The lights are low, the table cleared, and a small flight of bottles waits like a challenge at the edge of the table. In a Houston living room, Marc Borel arrives with four wines or three spirits selected to your theme—French regions, blind flights, or tequila showdowns—and turns your private space into a focused tasting. Conversations tighten; aromas sharpen; the city hums beyond the windows.
