    Hey Gail and Joey, Its been a long time, in fact about 22 years. I was talking to my brother Todd Askins and he told me about your winery. My wife and I will have to make a trip down and do some sampling. We live in Maryville, just outside of knoxville. well, glad to hear that all is well.

    We stopped by your shop back in late Oct ’10 and felling l;ove with your selection. The problem is we live in Kansas. Can you ship to Kansas?
    Thanks Phil

    • Hi Phil! We are so glad you came by and that you enjoy our wine! We currently do not ship to Kansas, but we are checking in to it for you. We aren’t sure if your state allows it or not. In the meantime, if you have a friend here in TN that can come and pick some up for you, they can mail it to you. We hope to see you on your next drive through Tennessee!

    Hi guys,
    I recently visited with my good friend Deborah Gordon, I was the bloke with the funny accent.
    I made a big mistake by packing the wine I bought in my carry on luggage, I didn’t even make it through Nashville airport security, let alone all the way back home to Australia.
    Do you ship O/S? I am doing my best to get back to Tn as soon as possible, I am looking forward to doing more tasting and I will be sure to pack properly next time!
    I enjoyed meeting you and experiencing both your southern hospitality and your great wines and cheeses.
    Kind regards,
    David.

    Do you allow small dogs to accompany visitors for Blues and Wine?

    Thanks!

    • We don’t and there are a couple reasons. First, is that we have MoMo the bulldog who is old and grumpy and doesn’t really like other dogs in his territory. While he is normally put up during these events, we cannot guarantee the safety of your pet.
      Second, is an issue with the Health department. Should your dog get inside of the winery we would be in direct violation of health department standards which could result in hefty fines for us.
      We hope that you will still be able to make it out to Blues and Wine and thank you for asking before bringing your pet.

  6. Do you seel Lt. Blender’s SANGRIA Wine Freezer mix? I attended a Wine Tasting at Nashville Shores in May and bought a bag, LOVED it and would like to buy more but can’t find it! It comes in a bag with a screw top. You add wine, water and the mix, place in freezer then squeeze for a great slushy drink!

    My fiance and I are having a small wedding of about 15-20 guests. I was curious as to whether you might host an outdoor ceremony and reception on-site. We were mainly interested in touring the vineyard and wine tasting during the reception with small snacks to go with the wine.
    If that is something you would consider would you also be willing to give me a price on the site for about 4 hours and about 4 cases of wine?

    ps: we would be willing to bring in food and alternative drinks for the underage guests. If you cannot provide them

    Thanks

    • Hi Elizabeth!
      Congratulations!! We would love to talk to you about hosting your wedding out here. Please give us a call at your earliest convenience and we will fill you in on all the details. 931-729-3690
      Thanks!!

    Wandered in yesterday (8-15-11) and was delighted at the tastes of your wines. Bought 4, in fact! Look forward to having the wine and cheese tonight. Your place is wonderful and your hospitality is warm and inviting. Look forward to a return visit with my wife!

    We absolutely loved our tour of your winery with the Living Social group, yesterday. Realized my sister in Florida would love a bottle of your Switch Red. Do you ship?

    Hi, we stumbled upon your place back in the summer. We loved it!!! We have talked about coming back but finding the time is always hard. We live in Memphis. We’ve talked about coming up and staying the night. Where would be the closest place to stay?
