October is Texas state Wine Month!    Shelly Wilfong - @texaswinepod joins us to talk about Texas wine, her podcast, and using quarantine to help educate people to understand the issues facing the Texas wine industry!  You can also find some of the stories that Shelly has written on the Texas Wine Lover website txwinelover.com ! You can listen to her podcast "This Texas Wine" on all of the major podcast platforms.    Shelly's recommendations:  1) Texas has a lot of unique varietals of grapes growing, so visit a Texas Winery and let them guide you to find something you like in their tasting room.   2) Texas Rosé is a great goto wine with a wide range of styles, from dry to sweet options.    Shelly is dying to try the Kiepersol Fizzy Vit - canned wine in the Dallas area. We are working on getting our cans in the stores around the DFW area. The closest location to Dallas that has our product is Brookshire's Grocery Company in Forney, Tx. ** CORRECTION: There is no longer a Brookshire's in Rockwall.   If you're willing to help get our wines, especially Fizzy Vit in your local shop, you can request they carry Kiepersol Wines through our distributor Southern Glaziers.    With the shutdowns we didn't have an opportunity to release more podcasts earlier this year, so we take time to revisit with Ron Martin and look at footage from an East Texas winery tour we took in late 2019 and early 2020.  Ron also gives some tips on how to celebrate Texas Wine Month:   1) Go buy good Texas Wine. In retail or directly from the winery  2) Ask your favorite Texas restaurants if they have Texas Wines. If they don't encourage them to carry them!   3) Use a website or app to find some amazing Texas Vineyards & Wineries and go visit them! txwinelover.com is Ron's goto.  4) If you see if the bottle you're drinking is really a Texas wine      - If it says "For Sale in Texas" it's not made in Texas      - If it says "American Appellation" it's probably not a Texas wine      - If it says "Texas High Plains", "Texas Estate" or "Texas Wine" it is a Texas Wine   Ron and Michael visited 3 East Texas Wineries:  - Pella Legna - Tyler, Tx - Briar Creek Vineyards  - Whitehouse, Tx - 3 P's in a Vine - Athens, Tx For those listening you can watch the short video from this podcast here: https://youtu.be/2Nvke_KQLP0  Thank you for tuning in to the podcast!

Texas Wine Month 2020 | @texaswinepod Shelly Wilfong & Ron Martin | ep 25 Kiepersol Texas Podcast

Michael asks Alex about a saying that he keeps hearing in the wine community: "Opening up a drinking a bottle of wine is like experiencing a sense of place captured in a bottle, from a specific time and part of the world." Alex explains that there is a word for this experience and it's called "Terroir" (terˈwär). Often referred to as "the land" or in this case Sense of Place. Kiepersol is very terroir driven and grapes are grown 100% on the estate at Kiepersol. This means all the wines we make are grown exclusively on our land. Drinking Kiepersol Wines give a true sense of East Texas captured in a bottle. Alex works with the grapes as they grow and allows them to express themselves, highlighting their own naturally flavorful, elegant and fruit-forward characteristics. This scientific approach allows for Kiepersol to create wines that many people can enjoy, with low bitterness and a smooth balanced experience from the moment it touches your mouth, to the finish. Drinking a bottle of Kiepersol wine is an invitation. We welcome you to join us and drink the wine right here! However, enjoying a Kiepersol wines halfway across the country is like bringing a little bit of Kiepersol with you! Alex talks about the Kiepersol Artize and Azuca Artize wines. Artize is an Afrikaans (language) Word that means "Artistry". Azuca Artize Means "Sweet Artistry". Many wine drinkers from all over the world love to drink a Pinot Noir wine. Since Kiepersol is located in East Texas, we aren't able to grow Pinot Noir. So we made Kiepersol Artize, a red blend, to mimic the same characteristics of a Pinot Noir wine. This is a lighter wine, with low acidity and no bitterness that highlights the fruit-forward characteristics of our grapes. The Kiepersol Azuca Artize is made with very similar ideas in mind as the Artize, but more of a semi-sweet approach. You can pick up the 2012 Vintages of the Kiepersol Artize and Azuca Artize in the Winery Tasting Room at Kiepersol or in retail stores throughout Texas.

