Living in Ft. Worth, Texas... also known as Cowtown, I have found that this is one of the fastest growing regions for the consumption of fine wine.  My name is Wade Sanders, a 5th generation Texan, and I started selling wine years ago in the restaurant industry. As the hobby of consuming wine turned to a full on educated passion, well, I began to educate and show the masses that just because you "don't know" or "know about" wine doesn't mean you can't use help finding the gems in an industry that is FLOODED with great wine.  Whether you're just starting out buying your first bottle of wine, hosting a party, buying a gift, or adding to that evergrowing selection in your cellar my "Dude's Picks" will help with just about any occasion. 

Oh, you're still wondering who the heck "The Dude" is?  Having started with just an email address of cowtownwinedude@ blah, blah... people soon just began referring to me as "The Dude."  Not to mention I am a big fan of the Cohen brother's film, The Big Lebowski.  It's a nickname that has helped serve as both a pulpit and stereotype breaker that comes with a storied passionate industry surrounded by staunch 'old school' thinking.  The Dude will tell you like it is without too much 'technical talk.' 

After all,  The Dude Abides!!
