#GuipzotAmor
Like our roots in the Westside, our love for wine, history, and community runs deep.
Salena Guipzot (@salenaylosvinos), is a third-generation Westside(r), who grew up nomadic in art, travel, and now vino. Salena began her wine journey in 2010 while living in Portland, OR, spending endless summers in the Dundee Hills of Oregon, sipping on plenty of Pinot Noir. It was when she and her husband of ten years, Eduardo "Lalo" Guipzot, decided to celebrate their anniversary by visiting a pueblo mágico, Cuatrociénegas, Coahuila, is where she had her very first Mexican wine, Anakoba - Cuatro2 (which remains one of her favorites to this day). Eduardo, a denizen of Escobedo, Coahuila, a pueblito of 400 people or so, nestled outside of San Buenaventura, Coahuila. Eduardo can trace his roots to a Frenchman entering Mexico through the Vera Cruz port in the late 1800s. His grandfather born in a hacienda in San Luis Potosi, traveled North to Coahuila, settling his family in Escobedo, Coahuila., Mexico. Eduardo's father, who passed in 2021, lived in the Westside during the 1960's while helping to build out the Tower of America for the World's Fair.​
​
So, when it came to opening the first Mexican wine shop + tasting room in the country, Salena & Eduardo chose to open Casa Guipzot - vinos de Mexico (Sept. 2, 2022) in el corazón of San Antonio's Westside. In loving memory of their loved ones who came before them.

We have so much to be thankful for as we approach our second year in business, from our robust wine club to hosting our annual VinoFest this October 18th - 19th at La Villita.
