New Texas Winery Opens in Hill Country by William Chris and Lost Draw | Eater Austin

"This month the teams behind William Chris Vineyards and Lost Draw Cellars opened a new vineyard and tasting room called Uplift Vineyard in Burnet: I learned that Chris Brundrett (William Chris Vineyards), Andrew Sides (Lost Draw), and their staff will focus on estate wines made only from grapes grown on the Texas Hill Country AVA property, offered as single-varietals and blends. For the fall they’ll showcase Bordeaux-style wines, including cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec, and a Bordeaux blend. The tasting room is open by reservation Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., at $50 per person, there is a wine club, and the property (previously called Hoover Valley) was purchased by Brundrett and Sides in 2021; Uplift operates under the William Chris Vine Company, which they started in 2020." - Nadia Chaudhury
