Yep! We'll be straight with you — Texas wine hasn't always been great. Prohibition in particular was a huge setback to progress, but we've had decades of rapid rebounding, allowing us to catch up with other well-known regions in the states. Now more than ever, there's huge investment, talent, interest, and demand for Texas wine. The expansive Texas terroir is comparable in some ways to France or Portugal, allowing us to grow "Old World" styles with similar methods.

The problem is that despite there being over 500 wineries in Texas, very few produce at the scale required to get into stores, and much of what does make it to stores isn't the best representation of what our state can make. The really good wines are in clubs, boutique wineries, or made in small lots. That's the wine we source, taste, and vet for inclusion.

Currently, we’re only shipping to Texas, Florida, and Washington DC. Most of the wines we carry are from incredibly small lots, but we hope to be available to all US wine enthusiasts in the coming months.

We work with the Texas Wine Guild, an independent body made up of Texas wine professionals accomplished in growing, making, selling, pairing, and scaling all things wine. They work with as many Texas wineries as possible, getting bottles to perform double-blind tastings in a controlled environment. The best of the best wines from this process are selected, and those make it into each shipment.

We're making it easy to get a great mix of quality Texas wine. The independent panel we use to curate wines makes selections based on taste and quality. We work hard to expose you to wines you may otherwise have never heard of or thought to try, because we know they're truly world class. We're not currently able to make changes to the selections, but we'd love your feedback.

We're Texan on service & business. If you have too much wine, aren't really feeling the selections, or want to skip a shipment for any reason, we've made it painless and hassle-free to make adjustments. When you log into your account, you'll see pausing, skipping, or canceling one simple click away. No hoops, no calls, no BS. And we're always available via email at howdy@txwine.com if you need help.

In general, Texas wine is competitively priced with the quality, same as anywhere else. Like wines from any region, there's wine that fits budgets all the way from under $10 a bottle to over $100. If you know wine, you know price doesn't always determine quality, and we think there's a sweet spot on the lower end of that price spectrum. Because we work directly with winemakers big & small, we're able to get wines an average of 25% lower than at stores, which are savings we pass along to you.

In short, no! Texas law requires that wines claiming to be "Texan" must contain at minimum 75% Texas grapes. While there are wineries in Texas using mostly out-of-state grapes, even in our double-blind tastings we're finding our palates to have a Texas-first bias. Many of our selections are 100% Texas, from the fruit to the winery to the glass it's bottled in.
