On a recent trip to Fred, we decided to branch out and visit Bending Branch Winery in Comfort, TX.,…read moreas it's only about a 45-minute ride from downtown Fred. Bending Branch produces some top-notch wines and Bourbon! The winery is beautiful with multiple rooms, from high tops to comfy chairs. There is also a large patio that has some shade. They have a great family story (check out their website) and a unique way to produce bold wines. Being Kentucky natives, their bourbons are full-bodied and range from great for an old-fashioned to smooth as silk, straight up delicious. We enjoyed our red flight tasting, and yes, their Tannat is superb. Both their 2022 and 2021 Estate were complex, not overly fruity and rich. Their Tempranillo is beautifully balanced with some cherry notes and a fine leathery finish. I did sample their high-rye bourbon and was impressed with its smoothness. So impressed that a bottle now sits in my bourbon cabinet at home. This bourbon is easily sipped straight up or with a single ice cube. Bonus: If you do visit Bending Branch, take a short drive to downtown Comfort. There are some cool stores, and you have to check out the historic Giles Hotel. You can access their beautiful courtyard, and we were told by multiple folks that their breakfast is awesome. We are planning a return trip to check out the other wineries in the area and stay here.

Paniolo (Hawaiian word for Cowboy) Winery set a new standard for experience.

The space inside was elegantly furnished with historical photos/stories. The wine is made in small batches without sulfites - the stuff that gives you headaches. I embraced the Tempranillo and closed out the night with Peach Coffee that left me with a mission to come out again. I can't wait! Thank you, Macy, Nancy, and Orlando!

My husband and I went for a day date and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is great - really intimate, like you're visiting a friend's home. There's also outdoor seating but we stayed inside. The wine was delicious, from the dry to the dessert wines, ALL flavorful. But the very best part was chatting with the co-owner, David. It was like we were old friends picking up where we left off, except we just met! Cozy, inviting and in a cute part of Helotes. Hubby and I will make this a regular destination. We highly recommend Dawson's Creek Winery for casual relaxation but they also do events. We didn't try the charcuterie but will next time. Great place for a date, get together with a group or girls' outing. Go and enjoy!

Plastic chairs treat you to a view of the highway. The barista- she was a not a sommelier- did nothing but complain to the solo customer at "The Bar" and cry about how her life sucked. There was not even any music to drown out her whining. Yeah, real professional. She was just a "wine pourer". Their are no "tastings" to be had here. Even if I needed a place to "get drunk" on wine I wouldn't choose here- the prices are ridiculously high. Seriously. A bottle of the same varietal and label was cheaper at H-E-B than it was for a GLASS of it here. The Cabernet I had tasted stale and old- almost musty/moldy. The wines did not appear to come from the vaunted "Cibola Creek Vineyards" (if that even exists). Sort of like a smattering of varietals purchased at H-E-B or Costco and up-charged to sell to here. I've been to wineries around the world: from Germany to Portugal and from France to Napa Valley... and this is not a winery- it's just a bar. I looked out back- no vineyards either- just cedar's and weeds. It's a bar that serves expensively priced, average tasting wine in a bar-like setting. Not the cleanest place either. The atmosphere is rustic hovel. Bare wood rafters, linoleum flooring and a crappy looking bar in the center. Plastic chairs treat you to a view of highway 16. The place looked and felt like a shot and a beer establishment. Where's the mechanical bull? We felt cheated and gouged. $45 for two glasses of mediocre wine and 2 chicken satay skewers. We won't be going back. A bad business idea for Pipe Creek.

Hey Pipe Creek! We have a wine bar!! That cute little building beside the Shell on 16! I have…read moredriven by this place at least a million times -- but stopped in this weekend to check it out. Let me tell you -- worth the check out! First I need to give a shout out to Emily and Bronson -- they were very warm and welcoming, you can tell that they like where they work and that definitely makes a difference in the service industry. The inside is also warm and welcoming -- great decor, lots of seating (a couch!), and a great big bar with barstools in the middle of it all. It was really cold and rainy out, so we opted to stick inside for this visit, but they have fire pits in the back area, with tables and chairs and twinkle lights and all -- they even offer blankets and s'more fixin's to go with it. We tried their housemade Sangria and it was perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness. We also ordered the Charcuterie Plate -- they do not skimp on the goodness. Salami, ham, prosciutto, 3 kinds of cheeses (including brie!), different types of crackers, hummus, green grapes, red grapes, strawberries...I'm telling you, legit. I probably even missed listing some of the items, the spread was that extensive. Word on the street is they've brought some killer sliders to the menu recently, as well, so will be returning to try those ASAP. We were there in the early afternoon, so we did not get to experience this, but they have live music in the evenings and a trivia/karaoke night on Thursdays, we were told. Quite a nice little social meeting place they're building in this community. Go check 'em out! P.S. You have to see the bathroom walls. Pretty darn cute :)

I wanted to buy a particular eggnog brand - it's really good for French toast - and found it at this local store. Surprisingly, it has a drive through lane and the service is fast. You hit that lane and drive to the back and a friendly person comes to the window and greet you with a smile. You tell them what you're looking for and they'll have it for you wrapped in a brown paper bag. You pay with a card or cash, and off you go. I've never been inside but it's a liquor store and adjacent to it is an oil change place with the same name, probably owned by the same people who owns the liquor store.
