While exploring the Oak Cliff/Bishop Arts district, we saw a TINY Italian place on the corner…read morecalled Abruzzo's. I tried to bookmark it on Yelp, but couldn't find it. Come to find out - this place is actually the "Bishop Arts Winery," and only opened up a restaurant a couple months ago! We arrived at 7, and we were the only guests there for an hour as the musician set up to play. By the time 8:15 rolled around, the music was in full swing and the 7-10 tables were all occupied by old couples, groups of friends, and even a family with 3 young kids! Although the space itself is small, it wasn't claustrophobic at all - it was homey and nice. Not too loud either. The ambience was very romantic; I loved the interior decorations that made it feel like little Italy and home all at the same time. Now for food - they bring out hot, Parmesan dusted bread as you order and wait for your food...mmmmm. We got the BAW Cabernet Sauvignon by the bottle (24.99) and she let us know that it would be $8 per glass, so it's a bit cheaper to go for the bottle. We had heard good things about the cheese board, so we got a small. Perfect appetizer: at least 6 different tastes of cheeses, salami, different spreads and jams and crackers. Loved it, perfect for 2 people. Our waitress also inspired us to get this fried artichoke/crab meat ball...sounds weird but it was SO GOOD!!!!! Show stealer for sure. I got the classic spaghetti marinara, and Trip got the Bolognese lasagna. Both were impeccable, we are every bite - and the portions were generous but not excessive! Our service was awesome - it felt like they had at least 3 people circulating the small room to make sure everyone was taken care of. Wonderful experience and can't wait to go back!!!

We had the pleasure and honor of attending a Valentine's 7-course dinner with wine pairings at…read moreRoots and Water Wine Room hosted by Sommeliers AJ & Heather and Chefs Mollie and Adrien, and my, were we blown away! Our evening started with a cocktail hour, during which we got to meet other guests over a glass of Roots & Water cabernet. We loved the cab - light and elegant. Once we were seated, we started with a glass of champagne with east coast oysters. For each course, one of the chefs came out to explain the dish and the inspiration behind it. Chef Adrien explained to us that he and Mollie had curated a menu of aphrodisiacs for Valentine's, and the oyster was prepared in a way that brought out ocean feels. We definitely tasted, felt the ocean waves with the soft red beet foam atop the oyster! Our favorite course of the menu was the soup/pasta dish - fideo noodles with tomato saffron brodo, generous pieces of lobster, and crispy leeks. I'm usually not a fan of tomato-based sauces, but this soup was SO delicious! Not too salty, not too powerful in taste, just right. The noodles were done al dente, with a slightly firm texture in every bite. And the lobster pieces were so soft! We devoured every bite of the entire meal, but we ultimately agreed this course stood out the most! The main was definitely a hit, too! It was braised Texas wagyu with root veg puree, herb emulsion, mushroom, and lots of truffle! We loved the strong flavors of the wagyu paired with the puree - so soft, so fluffy, subtle in taste. And the red that went with it *chef's kiss* We were also impressed with the potato dish - ambrosia fingerling potato with duck fat, burnt crema on top with caviar, ikura, trout roe. Who woulda thought caviar and roe go well with potato! And the crema to balance out all the flavors. We liked how the potato was sliced into perfectly thin pieces for each bite. For the dessert, the panna cotta was paired with a white wine, which we appreciated, as we're not big fans of port/dessert wines. We liked the balance in flavors with the sweet-citrusy taste of the panna cotta and the refreshing white. All in all, I could feel every ounce of attention and love poured into every dish, and we were very, very happy campers by the end of our dinner experience. Thank you to Roots & Water for hosting, as well as the chefs and sommeliers for curating an all-around beautiful experience. We hope to be back soon for some wine tastings!

The bus group was a cool one too. After the 1st winery we were all happy and singing lol. The tour is around $150 per person and it includes 2 wineries (4 different wine tasting on each), a 3 full course meal at a steak house with 3 wine tasting at the restaurant and the bus trip to all the places. You get picked up at the embassy hotel at 5:30 and by 10:30 they are bringing you back. The restaurant was a disappointment. Last time the tour took us to a nice steak house. This time the place was a glorified TX Road house/sport bar and that is why I won't give them the 5 stars. But everything else was great and I will definitely do this tour again.

