It's delightful how they've grown. Flannigans is clearly a labor of love (for alcohol, architecture, food and Texas history) and the joy of experimentation. Food is great, wine is great, spirits are exceptional. The Texas American Gothic (TAG) is a completely unique experience that needs to spread. TX liquor distributors need to jump on this yesterday. Catch Kevin (one of the owners) at the right time and you just might find yourself in a trivia battle!

Hands down the best paella we have ever had! That's another review though! LOL The Horne family that owns and runs 7 Creeks are great folks. Always stopping by to visit (when they can, it stays pretty busy on weekend days), and they're all willing to talk about how they make the wine, wine and food pairing, etc. They offer some food items, e.g., charcuterie board, Fat Boy Cheese and crackers (if you haven't had Fat Boy cheese, you gotta get you some of that-- delicious!). And, they welcome you bringing your own food. It's a good place for families, usually quite a few there, plenty of room for kids to run around and exhaust themselves! :-) 7 Creeks usually has live music on Saturdays, and often has special menus cooked and offered by Jerry Horne, he is a fantastic cook... gumbo, street tacos, etc. Well worth your time to stop by the winery in Burnet, TX. Highly recommend 7 Creeks Vineyard.

I came here with some family so we had a party of eight, we had plenty of room at a large table inside. There are indeed mules on site in case anyone was wondering. You may not get to see them depending on weather and their moods. The staff are all friendly and helpful. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, we stayed inside to get away from the July in Texas heat. The food is good. Just some solid snacks to go with your wine samples. Get a pizza or some dips, skip the cheese boards. Also, skip the premixed espresso martini. The flights are a great way to try a lot of drinks. The brewery nearby also has beer flights which was an interesting experience since I picked a bunch of random ones. Maybe curate yours a bit better than I did.

I love the brewery's name, Schitz Creek Brewery & Distillery. Great prices for flights (~$15), and ended up going home with a bottle of their (green) Apple Moscato. Friendly folks and they serve pizza, when we went on a Sat. Large outdoor/indoor spaces to hang out at, dog friendly, and resident donkeys on site. Live music too.

It was great getting back out to the Perissos estate this weekend. Since our initial visit, the…read morewinemaking team has clearly refined their aging process, and the culinary side is firing on all cylinders. I sampled the Bruschetta. The healthy portion of Burrata cheese, the acidity in the balsamic glaze and tomatoes creates a seamless match with the Sangiovese, enhancing the wine's red fruit characteristics without washing out the palate. For this trip, I also tasted the 2023 Meritage, a dark, complex blend anchored by Texas grown grapes including Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon balanced with Cabernet Franc. Offers layered aromas of cassis, graphite, baking spices and grounded by structured, firm tannins. My previous review included the feedback that prices were incredibly high. Now, the prices of everything else has caught up. Good job Team Perissos. The hospitality of the staff is why we moved to Texas in the 80s. I'm well traveled and I can tell you, Texas hospitality is beyond compare.

The views are absolutely stunning and trick your mind into thinking you are in Italy. The wine is amazing, balanced, and full of flavor. There were no bad wines like you may experience in other winery tastings. They also provide little bites of an elevated caprese salad during your tasting. All of it is from Texas and so fresh! They do provide information for a membership but are not pushy at all. I highly recommend this tasting/tour and we will definitely be back!

We got the fig and prosciutto pizza (had feta and balsamic glaze on top) and it was decent. It would have been better with some arugula on top!
