Flat Creek Estate, known for its rockin’ “Super Texan” Sangiovese, has a new winemaker. Its esteemed former winemaker, Vicky-Louise Bartier, returned to her native Australia, co-proprietor Rick Naber told me at the “Set a Course” event in Dallas Monday night. She was - literally - allergic to Texas, it turns out; our various pollens and whatnot chased her away. Her replacement is a woman named Tish Cooper. A native of Wyoming, Tish specializes in Ports and sherries. So we’ll be on the lookout for future vintages of Flat Creek dessert wines — made from Texas grapes, of course. The Nabers’ commitment to local wine extends to making it from local fruit.

Good luck with Tish Cooper!
Congratulations on getting Tish Cooper for your winemaker! The wines she made for J. Filippi were beautiful. You don’t need luck when you have a great winemaker like Tish Cooper.
Yeah! Good luck with Tish Cooper! She is… Amazing.
There is a new winemaker at Flat Creek Estate. No more Ms Cooper!