Alex Lee | Sense of Place, Terroir & Kiepersol Estate Grown Grapes | ep 24

Alex Lee is now officially the Kiepersol Winemaker!  On this episode, we talk about Kiepersol Bourbon Barrel-aged Merlot, the 2016 vintage of the Bourbon Barrel Merlot and how unique it is to have a Winery, Distillery and Vineyard all on the same property.  "If anyone orders a Merlot, I AM NOT **** DRINKING MERLOT." - Sideways (movie from 2004)  Sideways the movie gave Merlot sales such a bad wrap for many years, but Merlot is a really a high-quality grape and wine throughout the world. At Kiepersol, we especially love our Merlot and what the East Texas Terrior expresses in our wine! Kiepersol Merlot is not as bold as Cab Sauv, but has very fruit-forward characteristics. This makes for a bottle of very delicious wine and it pairs so well with a nice dinner meal.  Kiepersol Wines are made to be very comfortable wines and highlight fruit-forward characteristics. Since we've had such success with our Merlot, we've embraced it by taking our Kiepersol Bourbon Barrels, which aged Jimmy's Bourbon and started aging our Kiepersol Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in those barrels! This allows for the marriage between the Kiepersol Merlot and the bourbon soaked barrels which add flavor to the wine in a wonderful way.  With the Holidays coming up, this wine pairs really well with those smokey meats and hearty meals.  Come visit us or purchase this wine online: shop.kiepersol.com

Alex Lee - Assistant Wine Maker talks about the 2018 White Zinfandel and Vit ep 22 | Kiperersol Texas Podcast  Today we are joined by Alex Lee, the Assistant Wine Maker at Kiepersol. Alex has worked within the company for over 6 years now, starting off in the Restaurant at Kiepersol, then the Tasting Room Manager for the Winery and has been in the winery production facility for the last couple of years.  White Zinfandel is considered a "blush wine", which comes from the Red Zinfandel grapes, but is made like it's a rosé. "Blush" will almost always refer to a sweeter wine, while "Rosé" can actually be sweet or dry. This 2018 Kiepersol White Zinfandel has some strawberry-kiwi notes to it and is very juicy! This will be perfect for summer and nice lighter meals will be enhanced by pairing this wine with it.  2018 Kiepersol Vit (meaning "white" in Afrikaans) is a proprietary blend, which stylistically achieves the same goal in flavor, based on what the grapes taste like in that vintage. So it's not really possible to give the exact grape blend, as it changes from vintage to vintage, to achieve a Riesling style, semi-sweet wine. This 2018 Kiepersol Vit is very fresh, crisp, semi-sweet and pairs well with spicy food or even fatty meat cuts or can be enjoyed all by itself!  Alex recently spent some time in Napa Valley, California doing some research and was able to compare Texas Wine to Napa Valley. Alex's takeaway from his visit is that Texas Wine, specifically Kiepersol Wine, has a lot more "comfort" compared to Napa Valley Wines, while still highlighting the Texas terroir. Napa wines typically are very bold and beefy, but very different.  Texas is one of the fasted grape growing and winemaking regions in the nation. Kiepersol has been in business since 1999, making this our 20th year and we were the 34th bonded winery (since prohibition). There are now over 350 active wineries in Texas! Texas wine not only offers that comfort, but we have wine unlike any other region in the world. Alex recommends anyone interested in wine tasting really needs to experience Texas Wines.  Alex is a big fan of Port Wine and has been trying different Texas Port wines, other than Kiepersol's. He really likes Haak Vineyards & Winery Port. Alex likes Messina Hof Winery, William Chris Vineyards and a lot of other great wineries set up in Fredricksburg, Texas. One of our East Texas neighbors Los Pinos Ranch Vineyards - Pittsburg, TX just opened up a location down Fredricksburg area, which is exciting for the Texas Wine world! Alex talks about how Kiepersol embraces "competition" in our backyard, because it's more about the community growing together, rather than tearing each other down. We want people to have a great experience when they try Texas wine. By having more wineries show up, we will encourage each other to make a bottle of better wine, every vintage, every style, every time!  We look forward to having Alex back on the podcast to go more in-depth with some other wines and geek out over wine! kiepersol.com

