==Other activities== In 1999, Matthews purchased more than 10 acres of land in Albemarle County, Virginia, known as Blenheim Farm, to preserve its historical significance. He later decided to plant grapes on the property, since it is located within both the Virginia and [[Monticello]] [[viticultural]] areas. Blenheim Vineyards was founded in 2000, and currently produces 5,500 cases of wine per year, including its signature [[Petit Verdot]] and several special edition wines that have featured unique labels with drawings by Matthews.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blenheimvineyards.com/ |title=Blenheim Vineyards |publisher=Blenheim Vineyards |access-date=2013-12-04}}</ref> In 2011, Matthews collaborated with wine makers Steve Reeder and Sean McKenzie in creating the [[Dreaming Tree Wines]].<ref name="Spec">{{cite web |url=http://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show/id/45850 |title=Unfiltered: Dave Matthews' Wine Dream |publisher=[[Wine Spectator]] |date=October 20, 2011 |access-date=March 14, 2012}}</ref><ref name="Huff">{{cite web |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/25/wine-taste-test_n_1022810.html#s423709&title=Dave_Matthews_Dreaming |title=Wine Taste Test: How Do Dave Matthews, Banana Republic And More Branded Wines Stack Up? |publisher=Huffington Post |date=October 26, 2011 |access-date=March 14, 2012}}</ref><ref name="Zimbio">{{cite web |url=http://www.zimbio.com/Dave+Matthews/articles/6ddk1HSz6Mg/Alcohol+Dave+Matthews+Wine |title=Alcohol: Dave Matthews Wine? |publisher=Zimbio |date=February 1, 2012 |access-date=March 14, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131009002257/http://www.zimbio.com/Dave+Matthews/articles/6ddk1HSz6Mg/Alcohol+Dave+Matthews+Wine |archive-date=October 9, 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In April 2012, Matthews was credited as producer on the documentary ''Last Call at the Oasis'', directed by [[Jessica Yu]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.documentarychannel.com/post/10519205084/ato-pictures-to-distribute-must-see-doc-last-call-at |title=ATO Pictures to Distribute Must-See Doc 'Last Call at the Oasis' |publisher=Blog.documentarychannel.com |access-date=May 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120617051943/http://blog.documentarychannel.com/post/10519205084/ato-pictures-to-distribute-must-see-doc-last-call-at |archive-date=June 17, 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In early 2013, Matthews participated in a jam session at Blade Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana, with [[Jakob Dylan]], [[Charlie Sexton]], Blade studios co-owner [[Brady Blade]], and Sexton's brother Will.
