Happy Birthday Kuhlman Cellars!

What an incredible ride it's been since October 3, 2014 when we opened the doors and officially launched Kuhlman Cellars: It hardly seems like it’s been four years!

 

It's funny how time and events evolve over the years.  When we opened, the rustic dirt entry road led our guests to the parking lot and the lone structure we now call ‘the barrel room’ had triple duty for wine production, storage and tasting room.  Vineyard infrastructure was still being installed such as irrigation piping, end posts and wire; while the rough "path" to the front door consisted circular paver stones from Home Depot! On that first highly anticipated Friday, we anxiously threw open the doors to welcome our guests... and well, no one came on that first day!  We realized that having a sign on 290 would be helpful, so that came a few weeks later.

 

Our winery vision and inspiration has been constant:  elevate the wine and hospitality experience of Texas wine.  We want to drive wine quality improvement and innovate an unparalleled tasting-experience.  I feel we’ve achieved (and continue to innovate) our goals on both fronts. More importantly, we've built a wonderful team committed to enhancing the community and sharing our passion for wine.  Vineyards take a lot of work and operate at the speed of life... as such, so do we.  We've built countless friendships, been a part of engagements & marriages, moves both long and short, life events, new jobs and expanding families: for that we are boundlessly grateful. 

Thank you to all who've been part of our story, because this is what it is all about:  community.  Wine is the center-piece of all that comes from motivated work and appreciation of the finer things.  It's not instant and it isn't easy, but the rewards are immeasurable.  In the end, we rediscover what matters the most when we slow down:  Family, Friends and Fellowship.
