Kix Brooks, who along with partner Ronnie Dunn host the 2006 CMA Awards this evening, is in the process of building Arrington Vineyards, a winery and plantings in Arrington, Tennessee. The venture also includes partners Fred Minderman and Winemaker Kip Summers. Brooks, half of the ever-popular country music duo Brooks & Dunn, became obsessed with wine after staying in Napa Valley and spending time at Robert Mondavi in Oakville, and apparently felt called to make wine in Tennessee. An interview with Brooks has been published by the Nashville Wine Press.
Jeff Hall, Arrington resident and pilot of an ultralight aircraft called an "airbike" recently flew over the vineyard and winery property and captured this "pilot" video. You can see the timber frame winery building is nearing completion. Pending approvals and finishing touches, Arrington Vineyards plans to be selling wine by the end of the year.
Arrington is a farming crossroads community in Williamson County, just east of Franklin, which is in the midst of fast-paced transition to upscale planned community developments.
Brooks & Dunn were nominated this year for 7 CMA Awards.
