The sommelier, who usually received wine from distributors at The Grape, found herself overwhelmed by wine options at local stores.
“I remember walking into Total Wine thinking, ‘Oh my God, how am I going to even navigate this,’” Luscher told Dallas News.
She began a home wine list by trying numerous wines with friends and her husband and previous co-owner of The Grape, Brian Luscher.
