National Rosé Wine Day 2023
2023-06-10 00:00 - 23:59 | TX
Let’s celebrate National Rosé Wine Day with a Bingham Rosé. This year we have a dry and a semi-sweet rosé.

Our High Plains Sunset Rosé is back again with a 2022 vintage. This wine is a a dry Mourvèdre rosé, fruit forward with notes of strawberry.

Buy 2022 High Plains Sunset rosé

This year, we are also offering you the choice of a semi-sweet rosé blend we are calling “Summer Nights”. It is red berry fruit forward wine, and a perfect patio wine when you are having a little spicier fare and want a touch of sweetness in your wine. When you pull out your chips and salsa, try this wine for your weekday relaxation.

Buy 2022 Summer Nights

If you would rather have a white wine for your patio fare, we have you covered there as well.

We have a new white wine blend, Peggy June, which is already a favorite for summer time with our friends. This wine is a semi-sweet blend of Gewürztraminer and Malvasia Bianca with floral notes with tropical flavors.

Peggy June is also know as Grancy. She is the grandmother of the family and known for her artistry, cooking, and hugs. Her support and encouragement are what ties the family together. You can read more about that wine with the link.

Buy 2022 Peggy June

And yes, for all you Gewürztraminer lovers, we have one back in stock after being without one for quite some time. As you all know, all of our wines are estate which means that we grew all of the grapes as well as vinted and bottled every one at our own winery. So at times, we are out of stock of one of our varietal wines or blends. But we do currently have a Gewürztraminer varietal wine that was grown and produced by our Bingham Team.

Buy 2022 Gewürztraminer

So, enjoy our summertime wines with confidence knowing not only where the grapes were grown and who made the wine, but that you are drinking quality 100% Texas wine.

By the way, in case you were wondering, yes, the tablecloth (actually I think that it is a sheet) in the first photo is a family heirloom, but not from the Bingham side of the family. It is from my (Betty’s) great-grandparents who were Bills thus the “B”. But it still works well for today.Blessings,Betty

Flavor Profile Wine Class at Bingham Family Vineyards Grapevine
2023-07-02 18:30 - 19:30 | Bingham Family Vineyards Grapevine, 620 S Main St, Grapevine, TX, 76051, United States
This wine education class is focused on discovering your palate and personalized flavor profile! Wine tasting is a fascinating journey that allows us to explore our senses and preferences. In this class, we’ll cover the basics of wine tasting and help you understand your own palate better. Throughout the class, we’ll engage in interactive tastings, discussions, and exercises to enhance your understanding and appreciation of wine.

Remember, tasting wine is a subjective experience, so embrace your own unique preferences and enjoy the exploration of your palate!

This class will be available on most first, second, and third Sundays each month at 6:30 pm.

This class will focus each month on a different aspect of our wine profile quiz to help you discover which wines to explore next. Those aspects include sweetness, intensity, fruit, oak, spice, floral, acidity, and minerality. So, take the class each month to learn more about tasting wine.

The month of July will focus on “sweetness”. Sweetness in wine is called residual sugar. Residual sugar is the unfermented grape sugars left over in the wine after fermentation has completed. There is a very wide range of sweetness in wine, which starts at absolutely nothing – 0 grams per liter – to 600 grams per liter.

But there is also a perception on the part of the taster that the wine is sweet even when the residual sugar is none. Learn more about the concept of sweetness in wine while exploring 100% Texas grown wines produced by the Bingham team.

Choose your Wines by flavor

There is no app to download, you will view the quiz in a web page which will take you directly to the wines you choose on our web site for easy purchase whether you choose to pickup at one of our locations or have them shipped to you.

With Bingham estate wines, the choice is yours.

How can Bingham have so many choices of great white wine? It is because we grow ten white grape varieties: Albariño, Gewürztraminer, Malvasia Bianca, Marsanne, Moscato Giallo, Roussanne, Sémillon, Trebbiano, Vermentino, and Viognier.

I included our two rose’ wines in this photo for you to consider for your summer drinking in hot weather as well as all of our white wines. There is also a bottle of our unreleased Reserve Semillon. But the rest of the wines are currently available for our club members, and many to all of our friends.

We have oaked as well as unoaked whites. Some of our white wines are oaked to develop a deep level of richness with lingering notes of vanilla and spice. While some of our white wines are stainless steel aged to retain their high level of acidity and fruit flavor.

The choice is yours at Bingham.

The choice is also yours how you decide on your choices.

First if you already know what wine you like, order here from our web site to have it shipped to your door.

Another good way to explore Texas wine is to visit one of our three (soon to be four) locations, and have our team tell you more about our wines as you taste to learn what your preferences are. You can make a reservation as well to ensure your pleasant experience.

Fruit for August

The month of September will focus on “fruit”. Wine flavors come from aroma compounds —stereoisomers, as scientists call them— that are released during fermentation. This is why when you smell wine, the alcohol volatilizes (evaporates into the air) and carries these lighter-than-air aroma compounds into your nose.

Each wine can contain hundreds of different aroma compounds and each compound can have a different effect on the wine’s flavor. Our brains have multiple response to one stereoisomer. For example, the lychee fruit flavor in Gewürztraminer can also smell like roses.

Learn more about the concept of fruit in wine while exploring 100% Texas grown wines produced by the Bingham team.

Oak for October

The month of October will focus on “oak”. Exploring the influence of oak in wine is a fascinating journey that can greatly enhance your understanding and appreciation of wine. Oak aging is a winemaking technique that can impart a wide range of aromas, flavors, and textures to the final product.

Understanding how to identify these oak-related characteristics on the palate is a valuable skill for wine enthusiasts and professionals. When tasting wine, you can look for these notes by paying attention to the wine’s aroma, taste, and mouthfeel. Swirling the wine in your glass and taking the time to savor it can help you detect these subtle nuances.

Learn more about the concept of oak in wine while exploring 100% Texas grown wines produced by the Bingham team.

The Music

There will be four live performances across the two days including Classic Rewind, The Anthony Garcia Band, Josh Klaus and Bubba Coltrane and The Train Wrecks. Known for their incredible guitar solos, Classic Rewind is a pop classic rock band that covers music that spans from the 60’s on.

The Anthony Garcia Band, led by Anthony Garcia a Texas native, is a classically trained pianist that performs music described as “Cinematic Americana,” a genre that interweaves Garcia’s love of rock, blues, classical piano and Spanish Guitar.

Based in Austin, Texas, Josh Klaus has been performing live for well over 20 years covering just about everything – – brand new, super old, fast, slow, male, female, pop, rock, R&B, soul and country.

The headlining band on Sunday is Bubba Coltrane and The Train Wrecks, a fiery, horn-infused rock band formed out of the diverse music scene of Austin, Texas. Now a seven piece band that sports a two guitar attack, a bull fiddle, a guy named Bob banging on the drums, and a three piece, misfit horn section – they’re guaranteed to make you have a good time.
