Wine Society of Texas

These are exciting times for the Texas Wine Industry.  Our wineries are winning gold and double gold medals in prestigious competitions like the San Francisco International Wine Competition and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo International Wine Competition.  Our Texas vineyards and winemakers have discovered the Mediterranean varietals that thrive in Texas weather and it’s starting to pay dividends.

The Wine Society of Texas, as a consumer group, helps play a large part in this.  Our mission statement says it all “Wine Appreciation Through Education”.  Our chapter events feature and educate attendees on varietals like Albarino, Roussanne, Viognier, Vermentino, Tannat and Tempranillo.  Most people in Texas are not familiar with these varietals which are the future of the Texas Wine Industry.

Not only do we just feature Texas wines but also Old and New world wines from all of the grape growing regions around the world.

So please, check out the events tab for the dates of our chapter’s next event.  I invite you to attend and look forward to meeting and sharing a glass of wine with you.

Cheers!
