California Winemaker, Greg Bruni, Planned his Escape to Texas

Back in 1993, now Llano Estacado Winery Vice President & Executive Winemaker Greg Bruni planned an escape from California for him and his wife.

Greg and his wife Sharendale realized that, even though they were living at the mountain-top Byington Winery in California’s Santa Cruz Mountains surrounded by a redwood forest, their two divergent careers dictated a serious break in their routines. They looked for something different that would give Bruni a creative challenge while bringing them closer together.

Bruni said, “Sharendale often mused that she wanted me to take her somewhere that was flat, without trees. Maybe I took her a bit too literally, but when the opportunity came to make wine in Lubbock, it seemed to fit all of our needs.”