  Lauren Alexander | ep 21 - Kiepersol Texas Podcast Lauren Alexander joined us in the Square of Downtown Tyler, Texas! Lauren grew up in Bullard, Tx and grew up playing music since she was a child! Lauren's parents were supportive of her as they had lots of instruments and equipment around all the time. Lauren started off playing country music and has evolved over the years! She now is an Americana singer and songwriter.  Lauren recommends visiting Tyler, Tx if you're wanting to visit a city that hasn't lost it's identity in the small town feel! Lauren reflects on how Tyler has grown and changed since she was a child! There are a lot more places to go experience live music and there is a growing culture of very talented musicians! In fact you can see/hear Meredith Crawford and Chris Rasco playing at an event in the Square, while we were recording the podcast! Meredith was on Episode 10 of the podcast if you wanted to learn more about her!  Lauren record an album about 5 years ago, but she has been in a place of singing, song writing and playing shows since! She is planning on releasing a new album towards the end of 2019. Lauren is a young mother, who is finding new inspiration for her music and work-life balance. She use to find inspiration for her music through traveling around and touring. She absolutely enjoys being a mother, which has created a whole new perspective on life! Lauren's creative process in making her music, starts off by using voice memos on her phone to talk out or establish lyrics first. Then she teams up with her husband, Richie, helps write the music to match the lyrics. Lauren has enjoyed playing music with Richie, which has freed up her creative space to be able to incorporate unique instruments into her music, such as the harmonica! If you haven't heard Lauren I'd highly suggest listening to her as she uses the harmonica so beautifully!  Lauren enjoys some of our Tyler Local Eats such as Stanley's Famous Pit Bar-B-Q and Cork. Food & Drink! She has played at both locations, but their food is great and well worth checking out if you're ever visiting us!  Michael actually met Lauren at Cork while she was hosting an Open Mic Night! Some people are a little apprehensive about going to a restaurant or bar that has an Open Mic Night. Lauren weighs in on the benefits and fun of attending and playing at Open Mic Nights. It's okay that people come up to play a song and it isn't very good. Success is built on failures. So if you're wanting to try out new songs, music, poetry, spoken word, etc, then find a local mic night and do you best! If you're wanting to hear some great local up and coming artists, attend these businesses that are hosting these events!

Emily Nance gives bartending tips for making cocktails at home ep 18 - Kiepersol Texas Podcast We are in the Distillery at Kiepersol where the Lead Bartendering, Emily, runs things and gives us some insight into making cocktails.  Emily has been in the service industry since 2012, starting off as a server. She would watch these mixologists at the bar make these crazy green and sour drinks that were served in martini glasses and tasted amazing. So she got a job at a Mexican restaurant where she started serving margaritas. She didn't learn much because it was a premixing margarita machine, but she got her foot in the door. After a little while, she managed to get a job at The Grove - Tyler where they taught mixology and bartending edict. Emily started there about 4 years ago, where she worked the speed bar and worked her way into the cocktail bar at The Grove.  The speed bar is designed for call drinks that servers can pick up or customer can walk up to and grab quickly mixed drinks. Such as Jack and Coke or a Screwdriver. Whereas the cocktail bar is designed to make specially crafted drinks that aesthetically are appealing and taste great with a complex experience. People who go to a cocktail bar expect that drinks take a little longer to make because it is about the experience. Most mixologists will take a few extra steps to give a presentation during the construction of the cocktail.  Emily gives some tips on constructing your own cocktail at home: 1) There are 4 basic elements or tastes you will experience when consuming a drink: Sweet, Salty, Sour & Savory (Bitter).      - When constructing a cocktail you want to balance the drink with at least 3 of these tasting experiences.            - The goal isn't to cancel certain flavors out, but rather to enhance each characteristic through the addition of another ingredient.  Example - Sweet & Sour elements are commonly mixed together, but they can easily overpower one another. Adding salt to the rim helps enhance each of the 3 elements.      - Example Cocktails: The Salty Dog - Vodka, Grapefruit juice & Salt Rim.          - Grapefruit is very citrusy and sour, the Vodka is often used straight, but can be blended with a sweet liqueur or flavor. Then you can use a simple syrup on the rim of the glass, then dip it into salt. So you have the sour, sweet and salty, which helps no one element overpowers the other.  2) When constructing a cocktail it is important to know which base spirit you're going to use and it's own natural characteristics. Not all cocktail recipes would be good if you change the base spirit.  - Bourbon or whiskey often have very distinct flavors that you don't always want to overpower or hide with a lot of ingredients, rather you want to enhance each flavor.  - Rum is often made from sugar, which makes a lot of rums tend to be sweeter. Playing to its natural sweetness can help create a well balanced and delicious cocktail.  - Vodka is pure alcohol that is diluted with water. It shouldn't have an odor or taste before it is cut with water. This is why most people prefer using vodka for mixed drinks. It allows you to have the most room to be creative and rely on other ingredients to add flavor and taste.  - We mentioned the Salty Dog earlier, if we were to replace vodka with rum, we would have a completely different drink and most people would think it tastes weird. The sweetness might overload the experience.  - Understanding the base spirit on its own, allows you to create experiences or experiment

