Whole Foods Market made Texas wine history back in 2010 when it became the first venue to offer a Texas wine in keg, on tap, and by the glass with the Duchman Family Winery Vermentino and Montepulciano.
Today, Whole Foods Market continues to offer its guests environmentally friendly (and delicious!) wine options with Texas-grown and Texas-made Duchman Family wines.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Dave Reilly, one of the leading winemakers in Texas, and to taste his wines with him at Whole Foods Market!

From CNN.com to Texas Monthly to the Houston Press, it seems that EVERYONE is talking about Texas wines in the wake of what is sure to be considered a historic tasting of Lone Star State wines on Sunday at the first-ever Austin Food & Wine Festival (presented by Food & Wine magazine).
“About a year ago,” writes Texas wine writer extraordinaire Jessica Dupuy (left) this week on Eat My Words, the Texas Monthly magazine blog. “I snuck into a last-minute barrel tasting with Duchman winemaker Dave Reilly and found some exciting wines in production that made me really look forward to coming back once they made it into bottles. (See post here.) Yesterday, I swung back by Duchman Family Winery with some friends to do exactly that. As Reilly brought out a few much-anticipated bottles from last year’s impromptu tasting—as well as a few other new ones—I found I was in for a treat. (And so are you, Texas, if you can get your hands on a few bottles of the some 2010 releases from Duchman.)”
S[tay] A[t] H[ome] M[om] SAHMmelier Alissa Leenher (right) reviews Duchman Family Winery this week on her excellent wine blog.
“What happens when you grow Italian grapes in Texas?” she writes. “Un bel vino. A beautiful wine. The more I am learning about Texas wine, the more I am convinced that growing Mediterranean varietals are the way to go. Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Mouvedre all thrive in this climate and the vintners that have figured this out are doing beautiful things.”
