We are pleased to collaborate with MixHaus Gallery to bring you a spirited new art exhibition at the Bending Branch Wine Club Lounge. Michael Snodgrass pairs bold color, humor, and his unmistakable cast of characters with themes of wine and bourbon, creating paintings that honor the pursuit of quality while playfully poking fun at the rituals, opinions, and pretensions that sometimes accompany it. There has been a recent surge of interest in Michael's work in the Texas Hill Country. His expressive paintings, his wry wit and powers of observation, and his appreciation for life lived fully and authentically, dovetail perfectly with the rugged charm of this region and the people drawn to it.

Michael's art will be on display at Bending Branch through September 20.

Why wait for dessert? Kick off your weekend with a decadent happy hour where Bending Branch bourbon meets locally made Swiss chocolate.

Join us from 5 to 6 p.m. as Bending Branch 1840 and ChickenDuck Bourbons partner with The Swiss Chocolate Shoppe for a guided tasting flight featuring four distinctive bourbon-and-chocolate pairings, each designed to highlight the rich flavors of both.

Enjoy:

Bending Branch 1840 Four Grain paired with milk chocolate caramel brûlée
Bending Branch 1840 High Rye paired with chocolate covered Marcona almonds with smoked sea salt
Bending Branch 1840 Culinaria Blend paired with 38% Mountain Meadow chocolate
ChickenDuck Wheated paired with milk chocolate covered pretzels and dark chocolate German cherry

It’s sweet, spirited and just the right way to kick off the evening—because sometimes dessert really should come before dinner.

The event will be held at the Wine Club Lounge at the tasting room. Seating is limited.
