From The Winemaker
The first vintage of Neighbors was an idea that came out of necessity. We had 30 gallons of our estate Negroamaro and we have no wood barrel to successfully age that volume. Mike's answer to that was to use one of Garrison’s bourbon barrels.
When I was growing up, neighbors helped each other out and generally loaned stuff back and forth. This wine is made from our estate fruit and Dan Garrison’s bourbon barrels. I thought it would be fun to have an all Hye effort. It is dark and rich with just a hint of spice and heat from flavors found only in friendly Hye, Texas!
We age these wines in wet barrels, meaning that the barrel is not cleaned once the bourbon is removed. We put our wine into the barrels immediately after Garrison dumps for their bottling, because of this the wine picks up more bourbon characteristics and extra alcohol
