Another round of birthdays, another round of celebrations. For her birthday celebration, Kelley rented a limousine bus for an afternoon tour of a few wineries in the Texas Hill Country. After a visit and lunch at Rancho Ponte, we made our way to William & Chris Vineyards in Hye, Texas. Now, I've had a bit of wine in my life; some very good wine, and also some very bad wine. This being said, the wine of the William & Chris Vineyards just may be the best wine I've ever tasted. Just as an example, the Hunter is a smooth merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, tempranillo, and mourverde blend. I'm not sure I've ever had such a wonderful balance of bold flavors with such a perfectly dry, yet smooth finish. What's more incredible about my taking a liking to this wine is the alma mater of the Chris of William & Chris. After a bit of goading, I found this lovely message on the bottle of Hunter I asked him to sign for us. Many thanks to William & Chris Vineyards for amazing wine and some refreshing Longhorn-Aggie chatter.
