All my LGBT friends, family, and supporters of the LGBT community. I don't ever post things like this but I wanted to bring it up. My wife and I went on a wine tour last year for our anniversary and one place that we loved the one at is called Majek Winery, not far outside Houston. We had sense gone back twice to pick our wine up, and both times that we went the atmosphere complete changed when we walked in holding hands. I ended up canceling our membership, and actually wrote an email why we canceled. At NO POINT did they ever apologize for the way that we were treated, and just took our cancellation. When they finally called after a month of requesting to cancel, I spoke with the owner, who gave me a run around about the wine, canceled the membership, and again at no point addressed the e-mail I sent. We are huge wine loves and it is a shame that we canceled, however I feel like I should make those aware who love wine as much as we do; and to be aware of this place if you are going on a weekend wine tour.

There was also a bridal party nearby that brought a fun, lighthearted energy to the atmosphere and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
This visit turned an unexpected weekend into a memorable one. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and...
   Read moreMy first visit to any vineyard or winery. I accompanied my wife, and neither of us knew what to expect. We are not really wine drinkers; I only have what I consider a glass of red wine each evening, after my doctor’s suggestion.
We were quickly greeted, and shown a table. In a short amount of time, our server, Allie, introduced herself to us. We explained that neither of us had ever been to a winery, nor a wine tasting event, so we were going to require some coaching. Allie was extremely friendly and personable, and the three of us were immediately laughing and cutting up. And we had not even had our first sip of wine!
Allie explained to us the different wines on the list, and made recommendations based on our level of inexperience with wine.
Allie and Majek’s Winery made my wife’s and my first visit to a winery and wine tasting, one that we will remember for...
