20200626 Weekly Covid-19 Curbside News - Tasting Room Closed/Curbside Open

Hi //FirstName//,

Due to the spike in COVID-19 hospitalization rates, the Governor ordered us (really all Bars, Taprooms, and Tasting Rooms across Texas), to close our Tasting Room as of Noon today.  While it is frustrating to be lumped in with a handful of businesses who put profits above the health of team members and customers, with the spike of hospitalizations, it was inevitable that the State would have to take action. Wash your hands, maintain social distance, stay at home if you don't need to be out, and for crying out loud, Wear Your Masks!!!

Tasting Room CLOSED

Curbside Pick Up Continues

Place your orders online 24x7, or call our special hotline 512-673-8250 during curbside hours, then pick up your wine. Please indicate in the special instructions the approximate date and time you will be picking up. Curbside hours:

• Thursday and Friday 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM
• Saturday and Sunday 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM

For your safety and ours, please remain in your car when you arrive in the parking lot then call or text us at 512-673-8250 and we will deliver your order to your car. Pop the trunk or open your back door then return to your seat. Our team will place the wine in your car while maintaining the 6-foot social distancing space. Thank you for helping to keep all of us safe! 

Note that we only monitor the hotline during the above business hours.
