KNCT Wine Classic – January 17

KNCT wine classic

We will be participating in the Annual KNCT Wine Classic again this year – our sixth year! This year’s event will be held on Saturday, January 17th from 7pm – 10pm. We’ll be pouring our wines along with our friends at Dancing Bee Winery, Red Caboose Winery, and the Vineyard at Florence, among others. This fun event raises money for our local PBS station. You’ll enjoy tastings, appetizers, and a complimentary wine glass.

As part of the KNCT Wine Classic, there will be a “Wine 101” class at 5pm on Saturday, January 17th. Learn the basics of tasting wine with certified sommelier Steve Hanik. Take this jump-start course and you’ll know what to look for in a glass of wine and how to describe it. You’ll also get to know your preferences and how to buy wines that you like. Following the class, take your wine knowledge into the KNCT Wine Classic and practice what you’ve learned. This course is perfect for novices starting to learn about wine, planning a trip to wine country or attending a wine dinner.

Buy your tickets to both the Wine Classic and Wine 101 class in advance at ticketstickets.com/knct. Admission is discounted in advance, so don’t wait to buy your tickets at the door!

Come on down!  Richard Paul Thomas will be playing from 4-7 pm. 

Live music, no cover charge. Bring your own picnic and lawn chair! 

Don’t forget, following Richard’s music, at 7 pm there will be a public showing of “A Journey in Every Glass“.  This is a locally produced documentary by the local PBS station, KNCT.   Our vineyard plays a starring role and this is a story of the Central Texas Wine Industry that you do not want to miss.

This picture is Stephen & Mary Hanik (from Salado) being filmed by Christian Wohlfhart of KNCT TV.  Mr. Wolfhart produced a film about the Texas wineries called, “A Journey In Every Glass”.  We’re going to host a special public screening of the documentary on Saturday, September 5 at 7pm.

Christian spent a considerable amount of time documenting my vineyard this spring, and filming harvest.  Unlike other media who visit us, he even helped harvest!  He then followed the grapes on their journey to Red Caboose Winery.

This documentary was produced by a local PBS station, KNCT.  They explored the Central Texas’ wine industry via visits to area wineries.  While filming, they helped us pick chardonnay grapes.  This is the only time I remember the media actually getting involved and picking, so I hope the show is a great success!

The show will premiere at 7 pm on Tuesday, September1, 2009 and it is  entitled “A Journey In Every Glass” .   If you are in the Central Texas viewing area (Killeen, Temple, Waco) you can watch the program on KNCT TV.

This program will help promote the annual KNCT Wine Classic fundraiser in January, so I’m sure it will be played again.  Check your local listings!
