National Red Wine Day - 2024
2024-08-28 00:00 - 23:59 (America/Chicago) | TX
Celebrate the day with Bingham Family Vineyards Texas Wine

August 28, 2024

The informative wine web site “Wine Folly” reminds us that August 28, 2024, is to be celebrated as National Red Wine Day. A great day for exploring the wide range of red grapes grown in the Texas High Plains AVA.

Celebrating National Red Wine Day with estate Texas wines from Bingham Family Vineyards is a delightful way to honor this special occasion. Located in the Texas High Plains AVA, Bingham Family Vineyards offers a diverse selection of red wines crafted from grapes grown in our own vineyards. This region’s unique climate and soil conditions produce exceptional wines that reflect the distinct characteristics of each grape variety. For a robust and classic choice, you can enjoy our 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, known for its rich flavors of dark fruits and hints of oak, making it a perfect pairing with grilled meats or hearty stews. Or our classic 2019 Dugout which is red Bordeaux style blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, and Cabernet Franc. This oak aged for two years wine is bold and complex like the frontier.

Texas Dolcetto and Texas Graciano Wine

For those looking to explore something unique, the vineyard’s Dolcetto or Graciano wines provide an exciting departure from more common varieties. Dolcetto, typically found in Italian wines, offers bright fruit flavors and a smooth finish, ideal for sipping on a warm Texas evening. Graciano, a lesser-known Spanish grape, brings a spicy and aromatic profile that pairs wonderfully with spicy dishes or aged cheeses. These wines showcase the versatility and innovation of Bingham Family Vineyards in cultivating a wide array of grape varieties that thrive in the Texas climate.

Bingham grows twelve red wine grapes including Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Dolcetto, Graciano, Merlot, Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tannat, Tempranillo. and Teroldego. Making each into a varietal wines as the grapes are available as well as blending those to make some traditional as well as some Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Dolcetto, Graciano, Merlot, Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tannat, Tempranillo. and Teroldego. Texas wine blends.

Texas Tempranillo and Texas Merlot Wine

No celebration of National Red Wine Day would be complete without sampling the vineyard’s Tempranillo and Merlot. Tempranillo, with its deep, earthy flavors, and smooth tannins, is a staple of Spanish winemaking that has found a second home in Texas. It’s a perfect match for barbecued dishes and Tex-Mex cuisine. Meanwhile, Merlot offers a softer, fruit-forward experience with notes of plum and cherry, making it an excellent choice for those new to red wines or looking for a versatile option to pair with a variety of foods. By celebrating with Bingham Family Vineyards’ wines, you not only enjoy high-quality, locally-produced wines but also support a family-owned business dedicated to sustainable and innovative winemaking practices.

New Label Designs for Bingham Family Vineyards

You many notice a few new label designs in the array in the photo above. We have our flagship label with Grancy’s farm scene drawing on it as well as our black and gold reserve wine label. But we now have our special labels for our Blake Eddie Scholarship dry red wine which is a wine and label exclusive to HEB, as well as a new label design exclusively for our wine to be sold at Costco. We have two new releases to be sold at Costco at the new Costco in Tomball, Texas. We have two new releases to be sold there. One being our “Texas Tribute” which is a Tempranillo red wine blend. There will also be a white wine blend called “Texas Sunshine” which is a white wine blend with Roussanne. More on that in an upcoming post. We also have a new label that will be used on our wine blends sold in other retail store. Can’t wait to see that one, right?

Cliff Bingham visits Costco, Tomball, Texas

The Dirt Farmer (Cliff Bingham) will be at the Tomball location to talk Texas wine on Thursday, August 29th through Sunday, September 1st, through out the day.

We are happy that our wines are becoming available in more places for our friends to acquire them as well as the convenience of having those wines shipped directly to your home or office. Enjoy a Bingham Texas wine today.

Celebrate International Merlot Day: A Toast to Texas Wine
2024-11-07 00:00 - 23:59 | TX
Raise a Glass toInternational Merlot Day

Every year on November 7th, wine lovers unite to celebrate International Merlot Day—a day dedicated to honoring one of the world’s most approachable, versatile red wines. Merlot is beloved for its smooth texture, fruity flavors, and broad appeal, making it an ideal choice for both casual wine drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts. This year, what better way to celebrate than with the award-winning Bingham Family Vineyards 2019 Merlot, a standout from Texas’ up-and-coming wine scene?

Order Six bottles to have Shipping included

Merlot’s Signature Charm

Merlot has long been appreciated for its rich, fruit-forward flavors. Named after the French word for “blackbird” (a nod to its deep, dark color), Merlot often carries notes of ripe plum, cherry, and blackberry, with hints of chocolate, vanilla, or even spice. While it’s famously used in Bordeaux blends, Merlot shines on its own too. Depending on where it’s grown, Merlot can range from soft and light-bodied to bold and structured, making it a wonderfully versatile wine that can appeal to many palates.

Merlot’s accessibility is a major part of its charm. It’s smooth, with gentle tannins, making it easy to sip on its own or pair with a wide variety of foods. From charcuterie boards and roast chicken to rich pasta dishes and chocolate desserts, Merlot’s balance of acidity and fruitiness makes it a reliable partner at the table.

