Special Event Details:This event is specifically designed to educate and give you the best personal experience possible. In a small group of less than 15, you will go through the different courses and enjoy the expert pairing of the different food choices. With this event you will receive a special souvenir wine glass, wine guide, and the head chef and winemaker will be at the actual event describing how they paired the meal and also educating about the wine. William Chris is one of the more popular wineries among wine enthusiasts because the palette of their wines is a higher level and the expertise of all of their staff is top notch. Cru wine bar is a restaurant that we frequently work with because of their professionalism, excellent food, and their obvious fondness and knowledge of food and wine pairing.
Special Guest: Chris Brundrett
Chris Brundrett has established a career in the Hill Country as one of the state's fastest rising young winegrowers. While earning a horticulture degree from Texas A&M, Chris spent time in the Hill Country, acquiring experience in the winery and the vineyard. He then quickly proceeded to take on head winemaking responsibilities for several wine labels, managing vineyard properties in both the Hill Country and the High Plains.
What began as an acquaintance as winemakers in the Hill Country became a collaboration between Bill Blackmon and Chris, focusing on a shared winemaking philosophy. As the word 'winegrowers' implies, Bill and Chris agree that great wines are not made but grown. They also believe that wine should be inspired by the pleasure that is shared with an extended community of friends and family. The creation of each new vintage depends greatly upon these two priorities. Bill and Chris bottled their first vintage under the William Chris label in 2008 and have continued to produce wine together ever since.
