Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

The crazy heat has kicked in and I am excited to offer you all these awesome value wines that are a perfect remedy for the dog days of summer.  I am an avid fan of Dry Rose and you will find a steady influx of new Rose’s to try during the next several months.  A good friend of mine has begun calling this time of the year ‘The Summer of Riesling’ and I am inclined to agree with him.  Riesling is a perfect compliment to the Hot Houston Heat!  I will be out of pocket for the next month and therefore not posting any blogs in July, so I made sure to pick some stellar selections this month to tide you over into next month!
