voice In crafting the voice for Uncork Texas Wines, it's crucial to capture the unique character of the region's winemaking. It should conjure rugged authenticity and sophistication, mirroring the diverse climates that make up Texas.

The tone should evoke the sun-drenched vineyards and pioneering spirit of Texan winemakers. It should convey a sense of community and fun, inviting patrons to embark on a sensory journey that celebrates the rich tapestry of flavors, aromas, and stories woven into every bottle of Texas wine. The language should be warm, inviting, and proudly reflective of the state's commitment to supporting and showcasing its local wineries.

PRINTING Find Your Perfect Match This Fall This October Wine Month, we added a twist to your favorite wine by heating it up with exciting additions that are sure to warm you to the core.

FALL PAIRINGS

Shining Stars: shaved beef, honey, figs The aroma of red wine simmering on the stove with citrus, spices, and a little brandy fills the house. When mixing up your Mulled Wine, select a red that is slightly fruity, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon. With the strong flavors of citrus, clove, cinnamon, & cardamom, this warm drink is a great starter that pairs with the flavors of your favorite shaved beef and the sweetness of the honey and figs that adorn your charcuterie board. The tannins in this drink also pair well with the powerful flavors of blue cheese and dark chocolate.

Texas Essentials: pear, creamy cheeses, brown butter sage pasta Warm crisp apple cider and Madeira wine on the stove or over the campfire makes the perfect Wassail! Madeira wine is considered a dessert wine, with flavors of carmel, dried fruit, and complex spices. The flavor of the Madeira pairs nicely with ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and citrus. With all these complex fall flavors, this drink pairs perfectly with ham, turkey, and your favorite creamy cheese like brie. It also pairs well with squash, pumpkin, apple, pear, and brown butter sage pasta. It’s perfect for an Autumn celebration with friends, or a romantic night in.

Fixins: dessert charcuterie board, cider donuts, stone fruits End your evening with an adult twist to hot chocolate, combined with your favorite red wine, like a Pinot Noir. Bittersweet Hot Chocolate with Red Wine paired with a fall dessert charcuterie board filled with Fall favorites like toasted marshmallows, cider donuts, and stone fruits. Adding citrus flavors such as orange and dried cranberry will cut through the sweetness with the help of dark chocolate and assorted nuts. All in all, a delightful way to end the night before braving the brisk Autumn breeze again.

WINE MONTH PAIRINGS

SHINING STARS: Mascarpone & Fresh Figs Mascarpone has a hint of sweet and acidic flavors. With its buttery and almost nutty flavor; this cheese spreads easily on your board. Be sure to slice ripe figs and add some berry and honey flavors.

These combinations of flavors are a perfect match to a nicely chilled Tannat Rosé, with its refreshing berries and cream flavor.

Texas Essential: Rolen’s Honey, Fig Jam, Iberico Coppa, & Charlie’s Treats Cinnamon Sugar Pecans Honey from GO TEXAN partner Rolen's Honey and a nice rich fig jam are the perfect addition to this board. The Cinnamon Sugar Pecans from Charlie’s Treats really add to the holiday spice. The blend of all these flavors are the perfect match to the Merlot’s spice of the pecans and fruity flavors.

The medium acidity of this wine helps cut through the fattiness of the Mascarpone and sweetness of the honey. The Iberico Coppa brings a nice saltiness to balance all the flavors out. This combination blends perfectly with your favorite Texas Merlot.

Fixins: Edible Flowers, sliced apples & pears and brioche bread Chenin Blanc has a sweet crisp flavor that has hints of nectar. This wine will enhance the flavors throughout the board, bringing out flowery aromas and cutting through the buttery taste of the brioche bread.
