Development of the Vineyards commenced in 1976 as an early entrant in the renaissance of Texas winegrowing. The initial planting was three acres. An experimental winery functioned in the Control Building /Laboratory from 1979 through 1983 when the Winery building was completed. The appellation proved the premier vinifera varieties could be grown and produce fine wines; the Vineyards were progressively enlarged. Robert Oberhelman, Founder, President and Winemaster has guided development, initially part-time and since 1990 with total dedication. Bob, as he is know locally, is a veteran in the food industry. He holds a BS from the University of Kansas , graduate studies in Food Technology at MIT, and is a Professional Member of both the Institute of Food Technology and the American Society of Enology and Viticulture.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
