    Milam & Greene Whiskey
    Milam & Greene Whiskey is made by some of the world’s most experienced whiskey professionals, including CEO, master blender, and author Heather Greene and 30-year whiskey veteran and master distiller Marlene Holmes. Its charming distillery sits in the lush Texas Hill Country, where the hot summers, unpredictable winters, and wild temperature variances add spark and personality to its spirit.

    The Milam & Greene whiskey team distills in Blanco, Texas, on small copper pot stills as well as in Kentucky on classic column stills, using proprietary yeast and grain recipes. Aging takes place in rickhouses located across four states in different casks for a variety of flavors, resulting in the most thorough array of casks made and collected by any craft distiller. These casks are all brought home to Texas to become the ingredients from which the award-winning whiskey range is batched to create perfection.

    Awarded 93 points by Wine Enthusiast, the Milam & Greene Triple Cask Bourbon is a batch of three hand-selected straight bourbon whiskies: Texas bourbon for a pop of spice, Kentucky bourbon for vanillas and fruits, and vintage Tennessee bourbon for structure and tannins. Products can be found at premium retailers across the state and pricing starts at $40.

    The Corazon Playero Luanna Hat, priced at $239, is a customizable, handmade accessory that's sure to turn heads. A fan and diamonds motif brings a bright spot to winter and beyond, while the natural palm leaf construction and inner elastic band guarantee comfort.

    Saint Bernard's mission is to provide its customers with an evolving collection of carefully selected products from the best brands. They strive to build a shopping experience that is easy, fun, and enjoyable. Whether you are skiing, golfing, hiking, swimming, or relaxing at home, their stores are up for the task. And wherever you are in the world, the online shop is open 24/7.

    Be on the lookout for its mascot, the St. Bernard, while you shop, as she may just pop in. You also earn 5 percent back on every purchase — the more you shop, the more you earn.

    Garrison Brothers
    Give the holiday gift of hand-crafted boldness. Garrison Brothers bourbon is rich, smooth, and overflowing with quality, and always makes a great holiday gift for friends and family — or yourself.

    Located in the Texas Hill Country, Garrison Brothers is the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas history and is one of the first distilleries in America outside of Kentucky to produce authentic, handmade bourbon whiskey — and only bourbon whiskey. They currently have a waitlist of more than 15,000 just to volunteer on bottling days, and their Cowboy Bourbon normally sells out within hours of its release.

    Every expression of Garrison Brothers bourbon is made from a sweet mash bill and barrel-aged in the intense Texas climate. The extreme heat creates multiple aging seasons in a year, resulting in a darker, richer, and fuller bourbon; bolder than almost any other bourbon on the market.

    3 affluent Dallas neighbors dominate new list of wealthiest U.S. suburbs

    This over-the-top mansion in University Park is on the market for $7.2 million.

    Three well-to-do Dallas-area communities - University Park, Southlake, and Colleyville - are among the wealthiest suburbs in America in 2025, a new report has confirmed.

    The three affluent Dallas neighbors were lauded in GoBankingRates just-released ranking the 50 wealthiest U.S. suburbs, based on 2022 and 2023 average household income data sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau.

    University Park ranked as the sixth wealthiest suburb for the second consecutive year, while Southlake moved up into the No. 7 spot after earning a No. 13-rank in 2024.

    Meanwhile, Colleyville made its 2025 debut on the list as the 47th wealthiest American suburb.

    Compared to last year's report, the average income for a University Park household has increased by $8,633, to $389,868. The value of the typical home in this affluent Dallas enclave is in the seven-figure range, surpassing $2.45 million in May, which the report noted is 5 percent higher than it was this time last year.

    University Park's prosperity is no secret; it ranked as the fourth wealthiest U.S. suburb in GoBankingRates' 2023 report.

    Southlake (No. 7) made a substantial climb up the chart from its 2024 rankings, as did its average household income ($382,520 compared to $360,078 last year). The typical home value for a Southlake home in May came out to more than $1.29 million, up from $1.24 million in the 2024 report.

    Earlier this year, Southlake nearly topped a separate list of the best suburbs to live in America, also in part thanks to its residents' high median income.

    Newcomer Colleyville (No. 47) entered the 2025 rankings with an average household income of $265,831 according to GoBankingRates' findings, and a typical home value of $923,032.

    Dallas-Fort Worth was the only metro in Texas to have three entries on this year's list.

    Elsewhere in Texas
    Two Houston-area suburbs, West University Place and Bellaire, were returnees in the 2025 report. West U held on to its top-three spot for the second year in a row, while Bellaire moved up two places and is now the 23rd most affluent American suburb.

    The top 10 wealthiest suburbs in America for 2025 are:

    • No. 1 – Scarsdale, New York (New York City)
    • No. 2 – Rye, New York (New York City)
    • No. 3 – West University Place, Texas (Houston)
    • No. 4 – Los Altos, California (San Jose)
    • No. 5 – Alamo, California (Oakland)
    • No. 6 – University Park, Texas (Dallas)
    • No. 7 – Southlake, Texas (Fort Worth)
    • No. 8 – Hinsdale, Illinois (Chicago)
    • No. 9 – Orinda, California (Oakland)
    • No. 10 – Wellesley, Massachusetts (Boston)
