Well shoot, I didnât know what I was gettinâ into when I pulled up to 1900 Vineyard, but lemme tell yaâthis place is somethinâ special. The landâs prettier than a spring morninâ, and the whole place just feels peaceful, like you can finally breathe deep and slow down a bit.
I got to meet the folks runninâ the place, Katherine and Randy, and I swear theyâre two of the kindest souls youâll ever come across. Real friendly, real folksyânot the fake kind either. They made me feel right at home like Iâd known âem for years. We had a good olâ chat, and you could tell they care about this place like itâs part of their family.

The Tie the Knot Tannat wine aged in the bourbon barrel is amazing!...
