2012 TX Wine Lover AwardsA Land of Cattle, Cotton & Cabernet Posted on August 13, 2012 by Woodrow House Bed & Breakfast A Land of Cattle, Cotton & Cabernet http://woodrowhousebb.wordpress.com/ What would a proper girls’ weekend be without a serious adult beverage? I had the answer & a very specific destination in mind for my friends when they spent a fun weekend at Woodrow House Bed & Breakfast – Cap*Rock Winery (which ironically, is located on Woodrow Road just south of Lubbock, Texas).
Surprised? Many visitors to our area find the existence of an award-winning winery here on the High Plains of Texas a huge surprise. After all, most folks think of South Texas as the go-to region for palatable Texas wines. What they don’t realize is the majority of grapes grown in the state come from the Lubbock area. “The hot & cold climate of this area is important to the sugar levels in grapes grown for wine,” according to my good friend, Charles Yancey, who is the Tasting Room Manager for Cap*Rock. “Our long, hot days, followed by cooler nighttime temperatures create a balance between sugar & acidity.” He added that approximately 75% of Texas wine grapes are grown in our area. Not bad for a region known more for cotton, corn & cattle. According to the High Plains Wine Growers Association web page, this region has more than 3,700 planted acres, including more than 75 wine grape varieties. The Association is in it’s inaugural year, having been founded just last March with the goal of promoting awareness of the superior quality of High Plains wine grapes, advancing community awareness of the industry to the local economy & the quality of life on the High Plains of Texas, assuring a healthy social & political environment & striving to maximize the quality of High Plains grapes. If you’ve never lived in an agricultural setting, it’s easy to underestimate its importance as a business enterprise. With drought continuing to be a major problem for producers struggling to grow more traditional crops, grapes are proving to be a favorable alternative, as they require less water & land. WINERY HISTORY The Cap*Rock Winery was actually founded in 1988 & was christened Teysha Cellars. Four years later, the name was changed to Cap*Rock when ownership changed hands. The next few years showed a glimmer of what could be, but times were turbulent, & the fledgling business fought for a foothold in the Texas wine scene. Fate intervened when Catherine Bodenstedt fired up Google to find an investment firm with a similar name & found a hit detailing a public auction of the winery. After one failed bid, & the subsequent failure of the initial bid by another buyer, she submitted a second, sealed bid. Next thing she knew, she was the new owner of a winery & it was almost harvest season. She can proudly claim it is one of the largest female-owned wineries in the state, & she now makes Lubbock her home, after almost 25 years in San Antonio.
Cap*Rock Wine Barrels Her keen business sense is well served by a team of professionals who bring decades of experience to Cap*Rock’s talent pool. Phillip Anderson holds the post of General Manager & Michael Vorauer claims the lead role of Wine Maker. There also is a sales team that is working diligently in Houston, West Texas, Dallas & Central Texas to spread the word about Cap*Rock’s fabulous wines, get them onto retail shelves & into homes for patrons to enjoy. Overall, the Winery employs eight full-time & 10 part-time positions. It takes every single person to create the wonderful atmosphere that guests encounter when they walk through the huge double doors.
Charles Yancey, center, serves guests in the Cap*Rock Tasting Room. Of course Charles works his magic in the Tasting Room, but I’ll talk more about that a little later. He assumed his role at Cap*Rock a mere two years ago & wasn’t a wine drinker when he started. He credits Phillip’s expertise & his daughter Leah for fostering a deep appreciation for wine. “I believe that I have found my perfect job, & I don’t mean that because I am allowed to have a drink with our customers, but that I am doing what I love to do: visit with people & try to pass on some knowledge I have learned &, at the same time, learn from that same customer with whom I have the privilege of raising a glass of Cap*Rock Wine.” TASTING ROOM & FACILITIES Charles undoubtedly gave our little group a VIP experience on the Saturday we visited Cap*Rock. Before we descended on the Winery, we parked near the large entrance sign, piled out of the car & posed for the obligatory group photo.
