Shining Stars: Grilled Gulf Oysters with Herb Butter
Paired with a Pét-Nat
Fizzy and full of character, this ancestral-style sparkling wine brings vibrancy to the table. The wine’s natural effervescence lifts the richness of the herb butter oysters while adding a touch of wild elegance to your next backyard gathering or casual celebration. This is Gulf Coast flavor with a festive twist.
Texas Essentials: Lamb Chops with Sweet Potato Mash
Paired with a GSM Blend
This blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mouvèdre was made for fall plates. Juicy lamb chops meet their match in a red that brings structure, spice and depth, while the velvety sweetness of mashed sweet potatoes rounds out every bite.
Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread with Hill Country Honey
Paired with a Picpoul Blanc
Zippy, bright, and Texas-grown, Picpoul Blanc is built for bold flavor. Its mouthwatering acidity cuts through rich, savory bites of cornbread while the Hill Country honey adds just the right touch of contrast. It’s a fresh take on comfort food and the perfect pour for easygoing afternoons, fall gatherings and Texas sunsets.
