Brushy Creek Wines

The wines we carry are not generally
available through normal retail stores because they are small
production hand made wines.
We usually have at least half a dozen
wines open for tasting. As our customer base builds we will
reach a point were we can have all of the wines we carry open for
tasting.
We are very serious about providing our
customers the best Texas wines available

This Texas Port was made using the
traditional Portuguese method. We used super ripe Cabernet Sauvignon
(at 28% sugar) from the Texas High Lubbock) then as it was fermenting
we added brandy to kill the yeast while the wine was still sweet. We
did extensive trials with oak and learned that Hungarian Oak worked
better than French or American Oak for this wine. I carry about 50
really great dry and sweet wines but this port was my best seller last
month and it is fairly expensive at about $20/bottle. As a 2002 wine
it is a little young but it should age well.

Chardonnay
is usually dry, and goes best with poultry or seafood, like lobster or
scallops. It can even go well with a light red meat dish.

Sunset Red is a sweet red table
wine. Very popular served chilled with BBQ. Brushy Creek Vineyards
serves sweet and dry wines of many different styles and types. Many
of the wines are grown, harvested and made into wine on the premises
while others are made from grapes from nearby vineyards. There are
many small wineries across the state that are making great wine but
are not big enough for that wine to be available through normal
distribution channels. Our goal is to carry the best wines in Texas
from these small vineyards with a special emphasis on less common
grape varieties and styles.

This merlot is young but everyone keeps
hounding me for wine made by me from my own grapes. This is it, but
to be fair to the wine please let it rest for 6 months to two years.
This wine was made using American Oak barrels for some wines I really
want to use more French oak.

|
I only made one barrel of this merlot from
grapes grown just north of me by Howard and Amy at Oak Creek
vineyards. It is much better than the Merlot from my own grapes but
it is still a little young also. |