We jumped back into the car, drove through an impressive tree-lined entry (if you know much about the Lubbock region, any tree-lined vista is scarce & something to behold) & officially parked with the other visitors. The Winery is fronted by beautiful mission style architecture & includes a majestic sculpture of a Native American brave offering grapes to an unseen spirit.
Cap*Rock Entrance Coincidentally, the entrance was recently named the 2012 TX Wine Lover Awards Best Entrance & Tasting Room. You can read the entire article by visiting www.caprockwinery.com & clicking on the Media tab. Facilities include a barrel reception hall that can accommodate up to 250 people, a bridal suite, large tasting room, 14-foot ceilings, stone fireplace, large lighted outdoor patio, full catering kitchen, graciously appointed interior furnishings, 11 foot HD projection screen, professional sound system, & much more. The feel of the Tasting Room has always reminded me of a plush lodge – it’s warm & so welcoming. When you walk up to the bar of the Tasting Room, you immediately feel like you are among friends. The traditional tasting is $10 per person & allows each guest to select up to seven wines. Categories include white, blush & red wines. Each member of the tour received a souvenir glass etched with the Cap*Rock logo, & Charles proceeded to demonstrate the durability of the stem by bouncing it on the counter (please do not try this at home, all stunts were performed by a highly trained professional). “I’ve seen a glass get knocked over, hit the counter, fall to the floor & bounce without breaking,” he noted. I’m going to admit that I volunteered to play designated driver for our visit – an idea that every guest needs to take into account when participating in a tasting at any venue. I can’t say I enjoyed sitting on the sidelines as my friends were trying each variety, but I had quite a bit more experience with my fondness of Cap*Rock offerings.
Cap*Rock Selections In listening to the girls talk about their favorites, the Orange Muscat 2010 was a hit with one friend who didn’t have a great deal of experience with wine in general.
Karen Wright explaining the art of swirling. The technical sheet for this wine describes the tasting notes as, “Creamy, luxurious & sweet. This wine opens with the aroma of orange blossoms. There’s no missing the orange in this Orange Muscat. The balance between the sweetness & the acidity makes this one of our best loved wines.” If you are tempted to give this one a try, Cap*Rock suggests it be paired with soft cheeses, creamy desserts, or for a decadent delight, pair it with chocolate. Charles even suggested that the wine could be served as a shot. To this wine’s credit, it finished in the 2012 Lone Star International Wine Competition with Grand Star Award/Gold
Schakolad Ganache Another friend fell in love with the Legacy Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 – mainly because Charles paired it with a delicious chocolate ganache that is made with the wine as a key ingredient. Cap*Rock sends bottles of wine to Schakolad Chocolate Factory in Amarillo, where the ganache is made, & then it is shipped back to the Winery, where it is sold exclusively. It can be purchased for $1.25 per piece or in packages of three, six, nine & 12.
Diana Glover Gatlin enjoying the Legacy Cab. The Legacy Cab, as it’s known, was awarded the 2012 Lone Star International Wine Competition Silver Medal. The wine was held for three years in a combination of French & American oak barrels, allowing it to develop its luxurious texture. Deep garnet in color, this wine opens up big with mixed berry aromas & spice. It finishes smooth & the velvety texture is full of dark chocolate, black cherry & plum. The ideal pairing for this wine includes grilled rib eye steak & baked potato, leg of lamb & robust pasta dishes. My friend said she was just fine in a corner with a full bottle & a bag of the chocolate. “What else do you need in life,” was her reply. According to Charles, the most popular white wine is the Roussanne 2010. Tasting notes state the Roussanne is becoming one of Texas’ best white grapes. A dry white wine with an exotic bouquet & a depth of fruit flavors. This wine is creamy & shows a slightly nutty aroma, which gives way to honeyed richness on the palate. To achieve the distinctive taste, 60 gallons of the lot were aged for one day in new medium toast oak barrel, yielding the vanilla & nutty aroma. The soft sweetness comes from 0.7% Roussanne natural grape juice held as “Sweet Reserve,” which was added back to the wine before bottling. Suggested dishes that compliment this wine include creamy sauces, chicken, pork,and grilled fish.
