HE SAID...SHE SAID...

We LOVE what people are saying!

“‘Elevated Tex-Mex’ is what Lasco is calling this new white tablecloth endeavor that looks very much like an indulgent steakhouse with its black and ivory color scheme interrupted by bursts of crimson upholstery and the sensuous glow of chandeliers wrapped in lampshades of black negligee sheer fabric.” Houston Chronicle, Food Editor Greg Morago, Review of Añejo “What makes Flow Juice Bar a hit is the variety it offers. Sure there are great cold-pressed juices like the Pearrific or the Green Machine, but there is also a variety of smoothies, healthy snacks, and cleanse programs that can be followed for 1, 3, or 7 days.” EATER Denver, Editor Andra Zeppelin “The food was excellent, but more importantly it seemed perfectly calibrated to complement the wine The Tasting Room puts front and center.” CultureMap, Houston Food Editor - Sarah Rufca “...top-notch food from Chef Erica Beneke. Don’t miss their house-made jalapeño and buttermilk-marinated chicken, deep-fried slow and low, served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and Texas toast.” Fox News on MAX’s Wine Dive Austin “Boiler House is an upscale restaurant with amazing food and an awareness of gluten-free needs,” USA Today10Best “MAX’s [Wine Dive] fried chicken may very well be the best I’ve eaten, but I’m also smitten with the MAX ‘n Cheese.” The Daily Meal, Houston Food and Travel Writer - Leah Walker “MAX’s Wine Dive… where buttermilk-soaked, jalapeño-infused fried chicken hits the spot with a glass of bubbles.” Southern Living “MAX’s Wine Dive is a driving force behind the ‘classy comfort food’ movement in Texas. The fried-chicken-liver poor boy is brilliant, and if you want to know what kind of wine to pair with a ‘haute’ dog - a beef frankfurter slathered with chili and topped with cotija cheese this is the place that will help you figure it out.” re: Named one of the “50 Best Restaurants” in Houston, Houstonia Magazine “Yes, MAX’s Wine Dive is the kind of joint where ordering a glass of bubbles with fried chicken is par for the course.” Travel + Leisure, America’s Best Fried Chicken “The ensuing food orgy will be something you remember for the rest of your life...” re: MAX’s Wine Dive burger ranked #16 burger in all of Texas, Texas Monthly “You made The Tasting Room a MUST when visiting Houston.” Fernando Martin del Campo, Director of Procurement - Latin America, Kellog Company “...there it is - a serious vine-minded inventory set in an attractive, casual space boasting an inviting patio hugging Lake Houston. Imagine an evening sunset with the water shimmering - a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc in one hand and a cracker with a French triple cream brie in the other. Some would say that’s as good as it gets.” Houston Chronicle, Food Editor - Greg Morago, Review of The Tasting Room-Kings Harbor

Key players & Management Team

JERRY LASCO, Founder, President, CEO [email protected] Jerry Lasco is the Founder, President and CEO of Lasco Enterprises, LLC, the parent company of The Tasting Room Wine Café, MAX’s Wine Dive, Boiler House Texas Grill & Wine Garden, Flow Juice Bar and Añejo. Jerry began his entrepreneurial career in 2003 when he opened The Tasting Room at Uptown Park, Houston’s first wine bar to also sell retail wine. After garnering a loyal following in the Galleria neighborhood, Jerry developed a second concept called MAX’s Wine Dive – a unique wine-focused concept combining chef-driven comfort food with wines from around the world. The first Wine Dive opened in 2006 and quickly became one of the most highly-acclaimed establishments in Houston. Jerry then opened a MAX’s Wine Dive in Austin in 2009, San Antonio in 2010, Dallas in 2012, Fort Worth in 2013, a second location in Houston in 2014, and most recently a Denver outpost in early 2015. In 2013, Nation’s Restaurant News recognized MAX’s Wine Dive as one of the 50 “Breakout Brands” as well as one of the 5 “Hot Concepts” in the United States. In 2015 Jerry opened his first Flow Juice Bar outside of Texas (in Denver) as well as second Houston location in Uptown Park near highly-acclaimed Añejo, an elevated Tex-Mex concept featuring an extensive tequila and mescal list alongside wines from around the world. While each of the successful concepts have garnered numerous local and national awards and accolades over the years, Lasco Enterprises as a whole has been recognized as one of Houston’s top businesses. The Houston Business Journal recognized Lasco Enterprises as the 13th fastest growing private company in Houston in 2009 and awarded the company the prestigious “Enterprise Champion” award in both 2009 and 2012, given to five fast-growing companies. These Enterprise Champions are set apart from the “Fast 100” not only in growth and industry leadership, but in contributions to employees, the community and to their respective industries. Lasco Enterprises also made the “Fast 100” list in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and has been recognized numerous times as “One of the Best Places to Work” in Texas. In 2014, Jerry was named Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year for the Gulf Coast States. Prior to pursuing his passion for the food and wine business, Jerry spent 13 years as a pilot, first with the United States Air Force where he received commendation as the Air Force’s outstanding Life Support Officer and was awarded one of the Air Force’s top honors, the “Chief of Staff” trophy. He later flew for Continental Airlines, during which time he and his wife Laura took the opportunity to travel to vineyards and wineries around the world to study and enjoy wine. Before relocating to Houston, Jerry lived in New York City where he attended Peter Kump’s Cooking School and pursued his sommelier certification with The Court of Master Sommeliers, based in London. He received his B.S. in Organization Behavior from the United States Air Force Academy. Jerry and his wife Laura settled in Houston in 2001 and are raising two boys, Max and Jack.
