    • World-class wines

      Texas wine has evolved so much over the past ten years. Back then, many of the wines were relatively sweet and fruity; today, Texas winemakers are creating world-class wines that remind me of the flavors of French, Italian, & Spanish wines.

    Meet an example box.

    Every quarter we pick a theme that captures what the wines inside are all about. Given how many "firsts" were included in this one, we settled on a historial figure who captures some big "firsts" for Texas.

    • First Texas Wine Club box
    • First time many of these selections are available
    • First people to join get extra gifts

    Our inaugural box of fine Texas wine, named after the first President of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston. Containing bold choices worthy of Texas' rich legacy.

    This is great Texas wine.

    You don't get a second chance at a first impression, so we poured through an impressive roster of great Texas wines, challenged by the goal to pick only twelve. These final selections represent a broad range of styles and flavors both indicative of where great Texas wine is today — and where it's headed tomorrow.

    This quarter's name

    Sam Houston

    An incredible figurehead of Texas history, Samuel Houston was an independent & carefree explorer who bucked extremism, lived with the Cherokee, rose the ranks in the US Army, and served as General in the Texas Army. His victory in the Battle of San Jacinto gave Texas its independence and made him both a hero and the first elected President of the Republic of Texas.

    The Club FAQ

    What am I buying?

    This is a subscription to great Texas wines, hand-selected by an independent panel of Texas wine professionals. Included in every purchase is:

    • A curated selection of great Texas wines
    • Cards about each wine and the winery that crafts it
    • Free annual club membership which grants 5% off all purchases
    • Invitation to our in-person events in Fredericksburg
    Where do you ship?

    Currently, we're Texans only shipping to other Texans so we can share great Texas wine with folks in our community. Some of the wines we carry are from incredibly small lots, so we want to ensure we first get them in front of Texans before opening our doors to the rest of the states.

    How do you select wines?

    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.

    How do I get more of a particular wine?

    Our selections change every quarter, and with limited supplies and small lots, we don't often carry extra to sell. If you discover a new favorite from one of our boxes, then we enthusiastically encourage you to reach out to that winery. They may have their own club or store where you can grab more bottles, or discover more of their wines.

    Can I just get a box as a standalone, one-time order?

    Inventory of each club shipment is very tight, as we're often working with boutique wineries. We allocate enough wine to fulfill each box for our club members. At this time, each club box is available only as a subscription, so that we can prioritize our members.

    Can I choose or change the wines I get?

    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, not brand names or how well it pairs with foie gras and caviar. 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.

    How can you pause or change the club subscription?

    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.

    Texas Wine FAQ

    Texas makes good wine?

    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.

    Is Texas wine more expensive?

    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.

    Are Texas wines just made with California grapes?

    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.