Kathy SoRelle showing full appreciation to her selections. This year alone, the Roussanne has been awarded the Dallas Morning News & TexSom Wine Competition Gold Medal, Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo International Wine Competition Silver Medal & Lone Star International Wine Competition Silver Medal. The most popular Cap*Rock wine is, hands down, the Blush Royale, which is described as having a color reminiscent of a pink sunset. The bouquet is aromatic, bursting with tropical fruit flavors, melon, pear & a hint of soft rose petals. According to specs, it is a blend of eight different grape varietals including: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Syrah, Ruby Cabernet & Grenache. The Blush goes great with salty finger foods, hamburgers & spicy Asian dishes. The Blush awards for this year include the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo International Wine Competition Texas Grand Reserve Champion, Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo International Wine Competition Silver Medal, Denver International Wine Competition Double Gold, Dallas Morning News & TexSom Wine Competition Bronze Medal & Lone Star International Wine Competition Bronze Medal. If you want to read more about all the wines, again visit Cap*Rock’s website & click on the Media tab. You’ll be able to select the spec sheets & award information for the 11 wines that have netted 27 major awards in the past nine months. TOUR
Vineyard Arch With glasses in hand, Charles next escorted our group outside, where we first took a look at a small area where new vines had been planted. They resulted from Cap*Rock’s “Our Wines – Your Vines” event, which allowed patrons to be a part of the wine making process by planting a Malbec vine & naming it after themselves, a loved one or a cause. Subsequently, they will be able to watch their vine grow & be among the first to try the fruits of their labor with an option to purchase the first vintage in approximately four years. This area includes an arched pathway, where I could easily envision a bride strolling to the alter. I definitely want to go back & track the progress of the little vineyard growing on the three acres where the Winery sits.
Kathy SoRelle, Becky McLellan Mays, Karen Wright & Diana Glover Gatlin in the gondolas (left to right). We then had fun standing in the gondolas that will eventually hold harvested grapes. They stood empty & pristine when we were there, but harvest time is almost here. The way Charles describes the process, it almost sounds like a sporting event. At the very least, it is intense. Grapes are picked after midnight, in the coolness of the night air & are transported to the Winery gondolas by 7 a.m. They are dumped into an auger, where debris is culled from the crop (apparently this can include everything from pliers to snakes – ooky). They then go into the press by 7:30 to 8:00 a.m. This is all done quickly, as grapes begin to ferment immediately when they get warm. At this point, the winemaker takes over & the magic begins (along with a lot of complicated science).
Charles explaining the auger process. We re-entered the 26,000 square-foot facility, where we viewed huge vats & proceeded through the bottling area – including everything from how corks are inserted into the bottles to how labels are adhered.
Attempted Theft!
Caught! During our tour, a wedding party was preparing for an evening wedding, so we were able see the hall set for the reception. We were also lucky enough to watch a photo session focused on the bride & her attendants (she was visibly nervous, so it was a pleasure to assure her how beautiful she was in her dress).
Wedding Photo Shoot We finished our tour, which typically takes 45 minutes, on a shaded verandah, where Charles served us fruit, cheese & crackers, while we lounged in the warm summer breeze. I’m sure this beautiful area was where the actual wedding ceremony would soon take place. It was a serene, beautiful space – an atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of the Lubbock region – rustic, yet tinged by a certain sense of Texas elegance.