Texas Merlot: A Growing Star

Texas may not be the first place you think of when it comes to wine, but its unique terroir has produced some truly impressive bottles in recent years. The Texas High Plains, with its sunny days and cool nights, provides ideal conditions for grape growing, and Merlot thrives here. Bingham Family Vineyards, one of the state’s leading producers, has perfected the art of Texas winemaking. Their 2019 Merlot captures the heart of Texas with its lush flavors of cherry, plum, and a touch of oak.

The Bingham Family Vineyards 2019 Merlot has earned its accolades, such as Texas Reserve Class Champion at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, for a reason. This wine offers a balance of vibrant fruit, smooth tannins, and an elegant finish, making it a true delight for Merlot lovers. It’s a great pick for celebrating International Merlot Day, giving you a taste of Texas craftsmanship and innovation.

How to Celebrate International Merlot Day

On this Merlot-themed day, why not gather friends for a tasting? Try comparing Merlots from different regions, such as Bordeaux, California, and Texas, to explore how terroir influences the flavor profile. Or, if you’re cooking up a meal, pair it with a bottle of Merlot. The Bingham Family Vineyards 2019 Merlot is a fantastic choice that pairs well with dishes like grilled lamb, mushroom risotto, or dark chocolate desserts.

Merlot Day is a perfect excuse to enjoy a great glass of wine, appreciate its history, and explore something new. So, grab a bottle of Merlot—perhaps the Bingham Family Vineyards 2019—and raise a glass to this beloved grape that has captivated the world over. Cheers to Merlot!

Celebrating Tempranillo Day: A Tribute to Spain’s Iconic Grape—and Texas’ Rising Star

Tempranillo Day is a fantastic time for wine lovers to celebrate the bold flavors and heritage of this classic Spanish grape. Known for its versatility, Tempranillo is widely revered in its home country of Spain, where it forms the backbone of Rioja and Ribera del Duero wines. This annual celebration, championed by TAPAS (Tempranillo Advocates, Producers, and Amigos Society), can be marked on November 9th or on International Tempranillo Day, observed on the second Thursday in November. This year that would be the 14th. For more on these dates, Wine Folly offers insights on the history and spread of Tempranillo worldwide, including here in the United States at Wine Folly or read her two minutes summary.

Tempranillo: From Spain to Texas

Tempranillo is celebrated for its deep red fruit flavors, earthiness, and hints of tobacco and spice. Wine Folly describes it as a “medium- to full-bodied wine with rich, ruby color and balanced tannins,” a profile that makes it well-suited for various cuisines and occasions. While its roots are in Spain, Tempranillo has also thrived in Texas, where it’s crafted into wines that bring a unique perspective to this heritage grape. Texas’ sunny climate and high-elevation vineyards in the Texas High Plains allow the grape to develop its signature richness and complexity.

Texas Tempranillo has been gaining recognition, showcasing that this classic grape can thrive outside of Spain’s borders. One standout example is the 2019 Bingham Family Vineyards Tempranillo, which highlights the rich potential of Texas terroir. Known for our dedication to sustainable farming and high-quality winemaking, Bingham Family Vineyards captures the essence of Tempranillo, giving it a Texas twist.

We are also well know for our Tempranillo red wine blend call Dirt Farmer. Our 2019 Dirt Farmer has been a top favorite with our customers.

Bingham Family Vineyards 2019 Tempranillo: A Texas Gem

The Bingham Family Vineyards 2019 Tempranillo is an excellent choice for Tempranillo Day. This vintage expresses the balance of bold fruit, earthiness, and smooth tannins that Tempranillo lovers seek, with flavors of ripe cherry, plum, and subtle spice. Crafted from Texas High Plains grapes, it carries a distinctly Texan character, with a vibrancy and structure that make it perfect for pairing with a variety of foods.

Bingham Family Vineyards has earned a solid reputation for producing wines that truly represent the Texas terroir as our 2019 Tempranillo stands out for its depth and smooth finish, capturing the spirit of Texas viticulture and the essence of Tempranillo itself.

How to Celebrate Tempranillo Day

Whether you celebrate on November 9th or the second Thursday in November, there are many ways to enjoy Tempranillo:

Host a Tempranillo Tasting: Compare Tempranillos from different regions—Spain, Texas, and California—to experience how terroir influences the grape’s profile. The 2019 Bingham Family Vineyards Tempranillo is an ideal addition, bringing a bold Texan interpretation to the lineup.

Prepare a Spanish-Inspired Feast: Tempranillo is a natural match for Spanish cuisine, including tapas like chorizo, jamón, and Manchego cheese. Make it a night to honor Tempranillo’s origins with these classic dishes.

Pair with Texas-Style BBQ: For a Texan twist, pair Bingham’s Tempranillo with smoky BBQ or grilled meats. The wine’s boldness and structure hold up well to rich flavors.

Tempranillo Day is an opportunity to appreciate not just the history of this remarkable grape but also its exciting potential in new wine regions like Texas. So raise a glass of Tempranillo, whether it’s from Rioja or the Texas High Plains, and celebrate the legacy and future of this exceptional grape. Cheers to Tempranillo!Blessings,Betty
