Have you tried our newest Wine Tasting Experience yet?

Our Prestige Tasting began just this Spring. Prestige in French means respect or admiration. For this experience, we've selected wines that we hope will have you leaving with respect and admiration for what we do.

You'll enjoy three pairs of wines poured side by side. Offerings include Library, Allocated, or Current Release wines. It's an educational, comparative tasting that showcases some of the many variations in wine production that lead to the creation of unique wines, including vintage variations, aging decisions, vine age, vineyard location, etc.

Join us at the back table for 1 hr & 30 mins on Saturdays at either 11am or 2:30pm. Reservations available here: calaiswinery.com/prestige-tasting/

They're back! After three years aging in barrel and two years in bottle, our signature Bordeaux blends are ready to be released.

They're the final two releases from a vintage that could be our best ever, 2020.

The Right Bank (RD) is again Cabernet Franc dominant, along with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It also received a score of 95 points from Decanter Magazine!

The Left Bank (RG) is, as always, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. The next biggest portion is actually Petit Verdot, followed by a bit of Carménère. And not to be outdone, it received a score of 96 points from Jonathan Cristaldi.

They're both bold, lush, and age worthy - a perfect exclamation mark on a fantastic year!

As a leader in producing premier wines from 100% Texas grapes, we want you to experience the quintessence of what Texas offers. Visit Calais Winery today.

Allocation Members - have you taken advantage of the Spring Allocation release yet?

Released just earlier this month, we have the return of our Blue Mountain Trail Cabernet Sauvignon from Fort Davis in Far West Texas! In 2021, this vineyard proved why it is so special, producing gorgeous, tiny clusters that were hand harvested, cold-soaked, slow fermented, and then kept on the skins for extended maceration. The result is a bold, layered wine with immense flavor and aging potential.

Along with it, we have just our third-ever release of a Cabernet Franc Reserve! It's 100%, single-varietal from Newsom Vineyards and also the 2021 vintage. The hotter, dryer year in the High Plains created small berries that were intensely ripe. The resulting wine is lush with concentrated aromas and flavors, yet has a well-balanced palate.

At only about 120 cases produced for both wines, don't wait too long - these amazing wines will go fast!

It's almost gone! We're down to the last few cases of our 2019 TX RD. This Right-Bank Bordeaux Blend that's mostly Cabernet Franc, along with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, has been really shining lately. And since our 2019's are a drink-now vintage, it's ready for you to enjoy!

Available on our website or in the Cave. And if you'd like to try it, we've still got appointments available this weekend! Santé!

We received some exciting news!

As some of you know, we recently worked with a friend to export a few cases of wine to Japan. We just learned that some of that wine has found a home at the New York Grill restaurant in the Park Hyatt, Tokyo. That's the same hotel that the movie Lost in Translation was filmed at! Not to mention that's some great company to be with on the list!

So, if you find yourself there, you can enjoy some Texas wine! Santé!
