VintageTexas chronicles Russ Kane’s rants and raves, interviews, and experiences in his search to define the elusive “Texas Terrior”.
Russ Kane (The Texas WineSlinger) is a wine writer with articles and tasting notes that have appeared in local and regional publications including Texas Culinary Thymes, ArtsHouston, Baycomber, My Table Magazine, and Wineandcuisine.com. He recently did a guest tasting of California Cabernets featured in the My-Table August-September 2008 issue and an article, ”Blogs: The Virtual Gutenburg Press” in the My-Table April-May 2009 issue.
Russ has organized and moderated winemaker panels at major festivals including “Hot Weather, Cool Wines” at the SAVUER Texas Hill Country Wine & Food Festival, and “Mediterranean Cowboys” and “Pinot Gringos” at the Grand Wine and Food Affair. Yes – “Mediterranean Cowboys” and “Pinot Gringos” are strange names for wine panels; but, this is Texas!
He was a Houston entrepreneur for over 20 years, traveled extensively and is actively interested in regional cuisines, wine education, and wine/food pairing. Both Russ Kane and his wife, Delia Cuellar, come from families with restaurant ties and understand the qualities of wine and food in a context of family, friends and acquaintances.
In 2009, VintageTexas won the 2009 Press Award from the Texas Wine and Grapegrowers Association for Texas wine coverage.
