Triple N Ranch Winery also hosts seasonal wine dinners, prepared by its chef, Anthony Cordova, a veteran of several Dallas restaurants. For Valentine’s Day, he created an elegant four-course Asian fusion menu with a choice of seafood or meat for each savory course. Offerings included: steak tartare with pickled mustard seed; lamb with ginger-carrot puree; scallops with ginger-cauliflower puree; braised short ribs with polenta; and chocolate cake with five-spice ice cream.
“He said, ‘I want you to breathe life back into the ranch,’” Anderson recalls. Her parents enjoyed living on the ranch, especially entertaining friends from nearby Cedar Creek Lake. But as the couple and their friends settled into their 80s, the visits dwindled. The Creels missed the bustle of activity.
Anderson enrolled in viticulture classes at Grayson College. Her son, Richard II, who worked for several years at a vineyard in Verona, Italy, joined her, and took an oenology course too. Her husband, Richard — a Dallas surgeon — studied the legal and business aspects of winemaking and marketing. One year later, at age 60, Anderson entered the winemaking business.
