HARD WORK
There can be no great wine without extraordinary and difficult labor. Our labor is the penance to produce excellence, but the reward is purity, beauty, and a time capsule of our efforts to share with family and friends.
CHRIS MISSICK - WINEMAKER
Chris' path towards winemaking was two decades in the making, and included military service, a law practice, and a bold decision to pursue the craft of winemaking with his own artistic approach.
​
His greatest accomplishments include convincing his wife to marry him, his two children Andrew and Audrey, and besides his wines, his prowess at growing tomatoes.
​
Chris Missick has produced dozens of 90+ wines, earned honors with his wines in major wine publications, pioneered Chenin Blanc in the Finger Lakes, and hosts the podcast VITI+CULTURE, where he talks with makers from all walks of life on how to cultivate a good life. He is proud of the wines Texas is producing, and is honored to be a part of the Texas winemaking community.
​
(He may be this nation's only winemaker also admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States.)
