The Night I Learned Chicken Fried Steak Is Not Chicken
Wine teaches you humility. But I did not expect that lesson to arrive through chicken fried steak.

The Indian Thanksgiving Menu paired with wines from around the world

It was an unusually cool summer morning in Paso—the kind that slows everything down, stretches the season, and hints at a vintage that might take its time.
I had come to Sixmilebridge for a sensory tasting with Anthony Yount. Two white wines from LXV. Two from his cellar. Two from France. A shared table and an open conversation.

I didn’t plan to fall in love. Certainly not with a Viognier. But Viognier hit like a velvet sledgehammer halfway through a spice pairing at Epoch Wines—mid-focaccia dunk, butter chicken on the tongue.

We invite you to explore our entire portfolio of Cabernet Franc wines, each offering a unique expression of this beloved grape.

At LXV Wine, we have reframed the art of wine tasting by pairing each wine with a curated spice blend, designed to enhance or contrast the wine’s inherent qualities. This unique approach creates an immersive sensory experience, transforming a traditional tasting into a dynamic exploration of flavor, texture, and terroir.
