Some of Houston’s top restaurants dished out some bites at the 14th Houston Cellar Classic Saturday at The Tasting Room’s Uptown Park location.
The event, held annually by the Tasting Room, benefits Genesys Works Houston, which provides skills training and work experience for high school students in underserved communities. Guests moved from table to table, sampling up to 75 wines from across the world and enjoying tastings from eateries like Uchi, PoitÃn, Bosscat Kitchen & Libations, and the newly opened Sing, among other places.
VIP guests had the opportunity to sample an additional 25 high-end bottles. Chef Brandi Key, Houston Food Finder’s Pheadra Cook, and master sommelier David Keck judged the food, and High-Tech Rednecks performed on the overcast and cool day.Â
After spending his life in Philadelphia, Boston, and New York City, Timothy Malcolm left the East Coast in July 2018 to become the dining editor of Houstonia. He brings with him a wife, daughter, and a pair of hiking poles that are collecting dust in a closet inside his Heights bungalow.
Along with writing about food and drink for Houstonia, and eating and drinking his way through the city, Timothy is the author of an upcoming travel guide titled Appalachian Trail Road Trip. His work has also appeared in Backpacker, October, Paste, and publications across the New York metropolitan area. Now that he’s not hiking mountains, Timothy collects yacht rock records, visits ballparks, and trusts the process of his beloved 76ers.
