We invite you to savor the stories, landscapes, and craft of Sonoma wine on Wednesday, September 16th, from 5 PM to 7 PM for an inviting flight night with Matt Licklider of LIOCO Winery. This is a unique opportunity to meet the winemaker, hear the thinking behind the wines, and discover the distinctive character of Sonoma wines firsthand.

LIOCO is owned and operated by husband-wife duo Matt and Sara Licklider and their small team, who spend the majority of their time lost in the wilds of California. With no estate vineyards of its own, LIOCO sources fruit from small, family-owned ranches spread across four hundred miles and five counties. The LIOCO team believes there is a finite number of truly great vineyard sites in every region — locations with the magic combination of soil, sun, temperature, water, aspect, flora, and fauna.

That belief guides each bottle: every wine from LIOCO features cartography as art, reflecting the passion that led the winery to hunt down California’s best plots of land like the Grand Cru plots of Burgundy. Expect wines with freshness, nuance, and a strong sense of origin—bottles that invite you to slow down, taste closely, and follow the map from vineyard to glass.

Next time you visit Sonoma you can find LIOCO in Healdsburg, California, where they are spinning records in their Euro-wine-bar-inspired tasting room. However, next Wednesday they are coming to us with a flight of five wines, and an evening of conversation and discovery with this wonderful winemaker.

The Line Up:
• 2025 Albariño
• 2024 Sonoma County Chardonnay
• 2024 “Indica” Carignan
• 2023 “Saveria Vineyard” Pinot Noir
• 2021 “Fondo” Cabernet Sauvignon

$27/Flight. No RSVP required

On Saturday, September 12th, from 10 AM to 12 PM, Chef Rebecca Masson of Fluff Bake Bar will host us for her weekly Saturday morning collaboration pop-up, featuring baked goods inspired by the 13 celsius menu. Adele, Chef Joe and Elyse will be at the front of the line at Fluff Bake Bar, 1701 W 15th St, Houston, to say hello as you grab some truly delectable baked goodies! 🥐😋

Known as the “Sugar Fairy” around Houston, Rebecca Masson founded Fluff Bake Bar in 2011 and is considered one of the South’s most celebrated independent bakeries. A Wyoming native, Rebecca took a leap of faith in 1999 when she enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. She went on to earn a coveted internship at the legendary Le Bristol Hotel, where she trained under acclaimed pastry chef Gilles Marchal and experienced firsthand the precision and discipline of Michelin-starred pastry kitchens.

Chef Rebecca collaborates with a different chef or local business almost every Saturday morning to feature wildly inventive pastries that combine the flavors of the guest stars’ food menu with Rebecca’s classical French techniques. There will be four exquisite options featuring familiar dishes from the 13 celsius food menu wrapped in an entirely new package!

Ready for a little adventure? This September, we’re heading to Greece —where ancient winemaking traditions meet some seriously exciting grapes you may have never tried before. With 300+ native grape varieties, Greece is one of the wine world’s best-kept secrets! Most of these grapes are found almost exclusively in Greece, making every bottle feel like a chance to discover something new. So come thirsty, bring your curiosity, and join us all September for our “super-Greeky” Spotlight Series: Greece! 🇬🇷🏺

Known for its endless coastlines, the many mountains of the Balkan peninsula play a more significant role in the character of the mainland wines from Greece. Combined with the wines from the islands and the major influence of indigenous grapes, there is a wealth of diversity throughout these wines. From lush, saline driven white wines, to fruity and fresh whites made from pink-skinned grapes, to savory and vibrantly-acidic reds, the layers of distinction continue.

