At Big Creek Winery, every bottle tells a story, and every sip takes you on a journey. For owner Billy Brymer, that journey begins with a deep-rooted passion for horses. Growing up in Giles County, Billy spent his teenage years frequenting Hunter’s Run, a historic horse ranch where his love for these majestic animals blossomed. Today, his winery pays homage to this lifelong passion with a unique collection of wines that not only reflect the flavors of the land but also celebrate the spirit of the horse.
Hunter’s Run: A Cranberry Delight
Hunter’s Run is more than just a wine; it’s a tribute to the place where Billy’s equestrian dreams began. This cranberry fruit wine is a holiday favorite, perfect for family gatherings or a cozy evening by the fireplace. Its vibrant flavor embodies the warmth and joy of those early days at the horse ranch, making it a perfect companion for creating new memories with loved ones.
Excalibur: Bold and Sweet Blackberry Wine
Named after one of Billy’s cherished saddle-bred gaited horses, Excalibur captures the strength and grace of its namesake. This blackberry wine is both sweet and robust, offering a depth of flavor that mirrors the elegance and power of a champion horse. Each sip of Excalibur is a reminder of the noble spirit that drives both the wine and the horse it honors.
Desire’s Mane: The Spirit of Strawberry
Desire’s Mane is a strawberry fruit wine that balances sweet and tart notes, much like the personality of Desire, a beloved mare in Billy’s stables. As the mother and grandmother to many of Billy’s horses, Desire’s legacy lives on in every bottle. This wine is a celebration of lineage and tradition, a testament to the enduring bond between Billy and his horses.
Giddy Up: An Apple Harvest Tribute
Fall at Big Creek Winery is synonymous with apple harvest, and Giddy Up captures the essence of this season. This apple wine is a nod to the horses who eagerly await the treat of a ripened apple. Its crisp and refreshing taste is a tribute to the rich equestrian history of Giles County, inviting you to savor the connection between land, horse, and wine.
Raspberry Reagan: A Presidential Legacy
Raspberry Reagan is named after Reagan, Billy’s irreplaceable horse, who in turn was named in memory of President Ronald Reagan. This raspberry wine is vibrant and full of character, much like its equine namesake. It’s a wine that stands out, honoring both the horse and the president with every pour.
