Wine Cellars In Dallas, TX: Which Wines To Serve For Thanksgiving

Wine cellars in Dallas, TX are filled with wines that are perfect pairings for just about every kind of meal.  If you have a wine cellar or are planning on having one installed, consider the kind of wine you want to have on hand for this year’s Thanksgiving dinner.  Though your first thought might be to choose a white wine that pairs well with poultry, consider the variety of food you’re going to be serving before you decide.  Of course, you’ll have turkey, but you’ll also be serving buttery mashed potatoes, sweet yams, savory stuffing, gravy, tart cranberries and spiced pumpkin pie.  You might find that white wine isn’t necessarily the best choice for such an array of rich dishes.

Sparkling Wine

Start with a bit of the bubbly.  Champagne or sparkling wine are great for serving before dinner - or even with dinner; but be sure to serve sparkling wine labeled “brut,” which is a dry wine, rather than a sweet sparkling wine like Asti Spumante.

White Wine

For many people, the go-to white wine for poultry dinners is Chardonnay; but Chardonnay generally has an oaky intensity that doesn’t work as well as tangier, fruitier whites like:

  ▪ Riesling, which can be dry or sweet and has a spicy, fruity flavor

  ▪ Gewürtztraminer, which also can be dry or sweet but with clove or nutmeg spice notes

  ▪ Chenin Blanc, which is spicy and slightly sweet

  ▪ Sauvignon Blanc, which is light and crisp with herbaceous flavors

Red Wine

When your dinner is as rich as Thanksgiving dinners usually are, it’s perfectly acceptable to serve red wine with the meal, even though the main course is poultry.  You should, however, avoid Cabernet because its high tannins and tartness are not a great match for turkey.  These reds may work better with the meal:

  ▪ Beaujolais, a light, dry wine with fruity flavors that should be served slightly chilled

  ▪ Pinot Noir, a wine that can be fruity when young, and smoky when older

  ▪ Zinfandel, an intense wine with plummy flavors and spicy or peppery notes

  ▪ Syrah, a spicy wine with black pepper qualities

Dessert Wine

For the best accompaniment for your pumpkin pie, try these dessert wines:

  ▪ Port, a sweet, heavily-fortified wine that is fruity when young

  ▪ Riesling or Gewürtztraminer, a sweet version of the same wine you might drink with dinner

  ▪ Sauternes, a sweet, French wine with vanilla, pineapple and peach notes

  ▪ Asti Spumante, a sweet, Italian sparkling wine that should be served chilled      

Most wine cellars in Dallas, TX are already stocked with at least a few of these wines.  If yours isn’t, it’s time to go shopping!  If you don’t have a wine cellar yet, now is the time to get started.  Call us at Vineyard Wine Cellars in Dallas, TX at (866) 615-4008 or visit us online at www.vineyardwinecellars.com to learn more about us.

Wine Cellars In Dallas, TX: Fill Your Cellar With Great Local Wines

Wine cellars in Dallas, TX are for more than just storing offerings from Spain, France and Italy.  If you own or want to own a wine cellar in North Texas, why not plan on saving at least a little space for wine from your local wineries.  Texas has a long history of wine production, from the 1650s, when Franciscan priests produced wine near what is now El Pas, to the present day, with more than 200 wineries in the state producing over 4,000 tons of wine every year.  Of course, you don’t have to sample wine from all 200 wineries to find some worth cellaring, but you can start with these four Dallas-area wineries:

1 - Eden Hill Winery

Eden Hill Winery is 30 miles north of Dallas in Celina and is open for wine tastings every Sunday from 1 to 6 pm.  If you like what you taste, you can come back Thursday through Saturday to purchase one bottle or a case.  Eden Hill produces award-winning Tempranillo wines made from the noble grape of Spain along with a variety of red wines, white wines and sweet dessert wines.

2 - Landon Winery

Landon Winery is located in the heart of McKinney and is open for wine tastings all day, every day that they are open. Winemaker Bob Landon has accrued more than 20 awards for his wine since he began producing wine in 2004.  Landon bottles a wide variety of wines from white Cabernet Sauvignons to Red Merlots and sparkling wines.

3 - Caudalie Crest Winery

Caudalie Crest is a “boutique” winery also located in Celina and offers tastings on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and by special request.  Caudalie Crest doesn’t produce the variety of wines that larger wineries do, but it does offer a few vibrant reds, crisp whites and fun sweet wines that prove that wine cellars in Dallas, TX don’t have to be big to be good.

4 - Lone Star Wine Cellars

Another McKinney winery, Lone Star Cellars, not only hosts tastings every day in their cozy wine-tasting room, but they also present live music every weekend and produce numerous award-winning wines.  Their red wines include Malbecs, Pinot Noirs and Merlots.  Their white wines include Rieslings, Pinot Grigios and Gewürztraminers.  Additionally, they offer blush wines, dessert wines and library wines that have been cellared on-site to reach peak drinkability.      

Vineyard Wine Cellars in Dallas, TX Will Help You Build the Perfect Cellar

Once you’ve stocked your wine cellar with bottles from local wineries, you can plan weekend road trips to other parts of our great state that are known for their wine production, like the Hill Country around Austin, the High Plains near Lubbock, or the Mesilla Valley near El Paso, where it all started.  But first, make sure you have a great home for your wine by giving us a call at Vineyard Wine Cellars in Dallas, TX to get started on your new wine cellar or updating your existing one.  Visit us online at www.vineyardwinecellars.com to see a gallery of completed cellars, then give us a call at (866)615-4008 to make schedule a consultation.

Wine Cellars In Houston, TX: 3 Ways To Personalize Your Wine Cellar

Wine cellars in Houston, TX serve one basic function and that’s to store wine in a safe environment. But just because that’s their primary purpose doesn’t mean they can’t be a stylish addition to your home that reflects your personality and taste.  In fact, your wine cellar can be the room in your home where you can get really creative. You can make it an inviting gathering place for friends and family, as well as a space to store your wine collection.  Here are three ways to personalize your wine cellar:

1 – Make The Entryway Memorable
The first impression people will have of your wine cellar is the entryway, so why not knock their socks off with a breathtaking entryway that sets the tone for what’s behind the door.  No matter what your wine cellar style is, you can have an entryway that complements it.  If you opt for a wine cellar that has a traditional, Old World feel, you might choose an ornate, wooden door flanked by wrought iron sconces.  If your wine cellar style is more modern, a glass door with sleek, metal hardware and high-tech lighting will create an exciting entrance to your space.  When you work with the right contractor or designer, one who specializes in wine cellars in Houston, TX, the only limit is your own imagination.

2 – Decorate
Without art, your home is just rooms with blank walls.  The same is true of your wine cellar.  Though you’ll have racks of wine bottles, why not use the rest of your space to express yourself with art.  You can choose wine-themed graphic prints, vintage wine posters or original art that can even include your own DIY artwork like mosaic murals or cork art.  You can even choose to have an artist custom-paint a mural onto the walls, but remember to choose a theme or subject that you won’t get tired of quickly.  The right artwork coupled with great lighting can create just the right atmosphere in your wine cellar.

3 – Don’t Forget To Accessorize
Creating a perfect wine cellar is like composing a symphony that requires multiple layers of sound to coalesce into a beautiful piece of music.  Your wine cellar starts with a great layout, to which you add the layers of your interior design style including art, lights and furniture.  The final layer of your wine cellar symphony should be the accessories.  A rolling ladder attached to your wine rack, wine reference books, a prep sink and drying rack, assorted corkscrews, throws and pillows and a humidor are among the many things you can add to your wine cellar to make it complete.
