I'm telling ya.. when you get your liquor license, label them not for consumption. Autograph them and sell them as souvenirs when the ranch opens

[@littlebigkicker]

Ohhhh that's a great idea 💡

[@Randyluck1]

I just posted the same thing a minute ago!😊

[@PaoriLePresident]

That's a dumb idea... lollll

[@MikeKrumrei]

I'd sell them for $10 a pop as targets to the opening-day customers who come to use the range.

[@aceneto9386]

That’s a terrible idea some jackass would drink it anyways and sue him

[@victor050884]

I like how Mere is literally an engineer and Matt's just tearing stuff down with his truck and a chain.

[@claytonwindham]

Matt always delivers. He lures us in with a title about wine tasting and keeps us around by knocking down a building demolition ranch style!

[@WakkaWakkaJames]

In Australia we pull down building bit by bit. It might take longer but you could Savage and recycle material for other projects or builds

[@PsiQ]

Same here.. Especially the cost for sorted trash is a lot cheaper over the "all things might be in there" mixed one that needs specials treatment.

[@MrJewsbury]

If you don't turn those bottles of crappy wine into Bunker Brandy then that's a market lost!

[@MrJewsbury]

You could sell it/give it away to the first few patrons to stay at the Ranch

[@b4l4zsv1ncz3]

To be fair, Bunker Brandy is a really good name for it

[@33gles]

Bunker Brandy is an AMAZING name.

[@ViolentKisses87]

Dude that's fucking funny.

[@plucknick]

@whiskeytribe and off the ranch need to collaborate

[@michaelwhite9199]

I never expected to see a 5-ton exploding out of an abandoned building. Bravo!

[@SomebodysNephew]

Same. You could hear it screaming a few seconds before it busts through. Didn't even think about it.

[@paulanthony1976]

It’s always been a dream of mine. Dreams come true.

[@almostanengineer]

[@stevennichols3421]

[@kyleo1236]

You could potentially get some good vinegar from those wines. To experiment with making vinegar, just pop the cork and leave it in a dark warm place for a couple weeks then taste it. If it doesn't taste too acidic, let it sit longer. You could then sell the vinegar to local restaurants or keep it for when the resort opens.

[@tipsywhiskeyshenanigans9229]

I work for a craft distillery in AZ and we take beer that has gone bad from a few craft breweries. You should reach out to a small craft distillery near you and I’m sure they would love to try to turn that into something good.

[@samuelphillips9620]

I truly hope that you make this happen Matt. I pass by your establishment a few times a month and would love if you could make some Semi truck parking so that us truck drivers could stop by and enjoy the new Diggs 😉 😊

[@MikeInOregon]

The resort needs a 1/4 scale train track around the whole resort. 🚂

[@weedfreer]

Nah...he needs to have Texas University come install a Hyperloop test track from the carpark to his resort check-in and gun range.

[@plucknick]

Needs a lazy river. I remember years ago Mere saying something about how she wanted a lazy river.

[@yotarocket]

A gravity roller coaster would be better! 🎢

[@tomwilliams8675]

Why not full size?

[@MikeInOregon]

@@tomwilliams8675 Because there’s not enough room for a full size train to make a loop.

[@forsakenace9577]

Hey Matt, your tribute to your brother popped up in my feed after I just binge watched all your resort videos. I think when you’re close to finishing the resort, you should put a tribute or something on the ranch/resort for him. I’m sure he’s up there smiling and watching your adventures, and doing what he can to make sure you succeed.

[@kinglionex4888]

[@forsakenace9577]

[@nikkiconrad9595]

I love seeing what you're going to do with this place. I think it would be cool if you'd build like a huge barn for the event hall and or maybe even a barn chapel ❤

[@LysergicVisions]

Mikey always keeping OSHA on their toes 😂

[@davenz000]

Does OSHA even operate in Texas? Isn't this one reason everyone is fleeing there?

