About our
Winery
Cathie Winmill winemaker and owner
of Comfort Cellars Winery retired from the Army in 1994
with the rank of Major. Shortly after retirement her
husband Ralph Wheeler Col. USAF was diagnosed with a
terminal cancer. Cathie found grief therapy in the form
of relocating a lot of rock when she started planting
her vineyard, just outside of Comfort, in 1997. As with
her military career she added another acronym to her
resume. R.R.S. Rock Relocation specialist.
The winery was started a year later on her property in
the quaint town of Comfort. The tasting room is located
in a restored circa 1904 Hill Country Home complete with
a wood burning stove. In the 10 years since the winery
opened Cathie has continued to break ground in the
unusual wines department. Raisin wine, an Orange wine
and a Jalapeño wine. Yes you read that right. A Jalapeño
wine, great for cooking, marinating or Texas Style
adventurous drinking! Be sure to ask for a Hill Country
Hottie the next time you visit the tasting room. |
