We talked about wine education, appreciating other palates (or not), wine travels, the Houston Livestock Show &amp; Rodeo Wine Competition, and traded blogging tales and even more wine stories. The Houston wine scene is alive and well, and we are doing our best to share it with you, our readers.<\/p>\n<p>We all agreed that we love to read the comments and emails from our readers (hint, hint), even (and sometimes especially) when a commenter makes us see something in a completely different light.\u00a0 So please keep those opinions and observations coming and don&#8217;t be afraid to tell us what you think. Just do it respectfully. You do that and we&#8217;ll do our best to get you thinking&#8230; and enjoying delicious wines here in Houston and beyond our city.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the pleasure of toasting and dining at the Tasting Room in Uptown Park last week with fellow Houston wine bloggers (as featured in Jeremy&#8217;s photo, clockwise): Jamie Glover Dabbs, Social Media Director for The Tasting Room and Max&#8217;s Wine Dive and\u00a0 blogger at The Black Door (me) Bear Dalton, fine wine buyer of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":127,"featured_media":3772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[625,623],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-houston-area-wine-events","category-mtb-archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/127"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13693\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
