Join us to celebrate the release of the third vintage of our award-winning Texas wine - our 2016 Nice Texas Blanc du Bois! This wine was hand-harvested by a group of our Nice Wine Club members last July in Anderson, Texas and aged in a stainless steel tank in-house at our winery. After selling out of our 2015 vintage in 90 days, we look forward to releasing this new vintage that’s crisp, fruity, and perfect for summer! We have been working diligently to get our favorite Texas wine bottled and we can’t wait for y’all to taste it!

We will also be pouring the new 2012 vintage of our award winning Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina! Light bites will be served, prepared by Chef Ian.

Spaces are limited - this event completely sold out last year! Get your tickets now.

Wine and food both have complex flavor profiles that change each other when combined. This class lays the foundation for how complimentary pairings can enhance your meals. Learn how food and wine does (and sometimes does not) work together and how flavor and aroma profiles can be used to create a partnership that is better than the sum of its parts. We will eat, we will taste and have loads of fun!  Class will be taught by Le Cordon Bleu trained Chef and Certified Sommelier Ryan Levy.

Know you love wine, but want to know more about it? Join us for a fun and informative class to learn all about the finer points of wine enjoyment. Winemaker and Sommelier, Ryan Levy, will lead you through a wine tasting and answer questions such as:

Why does vintage matter? What is the proper way to open and serve wine to your guests? How do you approach a wine list when you don't recognize anything? What is the best temperature to store and serve wine? How do I know if a bottle of wine is corked, cooked, or oxidized? How will I know if a wine needs to be decanted or allowed to breathe? Does decanting really make a difference? What is the difference between French Oak and American Oak?  

Please bring your own wine questions! Light meat and cheese pairings will be served.

Member Pricing: is $52/person. (Limit 2 tickets at this price)
