I can’t think of a better way to start the New Year than with a glass of bubbly – some traditions should never change. The H-E-B at Montrose Market sells more sparklings and champagne than any other H-E-B store in Houston! More bubbles happen here than anywhere else…
Pop the cork and let the party begin on New Year’s Eve. Right now, cash in on a killer wine sale to close out the year. Take 10% off nearly ALL Cabernets and Sparklings currently on shelves at your local H-E-B! We have our eyes on several bubblys with big taste to ring in 2015…
One of the most valuable friends a wine lover can have is a trusted wine expert…someone who not only has extensively studied wine but who also samples a lot of wines to learn even more. That person will save you countless dollars over the years. I speak from experience!

Truly, the food is the real star of the Thanksgiving meal, so you want your wine to blend in and compliment not dominate the feast. Probably the biggest crowd pleaser at Thanksgiving and one of the most versatile food wines is…
Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year…lucky for us we have a reason to celebrate all weekend long. Romance reigns at La Cantera Hill Country Resort – where you can stay for a very special Valentine’s Day rate that includes a generous food and beverage credit…

Anything you taste, you can take home from the Boerne Wine Co. Champagnes of all kinds — by the glass — and it’s the only place you’ll find a collection this vast.
Take a tumble down the rabbit hole and head to Francesca’s at Sunset for their annual New Year’s Eve celebration. As you may have guessed, this year’s theme is Alice In Wonderland. Tour a world of culinary wonder with a specially-themed, five course occasion to ring in 2013!
You don’t have to spend $200 on a bottle of Cristal this Valentine’s Day to make a lasting impression. Sure, Cristal is a fabulous Champagne, but if you really want to impress that special someone look for a grower’s Champagne.
Much obliged to Masraff’s: They’re popping the cork for you on Valentine’s Day with some fabulous recommendations on bubbly, but more importantly, some little known secrets about champagne that make a whole lot of difference! According to house sommelier Ben Roberts, all wine tasters look for a sense of the “place” that a particular wine is from.
What a romantic setting! Imagine a sipping a cold glass of champagne as you watch the magnificent sun set over the rolling Texas Hill Country. That’s the view at Francesca’s restaurant at the Westin La Cantera Hotel and Spa. But, the view is only the beginning—the food is fantastic.
Pairing wines with seafood can be a fun adventure. There are so many incredible white varietals that work with seafood. Experiment and see what you like best. Let’s start with crabcakes, since that’s what we’re cooking this week. The crabcakes featured have an interesting sweet yet tangy chile sauce in the mix, so I’d suggest […]
I love this time of year. There’s nothing like the holidays to put you in a festive mood. And, no better way to celebrate than with good friends and good wine. I’ve got some great wine suggestions for all kinds of holiday dishes, plus some ‘bubblies’ that are just plain fun! Traditionally, we’ve always been […]
Brunch here is such a treat. I love the sinfully good eggs benedict and the rich, velvety Monte Cristo sandwich. Their giant cappuccino is also incredible not to mention the champagne that just keeps flowing.
When I look for info from the local experts on wine, I often turn to Janet Easterling and Joe Baker. Both are sommeliers, and both are incredible wine connoisseurs. Janet is currently a wine consultant to a number of upscale San Antonio restaurants. She also can be found at Bergheim Cellars on Hwy 46, so […]
