Here’s a look at what Texas is pouring this fall—and how to make the most of every sip with expert pairings to match.
Conca del Riu Anoia, Spain
We asked Austin: what’s your favorite crowd-pleasing wine? Look no further than this bright bubbly from Raventós. Produced by one of the oldest wine families in Spain, Raventós i Blanc has been crafting wines on their estate in Penedès since 1497. The winery emphasizes organic and biodynamic farming, and are drawing international attention to Conca del Riu Anoia as a region that belongs on every wine-lovers radar. Kick off your gatherings with a glass of De Nit Rosat for an instant show-stopper.
Bill’s Recommended Pairings: Enjoy as an aperitif or with tiny, fried fish
“This bone dry sparkler from Raventos i Blanc has just an added splash of Monastrell that gives it a slightly savory, smoky aspect. The calcareous soil in which the grapes are grown imparts a mineral, chalky finish, and along with a hint of red fruit, and richness from the extended aging, it is the perfect complement to crunchy, tiny fried fish. The wine is a perfect aperitif on its own, but it’s an amazing pairing that cuts through the oil in the fish themselves and the fried preparation. I’d put it right up there with french fries and Champagne as far as classic pairings go.”

Montagne de Reims, France
We asked Dallas and Fort Worth: what’s your favorite fine wine? Without missing a beat, they all voted for Champagne. Specifically, a premium offering from Roger Coulon: Non-vintage Heri Hodie. Translating to “Yesterday-Today,” the name highlights its connection to generations of winemaking and the use of a perpetual-reserve solera system started in 1995! What also makes this wine particularly special is its three years of lees aging, which imparts a rich, complex structure. Floral notes, vibrant fruit, and a full-bodied, elegant finish, embody the nuanced expression of these Premier Cru sites.
Hunter’s Recommended Pairing: Steak!
“A lot of people forget that acidity is the other component in wine that cuts through fat in food pairing theory, besides tannin. This release of Heri Hodie is 100% Meunier, giving more earth, salt, and nutty flavors; further enhancing a well-marbleized steak pairing. As if anyone needs an excuse to open more Champagne!”

South Australia, Australia
We asked San Antonio: what’s your favorite non-alcoholic wine? The winning bottle was this bold banger from NewBlood. Syrah meets a careful triple distillation process that doesn’t hold back. Certified sustainable and vegan, this wine pairs perfectly with weeknight hangs and hearty meals, offering an innovative and inclusive choice for all wine enthusiasts.
Stephen’s recommended pairing: Turkey Dinner
“This is a great option for a nice turkey dinner. It is a medium bodied wine, that actually does taste like wine, it just has the alcohol removed. You can enjoy a leisurely day and not worry about the drive home as it is non-alcoholic. It is fruit driven with enough weight that the wine shouldn’t over power the meal or be overpowered. Definitely give it a try!”
Stephen, San Antonio Sales
Santa Rita Hills, California
We asked Houston: what’s the best wine for Thanksgiving? The unanimous answer: Donnachadh Estate Pinot Noir. This elegant wine reflects its roots in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, where cool coastal breezes and marine soils shape its distinctive character. Aged in French oak, it delivers vibrant notes of red cherry, cranberry, and a hint of spice, all wrapped in a silky, balanced structure. What makes it truly special is the estate’s commitment to organic farming and a minimalist approach in the cellar, allowing the terroir to shine through every sip.
Danny’s recommended pairings: Roast duck, classic Thanksgiving dishes
“While many growers today are struggling to achieve balance in a rapidly warming world, Donnachadh’s unique north facing exposition in the Sta. Rita Hills creates a wine of great intensity, in a slender form built by freshness and elegance. Whether you’re looking to impress the in-laws or elevate your dinner for one, grab a bottle of Donnachadh Pinot Noir and enjoy the holiday season!”
