Origin Story
My wife, Vonda, and I love wine. We love the complexity and artistry of it. We love the stories and the people behind it. And, most of all, we love how enjoying a great bottle of wine or two with friends helps us develop connection and community.
Vonda and I discovered the many wonders of California wine country several years ago and our experiences have kept us coming back many times since. Our favorite tasting experiences are the smaller, family-owned wineries where you get to sit down with the owner or the winemaker (often the same person). These wines are typically direct-to-consumer only because of the nature and cost of their business, so you’ll never see them in a local wine store and rarely see them in restaurants. Yet these are some of the best wines on the planet and discovering and sharing them with friends has been a great joy for us.
For years now, we have had a dream of sharing those wines with you, our fellow DFW Metroplex wine lovers. Texans…we love our wine. We love to taste the “good stuff”, especially if it’s hard to find, and we love doing it with each other. So, we have partnered with some fantastic venues to create an experience, where you can do just that. On a regular basis, we will bring some of the best wineries and winemakers in the world to Dallas to host a variety of amazing in-person tasting experiences, the same as if you were to visit them in Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara, Oregon or Washington.
Our hope is that you’ll join us to discover some great new wines, meet some great new friends and have a life-enriching experience that will linger in your heart and mind, just like a great wine lingers on the palate.