WOW is the only word to describe this little nook. I was welcomed by Sarah, who is a total ROCKSTAR! She is extremely knowledgeable about the vineyard, the grapes, the similarities the grapes have with other wine regions throughout the globe, and she is just as cordial and sweet (and patient) as can be. TY SARAH! I ordered a glass and sat down next to a very sweet couple. They had just joined the wine club and I ended up doing the same. Here is their "secret sauce"...THEY DO NOT CHARGE A MEMBERSHIP FEE!!! What?!? Hello Napa/Sonoma...take note of this practice and implement to further your followers/customers. Instead - you take home 4 lovely bottles and get 4 each season. You can pick the pack up at the tasting room, or at the vineyard. They also serve bites and Bellatrino at the market will deliver a hot, fresh Italian (thin) pizza right to you in the tasting room. A young man from Bellatrino came in with samples of the Quattro Fromage pizza - holy cow! Delish! (They also offer a cauliflower crust for the gluten-free peeps). Support these 2 local gems...you will not regret it.

Not like other local venues that have potty mouth, bad word college humor-this was fantastic! 3 comics-very fun! Menu Variety of wines-seasonal and changes per year, cheese and meat plates, chocolates, lava cake. We had a glass of wine each and the lava cake that came with a generous scoop of ice cream.

4.1 This tasting room is a lovely addition to the spot where…read moreold Hattie's used to be, and it's great to see the space brought back to life so well. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making it an easy place to settle in and actually enjoy the experience rather than feeling rushed through a tasting. We tried a wine tasting and were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed it. The Texas Tempranillo stood out with its depth and character, and the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was a clear favorite--bold, smooth, and well-balanced. I've also heard that Barons Creek hosts themed events, which adds another layer of appeal. The idea of pairing their wines with a fun or seasonal theme sounds like a great way to experience the tasting room. Beyond a standard visit, and I'm definitely looking forward to attending one of those events in the future. Take home message: Overall, this is a great spot for both casual wine drinkers and enthusiasts. Between the inviting location, quality wines, and engaging events, it's a place worth returning to.

I visited Waters Edge with my family this past weekend before we went to a movie at the Drafthouse…read more(just across the parking lot), and we had a good time! Waters Edge is a winery and a bistro - so you can come for drinks or a meal or both. We were told that they make all of the wines on their menu, of which there are dozens of wines on their menu. I've been to a few urban wineries before, and it's an interesting concept. Waters Edge buys grape must (crushed grapes) from around the world and then craft and bottle wines made from that must at their locations (this Dallas location is one of 15 across the country). Wanting to try a few of their wines, the four of us shared two flights of five wines each. We tried the Tour of Armenia and Alec's Flight (a rotating selection of wines by their winemaker). Did I like every wine? No. But I thought most of them were pretty good. Personally, I'm not sure they need to make this many wines; I'll always prefer a business that does ten things well than fifty things fine (the Cheesecake Factory rule). But most of the wines were pretty nice (of the 10 I tried, I wouldn't drink 3 or 4 but wouldn't mind drinking the rest again). I appreciated that many of their wines are Armenian style, because I haven't had much opportunity to try Armenian wines. We also ordered a few snacks - they have a full food menu. We shared their Deviled Egg of the Month (2 eggs - 4 halves) and their Cheese is Life Board (two cheeses, hot honey, giardiniera, and crispy flatbread), which were both good snacks. They've been open just under a year, but the place doesn't feel quite lived in yet. The dining room has a large room divider in it, set up like a bookshelf. It has books and card/trivia games about wine and more. But many of these items were still wrapped in plastic, making it feel a little impersonal. The service was good, and it's a comfortable place to spend a couple of hours! The food we had was pretty good. The wines in my opinion are just okay - probably not the spot to take a wine snob on a date. But they have a large variety of wines, so you're likely to find one or many that you like. Not a bad place to spend some time if you're in the neighborhood!
