Saddlehorn Winery

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

I enjoyed visiting and tasting the newest winery on the scene in Washington County:  Saddlehorn!  The owners of Saddlehorn are interesting, informative and have built a top notch sophisticated winery production/tasting barn with lots of granite, glass, stainless barrels and Texas furniture.  This winery is located not  too far from the ranch and is situated on beautiful country property between Brenham and Burton.  I can home with 2 bottles for  our sipping pleasure:  “Barn Red” and “Happy Trails White”!  You must make this a stop on your next wine tour of the Bluebonnet Wine Trail and add a stay at the ranch while here!

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

The summer brought on the grasshoppers and leaf cutters but the gardens  transitioned beautifully from Spring to Summer producing zinnias, gladiolus, sweet peas, roses, flowering basils, incredible cardoon blossoms, and so much  more.  Our  vegetable gardens at the B&B were chock  full of cucumbers, squash, thyme, fennel, colorful swiss chard, bell peppers, basil, yellow and red tomatoes.  We spied this fun cucumber that we had missed that was now firmly entrenched in the landscaping timbers!  What were your gardens like this summer?

Our gardens at the ranch are worked year round so that we and our guests can enjoy being outside and the wild birds have plenty of food, water, hiding places and nesting material!  We had a great flush  this past Spring after the hard freezes of the winter helped put nature back in balance with growth patterns, weeds and bugs.  We use of a lot of the flowers, herbs and fruits in our cooking classes and food preparation.  There is nothing better than “farm fresh”.  We encourage all our guests and cooking class participants to use anything they can find locally and fresh from the farmers markets and meat markets…..Some great photos of some of  our flowers and herbs: (more…)