Cap*Rock Patio Entrance
Cap*Rock Patio Seating SPECIAL EVENTS For anyone who believes wineries are only for high-brow events, please do yourself a favor & attend one of the many events scheduled at Cap*Rock. It will change your mind about your perceptions of wine lovers. Probably one of the biggest events of the year is the Harvest Festival & Grape Stomp, which is slated for August 25th. Patrons literally have the opportunity to jump into a gondola & squish grapes (none of this juice is used in the wine-making process). They also receive a tye-dyed t-shirt & can sample the wares of several food vendors. Other events include Comedy Night, which is held every fourth Wednesday from 8-10 p.m.. Admission is $20 & includes one drink. During warm weather, live music is featured each Sunday from 1:30-4:30 p.m. Scheduled performers can be found on the website under the Events tab. Wine classes are scheduled periodically, as are various holiday events. If you would like to host a special event at Cap*Rock, please download the Facility Rental Information Packet found under the Events tab. I’m not going to pretend that I totally understand the ins & outs of wine growing & production, but after my research, I’m almost ready to stake a few vines & hope to recreate that famous scene from I Love Lucy! What I do know is Cap*Rock is a beautiful & fun place to visit, & their wines are beyond compare! Woodrow House Bed & Breakfast would be more than happy to arrange limo service to & from the Winery for tours. That way all members of your party can enjoy the tour, without the need for a designated driver. Please call us for prices & availability in advance of your planned visit Life is a cabernet old friend!

Executive Chef Leah Yancey, Lubbock High and Texas Tech grad, works on Cap*Rock Winery's July Wine Dinner.
Leah Yancey wanted to be a veterinarian as long as she could remember while growing up in Lubbock. A career in the kitchen wasn’t even a thought. “I had an Easy Bake oven and I burned everything,” said the executive chef at Cap*Rock winery, who now specializes in delicious desserts, such as the Pear Symphony she made for Cap*Rock’s Italian wine dinner last month or a chocolate fondant cake with an orange ginger sauce. Her career path changed her senior year at Lubbock High School, when Yancey struggled for months with vertigo. While recovering, she was watching a television show on animal surgery and decided being a vet may not be the right choice. The thought of losing a patient was not acceptable. While visiting her grandmother in Oklahoma who made cobblers, jams and cakes, she asked for lessons.

Rusty Hendrick takes a moment to smell the aromas of his wine during Italian Wine Dinner.
Phillip Anderson doesn’t want to get a cellar palate. Keeping his palate sharp is not the only reason Cap*Rock winery has resumed monthly wine dinners. In July, Leah Yancey, Caprock’s executive chef, created an Italian menu and Anderson matched eight wines for the evening. Half the wines were Cap*Rock’s, the other four were from Italy. “If you’re only drinking your wines, you can get cellar palate,” said Anderson, the winery’s general manager, who has an advanced certificate from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. Two of the Cap*Rock wines, Toscano Bianco and Toscano Rosso, had just been bottled and were not yet available to buy. A week from Thursday, the winery will repeat the concept, but with a Spanish theme. Expect a Cap*Rock Tempranillo to be one of the wines served to celebrate Spain.

Cap*Rock Winery owner Cathy Bodenstedt, general manager Phillip Anderson and Executive Chef Leah Yancey sat down last week to share tips on what you need to know about pairing wines with food: Anderson: “The first thing is drink wine you like with food you like and you’ll be OK.” Bodenstedt: “It’s like art ... there’s a lot of pressure from so-called experts of what you’re supposed to like. It’s subjective and you can’t let peer pressure tell you what you should like and not.” Yancey: “Everyone’s palate is different and everyone sees a rainbow a different way.” Anderson: “The old rules were white with fish and red with beef. Now, the weight of the wine and weight of the food should be approximate. With tilapia you’d want a white or rose. But with salmon, a Pinot Noir and Tempranillo would work because of the fat in the fish. Grilling or roasting chicken gives it heavier weight and you could use a lighter red.” READ More:http://lubbockonline.com/life/2012-07-31/pairing-wines-about-what-you#.UBrjgUQxVKZ Ag Agents take a horticulture tour to CapRock Winery
 "Different grapes grow better in different soil," Anderson said. "One thing, people tend to be surprised that we grow grapes so well out here and I think it's because they have this idea of growing them in perfect soil. And that's bad because the truth is you can grow grapes in potting soil with perfect light and perfect water and you'd get grapes. They just wouldn't be very good to make wine." Extremely high temperatures in the summer time are actually a good thing when it comes to plant stress for grapevines, a concept that is opposite from most traditional crops.

