… Charles Kirkwood, who now works directly with the Block 7 Wine Company’s high-end clients, seems to be in accord with Skopp, noting that Burgundy has been strong for him although even the less-heralded labels don’t come cheaply.

“They’re roughly 80 percent of our sales,” he estimates, while calling Houston one of the world’s biggest markets for Burgundy. “We’ll keep trying to push the envelope. We’ve tried to focus on varieties and regions that aren’t overly popular, and we’ll continue doing it. I’ll be looking at the white wines of Austria, the dry rieslings, the dry muscats and the grüner veltliners, as we head toward summer.”
