Boerne, TX Real Estate Agent

I wrote a previous blog post about Gruene's Music and Wine Festival this past weekend.  Many of you emailed me, asking how we liked it, so I thought I would give you a quick overview. 

The event was scheduled from noon to 6pm, but we didn't get there until 4:30pm, thanks to hubby dropping me off at Neiman's Last Call!  Although we felt like we were running late, this was perfect timing!

Around 5pm it started to drizzle.  The light rain cooled the tents off and cleared some of the crowd out.  We were able to move around the large tent rather freely, even with the jogging stroller.  There were probalby 40 wineries showcasing their wines and everyone was more liberal with their pours by the end of the day.  

Chris and I ran into many other parents with strollers, even some with double strollers!  After tasting all the wine we could handle, we sat at a picknick table outside and listened to live music.  With all the wine that had been poured, everyone seemed to be feeling rather spirited and in a dancing mood!  All of this made for great people watching.  :)

Around 6:30pm, we walked over to the Gristmill for dinner.  I had blackened redfish and Chris had a huge ribeye.  Dinner was delicious and we made it home around 9:30pm.  We will definitly be back next year!

This is a well written article, giving sound advice on why Realtors should not take overpriced listings. Over priced listings will not sell in this market and after 6 months or a year has passed, the house will be taken off the market and everyone is left feeling disappointed and frustrated.  

October 2011 marks the 25th anniversary of the annual Gruene Music & Wine Fesival!  Located in Gruene, Texas, this four-day celebration is a fantastic opportunity for you and your family to come and enjoy the sights and sounds of small town Texas culture, up close and personal. Chris and I will be there with Carter in tow!

Last year, proceeds from the fundraiser managed over $100,000 dollars to directly benefit the United Way of Comal County.  Very cool!

From a specialty beer-tasting event (that’s Sunday) to live performances from the likes of Los Lonely Boys and blues guitar legend B.B. King, in addition to all of the locally-sourced wine and grub you can handle throughout, this is definitely the place to be come October 6th-9th. See the entire schedule of events below. Tanji says each day has a different theme with unique events. I cannot wait to get out and enjoy this cooler weather!

We met at with the builders of 7 Kings Tower in the Dominion today.  Pamela and Art Burdick provided us with lunch and opened this house up. Sophisticated fusion of modern and classic interior is a new look for Burdick, but it offers the same top notch quality as we are all used to seeing from Burdick.  

This house is set up for an family that likes to entertain.  It features three living areas and is built in a C-shape to assure privacy but allow the entire house to be open to the pool and expansive greenbelt views.

Subzero/Wolf kitchen with gorgeous cabinetry. Five bedrooms with Master and guest down and three up.  Fourth car garage can be converted into maid's quarter.