The Greek wine industry peaked between the fourth and sixth centuries BCE, and has had a tumultuous road since. However, there has been a renaissance happening over the past decade or two in the vineyards and wineries of Greece, bringing the world to rediscover these unique wines. New wineries, new faces and new ideas are popping up at every harvest and this rapid acceleration has created world-wide interest in the new dawn of Greek wines...so jump on board and let us share our knowledge of this energetic and dynamic wine region. Stop by for a glass, half-glass, or bottle and celebrate Greek Wines with us all September long! 🧡

Less than a week left to explore Riesling from around the world 🌏

Seppeltsfield’s Watervale Single Vineyard Riesling hails from Clare Valley, Australia. Dry, bright, mineral-driven, and full of citrus and crisp acidity. A beautiful reminder that Riesling doesn’t have to be sweet.

Our Riesling Monthly Spotlight ends soon. Come taste through the lineup before it’s gone 🥂

Nearly 100 years of history stand within these walls 🧱

From the building’s earliest days to the home of 13 celsius today, this place has changed, evolved, and continued to be part of Houston’s story 🧡

And as we approach 13 celsius’ 20th anniversary alongside the 100th birthday of our historic building, we’re looking forward to celebrating both the past and everything still to come.

Stay tuned. We have a lot to celebrate 🥂

Please join us tomorrow, Thursday, August 13th, from 5-7PM for a flight night with west-coast icon Mark Vlossak of St. Innocent and discover the philosophy of how his prominent Oregon winery honors its grapes and the land upon which the fruit is grown 💚🍷

Mark Vlossak had an unusual upbringing. His father was a wine educator and importer who instilled his passion for wine in Mark at the tender age of seven. Mark’s mother trained under a master chef and prepared meals to accompany the wines being tasted. Mark was raised to believe it is a wine’s job to extend the pleasure of a meal, and therefore his focus is on food friendly, single vineyard designated wines. He uses grapes grown in several top vineyards located throughout Oregon’s Willamette Valley, in addition to his own vineyards, which he tends.

Mark apprenticed under Fred Arterberry Jr., the first Oregonian to make vineyard-designated Pinot Noir and the first person to make Oregon sparkling wine. If you ever have the pleasure of visiting the Willamette, this is one of our top recommendations for wineries to make time to attend. Should you venture up north, you can taste Mark’s traditional method sparkling wines in their tasting room, alongside some extraordinary bites created, cooked and curated by he and his wife!

Before you hop on a flight across country, come embrace Mark’s hospitality here in Houston, and join us tomorrow to welcome him and delve into his life long passion with a flight of four wines.

Join us on Saturday, August 15th from 1-3pm and elevate your German wine knowledge from kindergarten status to advanced. We will briefly quench your craving of wanderlust by diving into many of the famous Anbaugebiete (wine regions) that chisel Germany’s unique wine culture. We will blitz your palate with an electric array of Rieslings, and unique bottlings of Muskateller and Spätburgunder. From Feinherb to Trocken we will guide you through decoding German wine labels and enlighten you as to why this grape is always a Sommelier favorite! 💛🥂

During the afternoon, we will taste through 11 different wine styles including a Sekt (sparkling wine), a range of renditions of the noble Riesling grape, three non-riesling whites and two reds. Whilst one of the driving points of this class is to emphasize that not all Riesling is sweet, the luscious nature of this grape is one of it’s defining features, so we will explore a couple of wines layered with nectar-like qualities.

Riesling is one of the world’s prominent wine grapes that is extremely malleable when it comes to ripeness and winemaking, and Germany produces almost half of the world’s production! From slate and smoke to peach and petrol, unearth the layers that this cool-climate royalty has to offer.

Our instructors will guide you through each wine and discuss the specific regions, terroirs and history of the wine producers. As always, after the class, there will be an opportunity to take home your favorite bottle(s) at a one-day-only, special retail price.

Led by your favorite wine bar GM, Adele Wade and Certified Sommelier Elyse Wilson, this class will have another very special guest instructor. David Blackburn of Skurnik Wines and Spirits, the leading German wine distribution company in the U.S. He is one of the most knowledgeable German wine-educators in Houston and curated this class from his portfolio.
