Today, I’m taking a break from posting about last week’s California trip to share notes from my tasting yesterday in Houston with rockstar winemaker Pax Mahle from California (above, right).

The whole town was buzzing — literally and figuratively — with his visit.

I’ve posted this morning about my audience with him for the Houston Press.

It’s a whole new California and Pax is on the cutting-edge.

Thanks for reading and buon weekend yall!
