Girouard Vines L.L.C Information

Girouard Vines is an urban winery located in the Bend Development of downtown Tulsa's East Village District. The small, family owned and operated winery was founded by Chris Girouard in 2007 to bring the fruit of his father's hybrid vines to market. Testing of George Girouard Hybrids is currently underway in a small vineyard in South Tulsa and in a block within the Heringer Estates Vineyard in Clarksburg, California. In the meantime, Girouard Vines is proud to offer the Tulsa Deco label. As one of the top four Art Deco cities in the country, Tulsa's rich history deserves to be honored with a special label. And as Tulsa's only urban winery, Girouard Vines is the natural choice to produce that series. Currently, there are three award-winning wines in the Tulsa Deco label series (all produced from grapes grown and crushed in California). The three Tulsa Deco wines are a 2007 Sauvignon Blanc featuring the historic "Warehouse Market" on 11th and Elgin, "Fire Alarm Red" featuring the Public Work's Fire Alarm Building on 8th Street just west of Peoria, and a 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon honoring the "Westhope" residence, Tulsa's only Frank Lloyd Wright structure. Our fourth Tulsa Deco wine "Atlas Life", a 2008 Chardonnay, was released in June 2010. The label features Downtown Tulsa's Atlas Life Building that recently opened as a boutique hotel operated by Marriot. Early this fall Girouard Vines will release a Merlot in the Tulsa Deco Series. Tulsa Deco wines are widely available in Tulsa's restaurants and retail bottles shops where fine wines are sold.