2012 TX Wine Lover Awards 2 July 2012
http://txwinelover.com/2012/07/texas-wine-caprock-winery/ Last year's TX Wine Lover Awards was a fun hit with consumers and wineries alike, so we had to do another set of awards for this year. Hence, the 2012 TX Wine Lover Awards Best Tasting RoomCap*Rock Winery (http://www.caprockwinery.com). After visiting more wineries in the past year, we have a new winner this year for best tasting room. In our opinion, the tasting room should be large enough to handle a group of people without feeling crowded, have a nice décor, and especially if you stay longer to drink a glass of wine a nice comfortable place to do so. There certainly are a lot of nice tasting rooms, but our winner this year is Cap*Rock Winery. After tasting you can sit in some very comfy couches and chairs to enjoy a glass of wine. In the cold weather, there’s a fireplace to warm you and in the summer, there is outdoor patio seating.2012 TX Wine Lover Awards2012 TX Wine Lover AwardsBest EntranceCap*Rock Winery (http://www.caprockwinery.com). Last year’s winner of Best Entrance was Fall Creek Vineyards (http://www.fcv.com) and they still were very much in contention for this year. What we like about Cap*Rock Winery is you have a great entrance and looking down the road you can see the beautiful winery right at the end. If you make a trip to Lubbock, do not miss the great entrance and winery. 2012 TX Wine Lover Awards2012 TX Wine Lover Awards Friday, June 22, 2012Texas Wine: CapRock Winery Makes A Comeback
CapRock Winery in Lubbock By now we all know that the Napa Valley of Texas is the Hill Country—at least in appearance. The winding roads that bend around ranches and homesteads and lanscapes of live oak mots and cedar-post fences. And every now and then, you come upon rows and rows of vineyard. Of course, it’s on a significantly smaller scale than the vineyards you see in Napa. And if you judge by the amount of wine many of these wineries are selling, you can quickly estimate that there’s no possible way these vineyards are supplying all of the juice these wineries need to fill these bottles. And you would be right. As we’ve discussed before, the Hill Country is where people GO to see vineyards, but the High Plains (near Lubbock) is where most of the grapes are actually grown for Texas wine. (And California, too. But that’s an entirely different story.) Unless you’re from that area, or unless you’re a die-hard Texas Tech University Red Raider fan, chances are, you probably don’t make it up to the High Plains very often. Roussanne Reserve in May 2012 and Llano Estacado’s 1836 Red Table Wine for June 2012.) And while CapRock Winery has certainly been around for a while in Texas—it was originally Teysha Cellar in 1988 and later named CapRock Winery in 1992—the winery itself, as well as the wines, have had a rather rocky story throughout most of its life. That was until it almost literally fell into the lap of Catherine Bodenstedt in July of 2010, when she purchased CapRock in a public auction. “It was sort of a fluke,” says Bodenstedt. “I didn’t have any expertise but for people that like wine, this is one of those dreams you have. It was certainly not planned, but it’s been a nice surprise.” Bodenstedt moved from her home in San Antonio to the Lubbock area and jumped straight into the role of winery owner. Of course, it didn’t hurt that she had a very capable general manager, Phillip Anderson who had already been with the winery for some time as well as winemaker Michael Vorauer who was keen to turn CapRock Winery around as one of the premier wineries of Texas. “Most of the plan had to do with deciding what to do with inherited wine,” says Bodenstedt who was eager to get started with a blank slate of new wines from CapRock but soon found there were a lot of details to organize first. “The first harvest we had was in 2010 and we had a consultant help us with those wines, getting our labels and marketing up and running and getting someone on board for distribution.” Whatever little bits of magic fairy dust Bodenstedt may have had up her sleeve in the short time she has owned CapRock seem to have done the trick. The winery is now producing around 20,000 cases of wine with a goal to eventually be at 40,000 cases or more in the coming years.
