What a new Mockingbird Station wine and liquor store says about Texas’ spirits business

Interior of the new Perrault Beverage store in Mockingbird Station. Perrault Beverage is a Plano-based, family owned boutique shop that sells domestic and imported wines, spirits and local beers.Fausto and Jaclyn Vallejo are textbook pandemic entrepreneurs, using the most disruptive global health crisis in a century as the impetus to become their own boss.

“We were hard at work for our employers during the pandemic. It was a very challenging time and very discouraging,” Fausto Vallejo said. “We decided we had to switch gears to what was always in the back of our heads as a longtime goal.” Since the general election in November, only four of the state’s 254 counties remain dry, said Chris Porter, TABC spokesman. “Not that long ago we still had 50 dry counties, but jurisdictions have been adding permission because it’s seen as an economic benefit for the community.”

Fausto, 38, and Jaclyn, 29, have more than 30 years of combined experience working for restaurant companies, including Phoenix-based Hillstone Restaurant Group and Dallas-based Vandelay Hospitality Group. Perrault Beverage wine director Christina Chilcoat, 37, grew up in Dallas and has 17 years in the business, including as regional beverage director at Royal Blue Grocery, now Berkley’s Market in Dallas.The Vallejos received a permit from the state in 2021 and started working on their store.

The climate controlled, glass encased wine cellar at the back of the new Perrault Beverage store in Dallas' Mockingbird Station.“We wanted to pay homage to her family with this European boutique concept,” said Vallejo, who came to the U.S. almost 20 years ago from Venezuela to attend college and stayed.

That there are more alcoholics? More drunk driving? More domestic abuse? What does it mean?
