Last Friday, September 26, we asked you to share with us your favorite spot to drink wine in Houston for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the 2014 Iron Sommelier competition benefiting the Periwinkle Foundation, and we have drawn the winners!

Congratulations, Nicole Buergers (Facebook) and Renia B. (@GristleNGossip), you both have won a pair of tickets (valued at $300) to the much-anticipated wine event this Thursday, October 2. Please email sidedish@my-table.com for more information.

While there were only two winners drawn, we received ample entries, and with so many restaurant and wine bar recommendations, we had to share a few of your responses. Not that we needed convincing, but now it’s even more evident that Houston is indeed a winos’ watering hole.
