We believe that a company thrives when strong women are a part of it, and we couldn't be prouder of having many phenomenal women in our roster. In honor of Women's History Month, we took a moment to ask the amazing women leaders of ERHG some questions about the hospitality industry.

Founded in 2020, Trosi Farms is the labor of love of forager, Will Nikkel, and supplier of produce to all ERHG restaurants.

Fire - the most universal cooking tool in the world. Working with flame, smoke, and temperature can create endless combinations in a dish.

This year Emmer & Rye turns nine. Sustainability is more than a word at Emmer, it's at the heart of our mission and many of the practices we do at E&R have become foundational for our group and other concepts. As we look toward a new decade of service, we reflect on the strategies that keep us going, and we pay respect to the challenges we overcame to get here.

For some, wine is a fascinating exploration of nature and science. For others, wine is either red or white and is the perfect accompaniment to dinner. For us, wine is a love language.

One of the wonderful side effects of having distinct concepts that explore different cuisines is that it allows our Wine Director, Ali Schmidt, to explore the many sides of the wine industry. Ali has been on our team for over 5 years starting as a manager at Emmer and Rye. Always with a passion for wine, it became very clear that Ali possessed the amazing talent to make wine both geeky and approachable.

Now, with the addition of Pullman Market in San Antonio, Ali curates over 1,600 bottles at any given moment and works with over 300 front of the house team members to get them stoked about wine. Yep, Ali Schmidt is a badass.

With October being Texas Wine Month, we decided it was time to share a bit about what makes each wine program so special. Settle in (maybe with a glass of wine?) and discover the "Why" behind our wine lists.
