Private Tastings by Appointment

We’re open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays, 12-6 PM. However, during the week or after 6 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, there is the possibility of having a private tasting by appointment. The minimum number of persons for a private tasting is 6 people. The maximum is 20. Call 713-725-4260. If there’s no answer, leave your name, phone number (repeat it clearly please) and the number of people, date and time you would like to visit. We will hopefully get back in touch with you reasonably soon. If your desired visit can be accommodated, an advance deposit fee of $50 per person charged to your credit card will secure your appointment. You will have to give us the necessary credit card information over the phone. There will be a charge for each bottle of wine poured during the private tasting. However, for every 3 bottles, whether poured during the tasting or purchased and taken to go, there will be a refund of the deposit fee in the amount of $50. To illustrate, say there’s 10 people. A $500 advance deposit is required by credit card. At the event, 6 bottles are poured at the tasting and, in addition, between the guests, another 24 bottles are purchased to go. That’s a total of 30 bottles so a complete credit would be given back for the $500 advance deposit. You would only pay for the wine you drank and or took with you and nothing for the private use of our facility, our time and personal attention. Say for example, 6 bottles were poured at the tasting and 12 bottles were additionally purchased to go. That’s a total of 18 bottles. For every 3 bottles either poured or bought to go there’s a $50 credit back against the deposit. So that would be a $300 credit back against the $500 advance deposit. So, in addition to the wine purchased, you would be paying $200 for the private use of our facility, time and personal attention. Of course, the numbers would differ, depending on the number of people and the total amount of wine purchased. The above scenarios are just examples. The point is this: The use of the facility and all the attention given at such a private event is free with the purchase of enough wine.
