The Faces of WINE AND SPIRTS

MARGARET & DAVID JABOUR | TWIN LIQUORS

Margaret and David Jabour, siblings and third-generation co-owners of Twin Liquors, are passionate about the wine and spirits industry. They have grown their Austin-born-and-raised family business from one store in 1937 to now over 100 locations across the state. This year, they celebrate their business’ 85th anniversary and the hard work that went into making Twin Liquors what it is today.

In 1982, David and Margaret rebranded the family business as Twin Liquors in honor of their father, Theodore, who was an identical twin. They set a goal to elevate the liquor industry by introducing fine wines and premium spirits into the Texas market in refined, education-oriented retail stores. Margaret, originally poised to enter the fashion industry, brought the fine department store ambiance into the business. She and David, who worked in the banking industry for many years, were able to work synergistically to bring their shared vision to life. At the core of it all, the Jabours believe the importance of relationships and giving back to their communities—values they have instilled in their entire team—is what has made Twin Liquors a special Texas family-owned company for 85 years.

The Face of PERIODONTOLOGY

DR. GABRIELLA DÍAZ OAK HILLS PERIODONTICS

When it comes to the field of periodontology, teeth are always in style—at least that is the mantra Dr. Gabriella Díaz lives by. Dr. Díaz has a bachelor of science degree from The University of Texas at Austin along with a doctor of dental surgery degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Dentistry, where she continued her advanced training in periodontics.

As one’s personal style develops, so has the dental field. “Our field is continuously advancing as we turn our attention to minimally invasive surgical techniques and innovative digital technology, all while meeting the multifaceted needs of our patients.” Fueled by her holistic approach to oral care, Dr. Díaz never looks at two smiles the same. Recognizing the synergistic connections between periodontal disease and systemic health, each patient interaction extends beyond the oral cavity. “I strive to recognize and treat each patient to improve overall well-being.” As her professional style continues to evolve, so does the environment at Oak Hills Periodontics. Even in the face of an ever-changing dental field, we can all agree on one thing: teeth will never go out of style.
