I tell people all the time how much I love people from Texas.

I think Texas people and Israeli people have a lot in common and, in fact, if you pull out your maps, you will discover Texas and Israel share the same hot latitude…. and the same hot attitude, too!

I’m in NYC this weekend to host our next in a series of Margalit vertical wine tastings at Lelabar in West Village Sunday afternoon- to demonstrate what ageing does (it does something friggin amazing!) to Margalit winery’s age-worthy wines. Margalit is Israel’s cool cult winery led by father-son winemaking team Yair and Asaf Margalit.

Our next vertical event is in Houston with my pals Jonathan and Vanessa at The Tasting Room at Uptown Park.

The Tasting Room and their sister wine bar Max’s Wine Dive carry a bunch of our wines and bring a lot of fun and spirit to the way they select and introduce to their (thousands of) followers great wines from around the world.

I’m a Big Fan of theirs and it just seemed the right spot for this next round of exclusive wine gathering.

Here’s the deal – we have 12 seats available (they will go fast and a couple are already spoken for) and you will get to taste 10 Margalit wines along with gourmet snacks and chow from The Tasting Room’s kitchen. The mood will be informal and fun and also take a serious deep-dive into the wine library of one of the regions top wineries.

The event is 6-8pm on Tuesday June 8 at The Tasting Room at Uptown Park.

The cost is $100 plus tax and tip per person.

OK, this is the really really important part……you can ONLY reserve a seat by credit card through Jonathan at The Tasting Room – so email him (NOW!) at jonathan@lascoenterprises.com

See you there!

P.S. several of the wines you taste will be available for ordering during the event.

This is the only Margalit tasting of its kind done in Texas – and only the 3rd one of its kind ever done in the US.

These are some of the best wines made in the Mediterranean. And only 12 people in Texas will get to taste these older vintages. I hope you are one of them.

I’m leading the tasting along with TTR’s somm Vanessa.

See you there!