2010 Roussanne: One of my favorite white grapes for Texas right now, and this is a world class example of what this “Goldilocks”varietal can do. With tropical fruit, white flowers and a little citrus on the nose, this crisp, dry wine has a touch of honey on the palate without being at all sweet. 2010 Dry Grenache Rosé: For the summer sipper, this dry rosé is sure to please. With raspberry, cranberry and a touch of cotton candy on the nose, the fruit dominates in this wine but remains dry throughout its medium-long finish. Though perfect for a backyard barbecue dinner (use lots of pepper), this wine would also be great in the fall for Thanksgiving dinner. 2010 Tempranillo: In Texas, everyone’s got a Tempranillo in their lineup. It’s true that this Spanish-based grape has made quite an impression on winemakers here and you’re seeing this grape presented in a number of retail price points from $10-$40 depending on the producer. Thankfully, this one is at the $10 mark and stands strong with dark fruit, cherry cola, mocha, and a touch of warm earth. Try it slightly chilled with fajitas for an alternative to the typical margarita. 2011 Sweet Tempranillo: I almost shudder to suggest a “sweet” wine, as it’s just not my style. But for those that do like a little bit of sweetness as well as for those who prefer bone-dry wines, this is a great compromise. There’s less than .3 percent residual sugar on this Tempranillo and you’ll find hints of framboise, banana and even bubble gum on the nose, but I’d suggest giving it a try if you’re among friends with different palates. Chances are, you’ll all be happy. Orange Muscat (Non-Vintage): If you like dessert wines, this one shows very well—especially paired with cheesecake for dessert. With yellow flowers, orange blossom and a touch of honey on the nose, this dessert wine is both crisp and creamy at the same time and makes the perfect end to a summer dinner. 2011 Pinot Grigio: This wine should see retail shelves in July. It’s one of the winery’s newest releases. I’m not typically a Pinot Grigio consumer, but if you’re looking for a crisp, dry wine to go with grilled fish, this will definitely do the trick. (Although I would challenge you to put this one and the Roussanne side by side to see what different nuances you find.) All of the wines above are produced from 100% Texas grapes in the High Plains AVA. They’re also all in the $10-$15 range. CapRock will have between 14-16 wines released by the end of the year, some of them will include California fruit until they can get what they need from Texas grapes. “We are going to be 100%,” says Bodenstedt who has already developed relationships with some of the High Plains’ top growers including VJ Reddy and a few smaller producers. “We feel strongly about grapes like Tempranillo that are growing well here in Texas and we’re also excited about our recent release of Pinot Grigio, which can be hit or miss a lot of times. As for visiting the winery, you won’t be disappointed. The facility is beautiful—perfect for a High Plains wedding or special event. And throughout the summer there are a number of live music concerts to enjoy—with a glass of CapRock wine, of course. “The bad part of being in Lubbock, is that we are not Fredericksburg,” says Bodenstedt. “There is not a winery every 20 feet, but we think Lubbock deserves a lot more attention, especially because most of the grapes in Texas come from this part of the state.” The CapRock Winery and tasting room are open for visits Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m and 12:30-5:30 on Sundays. Tours are conducted between 12:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday, 12:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. on Sundays daily.

I recently had a chance to sit down and sample a handful of wines in their portfolio—all of which are available throughout the state. Of the ones I tried, my favorites included:
