers in the state. With both estate vines and access to vineyards from the Texas High Plains and throughout most of Texas, the Beckers' have grape resources to make just about any quality Texas wine you can imagine. Any time of the year is a great time to visit as the winery has many events and live music occasions on a regular basis. Most wines made here are Bordeaux, Burgundian and Rhone style. The list of wines is quite extensive and to pick out a few to grab your attention would do injustice to the others. One thing is for sure, the older the reds you have from Becker wines the better they will be! Plus, the reds are good for your heart, just ask the doctor. The estate grounds have a log cabin built around 1890s. The reception hall adjacent to the winery is a great place for events. The outside grounds and surrounding Hill Country landscape makes a good backdrop for weddings. And there is more than just wine! Check out the lavender fields! During their annual Lavender Festival, you can enjoy picking your own lavender then enjoy some great tasting Becker wine. The winery also makes a great place for your first wine date. What's there not to like about this place? You just can't go wrong here! Check out their website to see what the latest events are and plan your next trip accordingly.

Kerrville-Schreiner Park, Texas
Had a wonderful stay at Kerrville-Schreiner Park which use to be a state park but now is owned by the City of Kerrville Texas. A beautiful Park within minutes of down town Kerrville. Lots of wildlife and great fishing in the Guadalupe River. Met up with some great friends over in Boerne, Texas, Justin and Christine Hunt and family. Had one of the best Bar-B-Q dinners I think I have ever had, Thanks Justine and Christine for the great hostility. Hope this gives you an incite in case you might ever want to stay there.

Duchman Family Winery -- Driftwood, Texas
Founded in 2004, this Italian style winery in Texas is making good, affordable wines. Some Texas wine lovers will remember this place as Mandola Winery, which has since been sold. (Not to worry though, the Mandola's have a restaurant conveniently located next door.) One will first notice the vast vineyards that have been planted at the estate with a wide variety of grapes. The wine selection is well balanced between white and reds. The majority of the wines are crafted in a dry style, yet there are a few sweeter and dessert wines available in the mix. The Montepulciano should not be missed! An upscale restaurant on the premises has one of the more unique views of the vineyard and the Hill Country. When visiting, sit back under the oak trees at one of the picnic tables with your favorite bottle and enjoy this piece of Italy in Texas. Salute!

The To Go Kupps | Day Four | Barone Ricasoli Castle
Here are the highlights from our tour of the Barone Ricasoli Castle in Chianti as well as dinner featuring their wines. Apparently, Barone Ricasoli invented Chianti wine, so cheers to him! Look out for beautiful views of Tuscany from the castle wall, a cannon-ball dented side of the castle, and a family crypt.

Lot 680 2018 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
For those of you that have been with us for the long haul, you’ll remember that about six years ago, we were so blown away by a Sauvignon Blanc producer in New Zealand that we partnered up with them to create an entirely new brand for the US market (Greenlip). Why the hiatus? Quality, pure and simple. I was unable to find a worthy follow-up. Until now.
Lot 680 is a stunning New Zealand offering, made in a state-of-the-art Marlborough winery that employs a natural approach to winemaking that maximizes the beautiful maritime climate of this amazing winegrowing region.
