Our Story
Two Decades of Local Ties
Arielle and Ryan fell hard for each other and the hospitality industry and have worked their way up the Houston hospitality scene for 20 years.
It didn’t take long to notice that a lot of diners were intimidated navigating the wine lists and describing what they wanted. So they started hosting wine classes at local restaurants and eventually in their client’s homes.
In 2020, after the birth of their twins, they decided to make a business out of it. everywine is the product of a combined 40 years of experience introducing their friends to new wines and helping them understand what they’re drinking.
Our Values
Our coaches strive for the perfect balance of informative and fun. We offer honest and practical tools for the casual drinker, though we’re capable of geekin’ out!
Good times. Good people. Good juice. No judgements.
We are absolutely addicted to seeing our guests have ‘AHA moments’ with wine. The only thing more gratifying is handing a big check to our favorite non-profit.