[@MikeHarris1984]

Thats why you always ALWAYS take a bug heavy blanket or carpet or something, drape over the chain. So if it snaps, it helps contain and obsorb the energy

[@pinkelephants1421]

Might be worth checking out the I-beams to see if they're still straight. Those things aren't cheap and (may) still be reusable even if that means having to cut them down to size for window and door lintels.

[@Mr_E402]

I think it would be really cool to see that stone structure/building turned into a garden/outdoor seating for the view!!!

[@This-and-That]

Matt you need to load up one of these buildings you want to demolish with tannerite !

[@arcrad]

Haha throwback to classic demo ranch

[@mattbenson6698]

I’m genuinely disappointed this hasn’t happened really to any extent. No how many 50 cal rounds does it take to destroy a chimney or nothing. Just ramming with a 5ton… which is cool. But he could be waaaayyyy cooler.

[@Randyluck1]

Matt, try a collab with the Barn wood Builders. They might have a huge post and beam barn that could be made into an awesome event center.

[@OklahomaRedneck918]

I wish he would have let someone come take the building down to repurpose like that thing was in pretty good shape why waste

[@beccac6451]

I love watching you demolish those buildings. Very satisfying to watch lol. Really sorry that none of the wine was salvageable. Was hoping some might of bee good.

[@pearville37]

I'm a little concerned we haven't seen Mer in a while which scares me since she is obviously the brains of this whole organization.

[@leftyeh6495]

She's probably enjoying the peace and quiet around the house with Matt busy. 😂

[@joesanchez9512]

I’ve been thinking the same thing. Everyone went to the previous event but mere didn’t. Hope everything is good between them.

[@Chashundley]

I am so pleased I am not in a position to have the status of my relationship questioned on whether my significant other was in a video or not. 😂

[@donnaskin]

She's busy with the kids since they are in school. She probably also took care of Jenna and Clints kids too.

[@qwertyuiop4halo]

​@@joesanchez9512You are assuming Matt and her are having marital problems because she didn't go to one event? You do realize she helps run everything they do and is a parent as well? She doesn't have to go to every single event and probably doesn't want to anyways!

Still think you should contact Whiskey Tribe, they actually have a distillery in Texas and could help you Salvage the wine. They are also very Charismatic on Camera and would make good content for a Collab.

[@zteaxon7787]

No wonder they went bancruot when they have 300.000$ invested in wine stock

[@gibme69420]

​@@trollolol705 500 at purchase would be around 1000 a bottle today (if the average year is around 1995, if 2000's then maybe around $800-900), and by the sounds of it they had some premium selections available while operating in the 2000's.

[@Mushroom.Madness.]

No kidding... it blows my mind to think at least 1 person had to know it was there and they didn't go back for it

[@jonathanwilliams1974]

Had it been stored at cellar temp it would have been worth 10X what is was 20 years ago too. Just tragic on all counts.

They might have also been there to make an offer on anything that was still good ... But more than likely they drew the short straw ;)

[@erichtomanek4739]

I've read that there are centuries old wine bottles (containing wine!) that are worth many tens of thousands of dollars. They are valuable due to their age and rarity and investment value even though the wine can never be drunk as it's basically battery acid. So, keep those bottles for a 1,000 years or so and your descendants will be rich!

[@biancah2171]

Those are usually properly stored or famous for whose collection they come from. But also usually aren't collected to be consumed. Also pre nuclear radiation wine can have an increased price. But none of his wine would fall under that.

[@-NME]

Imagine that demolition with a chain for ship anchors that would be fun :D

[@ChaneyGolf]

Really putting the demolition in demolition ranch this episode!

I still think you should hold an auction selling those wine bottles with a tag saying not for consumption I think a lot of us would like to buy one of those bottles just because it came from the resort they would be great display and conversation pieces

This reminds me of a dam in my home town in Wisconsin. 80 some odd years after it had been built a structural evaluation found that there was a mathematical error in its construction, by one decimal point. They decided it was not safe and it needed to be destroyed. It took four rounds of dynamite to take the dam out. Wasn’t so unsound after all.😅
