Casino Night Recap

What a night! Our recent Casino Night was full of fun, laughter, and great company. From the exciting games to the lively conversations, it was wonderful seeing so many familiar faces and new friends come together.


A big thank-you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a success—we couldn’t have done it without you! We love creating opportunities to connect outside of real estate, and this was truly a night to remember.

Sip & Savor: Wine Delights

Barons Creek Vineyards 2024 Albarino
A bright vibrant wine with swirling aromas of lemon and lime, pear, and a hint of white pepper. As you sip, citrus fruit flavors, green apple, and peach mingle on your tongue along with a bright, crisp finish. Savor the moment with grilled shrimp or a juicy steak topped with zesty chimichurri sauce. This is the wine you want for your backyard BBQ!
Texas South Wind Vineyard Black Rose Sweet Table Wine
Black Rose is bold, juicy, and best served with a short chill to highlight its smooth dark berry flavor. Enjoy it on its own, as the base for sangrias or spritzers, or paired with barbecue ribs, spicy sausage, dark chocolate, or berry desserts. With richness, sweetness, and depth, Black Rose adds warmth and character to any gathering—whether it’s dinner with friends or a quiet night in.

Maple Pecan Blondies

The perfect fall treat — chewy, buttery blondies with a rich maple flavor and crunchy pecans. Ideal for cozy evenings, potlucks, or as a sweet finish to your autumn gatherings.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (plus a few extra for topping)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth, then add in the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until incorporated, then stir in the chopped pecans. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle a few extra pecans on top for added crunch. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set. Allow the blondies to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.
