Houston Wine Geeks at Divino Wine Bar
| April 23, 2008 | ||
Scared of WineSpeak?
Embarrassed when you have to read and order from a wine list? Want to know more about wine and how to enjoy it?
Houston Wine Geeks is an informal group of wine enthusiasts focused on the ins-and-outs of wine appreciation and wine education.
I’m taking a $1,500 wine appreciation course from the International Sommeliers Guild. My ultimate goal: achieving certification as a sommelier. Every Monday I attend wine class from 4pm to 11pm at the University of Houston. Every Wednesday I share what I’ve learned.
The Houston Wine Geeks weekly meetings are my study group. I’m sharing what I learn and I’m there to learn from you, all in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

About Divino Wine Bar and Italian Restaurant
Established in 2001 by father and son team of Jim & Patrick McCray, divino offers an authentic food and wine experience in the tradition of Italy’s much loved trattorias and enotecas.
Divino’s wine program is highlighted by an eclectic, Italian heavy wine list, with as many as thirty wines offered by the glass. A user-friendly pricing policy allows diners to enjoy fine wines for significantly less than at many of Houston?s restaurants.
The kitchen offers both classic and modern dishes that represent the best of regional Italian cooking. Specialties include housemade pastas including the signature “Emily’s Goat Cheese Ravioli,” seasonal specials and exquisitely prepared seafood. A special emphasis is given to the cooking of Emilia-Romagna where Patrick trained as a chef.