 At the end of January 2019, we canned Flight for the second time! This second run is a smaller size than our first. We improved our design and got approval for distribution throughout Texas! This should be hitting store shelves soon and we can't be more excited! They will be sold in 4-packs or you might see them offered as some restaurants as a single can!  With a younger generation coming into the wine world market, we saw a trend and desire for canned wine for convenience. It's not every situation that you can take a bottle, corkscrew, and glasses with you. Now we're fully aware that many traditionalists prefer this method and that is perfectly fine! We will continue to bottle a lot most of our wine. However, this emerging market showed us there is a lot of interest in this product. So we looked at this market and saw that there is a great lack of quality wine in a can. Flight is our solution for people opening the finer moments in life!  We got our inspiration for the design from our local residents, the South African Guinea Fowl! We have a symbiotic relationship with these wonderful creatures, where they provide protection for our fruit and we, in turn, provide food and shelter for them! While they patrol our vineyard, they leave beautiful feathers for us to find, which provides a perfect logo for our can of Flight Sparkling Rosé. Let go of yesterday and take flight!  Kiepersol's motto is Love, Grow, Do! We believe in Loving our families, friends and guests. We grow as much as we possibly can and do our best to succeed! We were "green" before green was ever considered cool. This includes being debt-free as a company. We don't buy what we actually need, we only purchase what we simply can't live without.  This "Can-paign" is one of our first major projects at Kiepersol since the Founder, Pierre de Wet passed away. The other major project is a beautiful venue that overlooks our vineyard. Perfect for wedding, parties, and meetings at Kiepersol! This venue will be available later this year!  We recently collaborated with Spoetzl Brewery, Home of Shiner Beers to create a Shiner Beer Rosé Pale Ale! Spoetzl has been around for over 100 years and it's very iconic of Texas! They took 100 Kiepersol Barrels and aged their beer in them, giving that nice rosé taste. We then took Spoetzl Brewery's yeast and fermented our Vit Wine with it! We will be releasing a canned Kiepersol Fizzy Vit in stores throughout Texas in March! If you don't see the beer or the wine in stores, please ask for it. We want everyone to have the chance to buy both!  Come celebrate the new season at Kiepersol with us! We have our Waking of the Vines event coming up in March of 2019 and we invite you all to come to visit us as we see bud break!  If you have questions, comment below or visit our website or email us at social@kiepersol.com  Hosted by Michael Roth

