Welcome our newest member of the team, Niki! 🥂

A former art teacher, Niki Sutton doesnt sit down to paint so often these days, but keeps an artistic perspective of curiosity, exploration, and always learning something new. From being introduced to wine during her time at Oporto, to studying sake during the early years of Uchi, to cultivating cocktails and conversations at the venerable Houston art institution of Notsuoh. Delving deeper into wine has presented the perfect challenge- always more to discover; terroir, techniques, stories. She loves to encounter an unexpected pairing or an obscure varietal to enjoy, and is so delighted to bring that enthusiasm to 13 Celsius! Give her a warm welcome this weekend 🧡

On Sunday, June 7th, we are having a déjà vu day and bringing back Yuma HTX, a Cuban and Brazilian-inspired sandwich pop-up known for its bold layers, bright energy, and one-of-a-kind approach to comfort food. We hosted them last November for a fun and funky Sunday Funday, but if you missed out the first time, or just can’t wait to get back a second time, we welcome you to join us from 1pm to 7pm for round two! 🥂

To pair with these flavors, we’ll be offering an extra large selection of our Sunday Discounted Bottle Specials, available until we run out! Bring your friends, find your table, and make an afternoon of it. We can’t wait to pair our wines with such unique and robust flavors, and host some long-time friends of 13 celsius for another rendition of sandwich satiation! 💖

For our June Spotlight Series we are excited to feature the dry wines of Portugal 🍷🇵🇹 Historically, the massive success of Portuguese fortified wines, specifically Port, has overshadowed the diverse array of terroirs and grape varieties that collaboratively express the current trend in Portuguese wines. The story of Portugal’s wine scene over the past centuries has often been oversimplified, this months’ lineup aims to illuminate the complexity that this wine-wonderland brings to the table.

Portugal is a country of vinous extremes. From the zippy, bright and refreshing whites of Vinho Verde to more textured, saline-driven whites from the Azores, Portugal offers an eclectic range. The boisterously big reds of Alentejo, Dão and Douro, along with delightful bottlings of bubbles, highlight the variety available to wine lovers while still embracing long-standing heritage. A point of pride in their vineyards is the dedication to autochthonous grapes that have been cultivated for generations. Also, there has been a significant rise in quality over the last two decades, and many of the top Portuguese reds offer finesse and age-ability comparable to Bordeaux without the hefty Bordeaux price tag.

Here’s what we’re pouring this month by the glass, half-glass and bottle:
• Caves Sao Joao baga/touriga naçional rosé bruto Bairrada ‘23
• Quinta do Ameal loureiro Lima Valley, Vinho Verde ‘24
• Azores Wine Co. arinto Pico, Acores Islands ‘24
• Xisto Ilimitado rabigato/gouveio/códega/viosinho Douro ‘22
• Fitapreta “Vai Nua” touriga naçional Alentejo ‘24
• Quinta de Saes touriga naçional/alfrocheiro/jaen/tinta pinheira Dao ‘21
• Esporao “Monte Velho Reserva” aragonez/trincadeira/syrah/touriga nacional Alentejo ‘22
• Warres “Quinta do Ataide” touriga naçional Vinha do Arco, Douro ’16

From the limestone soils of Saumur in the Loire Valley, Domaine Guiberteau has become one of the benchmark producers for Cabernet Franc. Their 2023 Saumur Rouge is fermented with native yeast and raised with a light touch to preserve freshness, structure, and site expression.

The result is Cab Franc with bright red fruit, crushed stone, graphite, herbs, and fine tannin. Precise, savory, and distinctly Loire 🇫🇷

We’re pouring this bottle and many others throughout May as part of our Monthly Spotlight Series dedicated to Cabernet Franc. Try it by the glass, half-glass and bottle 🍷

Please welcome Dom to the team here at 13 celsius 🥂

Born and raised in Houston, Dominic Claude left at a young age to serve in the United States Navy, where he was stationed in Seattle and traveled extensively around the world. After returning home, he found his way into Houston’s hospitality and wine scene, bringing with him a passion for genuine service, attention to detail, and creating memorable guest experiences.

Before joining 13 Celsius, Dominic worked with Pappas Restaurants at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse and Little’s Oyster Bar, helping refine his approach to polished, high-quality hospitality. He has also continued developing his wine knowledge alongside Brandon Kerne of AOC and earned his Introductory Sommelier certification through the Court of Master Sommeliers, with plans to pursue further certification in the future.

Join us in welcoming Alessandro Giacosa, visiting from Piedmont, Italy and representing his family’s estate, Giacosa Fratelli. On Monday, May 11th from 5–7pm, we’ll be pouring a thoughtful lineup of his family’s five wines for $20/flight 🍷🇮🇹

For five generations Giacosa Fratelli winery has been handed down from father to son. With 120 acres across the different communes and crus of Barolo and Barbaresco, they have boasted some of the best wines of Piemonte since 1895. The winery began with a stroke of luck when Giuseppe Giacosa won the Italian lottery and purchased the family vineyards that are now run by Mauro and his twin brother Alessandro. They have taken the reigns with pride and aim to blend tradition with innovation so as to honor their family legacy while still bringing forth a fresh perspective.

While Giacosa Fratelli’s vineyards are spread across some of Piedmont’s most pedigreed sites, terroir alone is not their defining variable. What truly distinguishes them is their staunch dedication to sustainability. The estate is powered entirely by solar energy, employs systems to capture and repurpose CO₂ generated during fermentation, and utilizes a closed-loop water management program that harvests and redistributes rainwater for vineyard use. Beyond these core initiatives, additional measures are in place to systematically reduce their overall carbon load as they work toward a zero-emissions production model. Their legacy blends Giuseppe Giacosa’s original dream with generations of dedication to the land, the vines, and sustainable practices that protect and preserve the integrity of the Giacosa wines.

Allesandro is known for his magnetic energy and charisma, so don’t miss out on meeting this incredible intellect and spend a Monday evening immersed in Italian ideology. No RSVP required- first come, first seated 🥂

For May’s chapter of our monthly Spotlight Series, we’re shifting the lens from geography to grape, focusing on Cabernet Franc: a varietal that tends to speak a little softer but carries a long, complicated story beneath the surface 🍇🍷

Often overshadowed by its more famous offspring, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc (shortened to cab franc) rarely asks for attention, although it’s more than earned it. Over the last decade, it has begun to reassert itself in wine growing countries around the world. While its roots are firmly planted in France (particularly in the Loire Valley) its voice travels well. In California, Italy, and Argentina, Cabernet Franc takes on new inflections. It can be all restraint and quiet tension in one glass, then broaden into something darker, rounder, more textural in the next.
Here’s what we’re pouring:

• Catherine & Pierre Breton “Trinch” cabernet franc Bourgueil, Loire, France
• Les Georges cabernet franc Chinon, Loire, France
• Domaine Filliatreau “Château Fouquet” cabernet franc Saumur, Loire, France
• La Giarata cabernet franc Veneto, Italia
• Ernesto Catena “Siesta” cabernet franc Mendoza, Argentina
• Lieu Dit cabernet franc Santa Ynez Valley, California
• Truchard cabernet franc Napa Valley, California

These cab franc selections will be available
by the glass, half-glass, and bottle all month long (while supplies last)! 🍇🍷
