Namaste & Howdy Y'all!

I'm very proud at Whip In to specialize & present unusual, delicious, small-production wines that you won't find in the usual supermarkets or Walmart-like liquor warehouses (i.e. Spec's). 

I favor wines from the south of France as well as New World wines with restraint & finesse. I have liters of cotes du rhones & rose. Also, malbecs & bonarda from south America. Carmenere is now also very well represented & great quality for the dollar. Lastly, my guilty pleasure of Zinfandel is filling our shelves for your honest quaffing.

With great sources of wines from importers such as Neal Rosenthal, Kermit Lynch, Douglass Skopp, Jose Pastor, Charles Neal, Becky Waserman, and many more, I have gathered a wide range of fruit of the vine to please most any discerning taste.

Lastly, I love rose (pink wines). Stop by soon to enjoy a world of the Pink to help you thru the Texas Heat!!

After wasting my twenties away in the San Francisco Bay Area, I started to respect myself enough as a Texan and moved back with my wife and kid, subsequently thrilling Mom&Pop that I might take over the family store. Stemming from cafe daze and wine bar nights, I've redeveloped the cornershop to everything I miss of those California dreams. Ask me about ALL the beer and wine, cuz I know where everything is. I also enjoy loud music, BBQ, pizza, Indian food, sunsets, mountains, biking and long walks with my wife and kid.

Born & raised in El Paso, Gabe figured out quickly after many visits that Austin was where ITs at. With too many years spent suffering the corporate food service chain, we are thrilled to have his copious skills & wonderful persona to help steer the ship. His discerning palate & acumen for quality over quantity guide his choices for our wine department, and don't hesitate to ask him about the beers & our food as well. He enjoys yoga, biking, running (when being chased) , traveling with buddies to Central & South America, scuba diving & that special smile from that special someone!
