Blue Bell began in 1907 as the Brenham Creamery Company, first making butter from local farmers’ excess cream before shifting to ice cream and adopting its name in 1930. By 1958, the company focused solely on ice cream, using direct store delivery to ensure freshness. Though expansion stayed slow and centered in Texas, Blue Bell became one of the nation’s top-selling ice creams—always committed to never compromising on quality.

What began as an acquaintance as winemakers in the Hill Country became a collaboration between William “Bill” Blackmon and Chris Brundrett; one that’s based on a shared winemaking philosophy and a vision for what the Texas wine industry is capable of. Bill and Chris agree that great wines are not made, but grown in the vineyard. They also believe that wine should be inspired by the pleasure that is shared with an extended community of friends and family over a bottle. The creation of each new vintage depends greatly upon these two priorities.