 Ron Martin is a Texas Wine Specialist and a Texas Wine Lover! Ron didn't really start drinking wine until around 2010 when his doctor told him he needed to stop drinking beer. So Ron started his wine journey drinking Pinot Noirs, which is the lightest structure wine that he could tolerate at that time. Ron and his wife took a trip from in 2011 from Texas to Napa Valley and went to find the best Napa Pinot Noir. They enjoyed that trip so much they returned in 2012, however this time, Ron was introduced to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah. This began his understanding and appreciation for different styles of wines. In 2014, Ron and his wife downsized from their dream house to something much more comfortable for two people. Since he and his wife had begun this wine journey, they were introduced to Kiepersol Estates, which is surrounded by the vineyards of Kiepersol. The idea of living next to a winery, vineyard, restaurant and the neighborhood at Kiepersol helped influence their decision to move here! The morning of this podcast, Ron mentions that he saw everyone pruning the vines, which gives a sense of being emerged into the process. Once they were living at Kiepersol, it helped open Ron's eyes to the quality and variety to the Texas Wine Industry! Ron talks about how he and his wife, find some of the best Texas wines or wineries through a website Texas Wine Lover by Jeff Cope. Where they highlight some of the best Texas-specific wines, wineries, and destinations. This website is where you can see an interactive map of some of the best wineries, any Texas Winer Lover blog posts made about them, that winery's website and hours. This helps Ron to plan for 3-4 wineries a day when he goes to visit, to maximize opportunity and enjoyment. Ron visits the 290 corridor often, where there are Texas wineries between Johnson City, Tx and Fredericksburg, Tx. Which is how Ron has found some of the best wines in Texas. The other cool community and tool that Texas Wine Lover created that Ron uses to find Texas Wine is the Facebook Group - "Texas Wine Lover Website", which is meant for any Texan who loves wine can join! This group is dedicated sharing any great wine your enjoying or ask questions that don't necessarily have to be Texas-specific. This provides a lot of education as people share pictures of videos of their wine. This is how Ron and his wife have found out about a lot of wines or wineries that they didn't' even know existed. Some of the people in the group are well connected or know exactly who you need to talk to, in order to have the best experience while visiting some wineries. In many cases, because of people in the group giving suggestions to Ron and are connected to the winemakers, Ron has shown up to wineries with the winery staff is anticipating his arrival. These experiences are unlike anything else out there!

El Guapo Records | Ian Power Music ep 14 - Kiepersol Texas Podcast El Guapo Records located in the same building as Alex & Afton Vintedge in Tyler, Texas has some of the best vinyl, 8-track and cassettes in East Texas! Ian Power has been running the shop since November 2018, loves listening to music, however, he is a local East Texas Musician. Ian talks about the resurgence in the vinyl industry and how this medium of listening to music has become quite popular again, especially in the younger generations. Some Indie bands have released new music straight to cassette or vinyl because there is nothing like the sound you get going to those vintage mediums of music. With digital downloads, CDs are almost unthought of any more. Which has created a nostalgia and appreciate for Vinyl once again. There is something special about getting newly pressed or old vinyl records because they often come with pictographs or booklets that tell more of the story the musicians intended. Ian Power likes most music, however, he is a big fan of 60's and 70's psych rock, which you can see a lot of in his collection at the shop. Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Dr. John & the Nite Trippers, The Grateful Dead and some other weirder, but awesome bands as you go more into it! El Guapo has a lot of classics as well such as Ozzy Osbourne, Prince, David Bowie and just about every genre of music, including movie soundtracks on vinyl. El Guapo Records sells turntables, amps, vintage systems that will allow you to listen to these records or even your collection that might need a little dust wiped off! Not to mention local artist's CDs, El Guapo Records swag and other great merch as well! Whether you like vintage clothing or old vinyl, this is a one-stop opportunity! You can visit El Guapo Records 5304 Old Bullard Rd, Tyler, Texas You can find El Guapo Records on Facebook or @elguaporecordsco on Instagram.  Ian is in the process of getting an online shop set up, so that you can add to your collection. In the meantime, you can come to visit the shop, if you want to see what he has available. Ian Power talks about the music scene in East Texas and Tyler. Ian Power Music just released a new album, which he has been playing around at a few different shows. Ian is also apart of a Tyler band, Gorgeous Jetsons. At the end of 2018, all four Tyler bands put on a show that was the first of it's kind in East Texas. Gorgeous Jetsons, Road Keepers,
