Dallas Wine Club 🍷🍷🍷 @55Seventy Wine Cel Dallas Wine Club 🍷🍷🍷 @55Seventy Wine Cellar & Tasting Room is a new members-only venue located in Park Cities. Named after the ideal temperature to store wine (55 degrees and the ideal humidity at 70%), this private wine club experience is like nothing else in Dallas. Take a look! The space features a beautiful champagne bar, a large private dining room, a tasting bar and lounge and a spacious patio. We got our food & wine nerd on with the sommelier Jeff Gregory and Executive Chef Josh Sutcliff. Membership starts at $3K a year, along with two higher tiers of membership to choose from, and comes with a load of perks: 🍷 featured wine by the glass at retail prices 🍷 happy hours, live music and art experiences 🍷 tastings with small-production wineries 🍷 BYOB with no corkage fee 🍷 tickets to wine dinners with chefs 🍷 full kitchen with creative, seasonal menus 🍷 discounted bottles 🍷 access to private wine lockers - with some of them as large as a walk-in closet! 🍷 access to exclusive highly-allocated wines (not what you see in typical stores!) 📍 6130 Berkshire Ln in Park Cities / Dallas *hosted #dallasfoodnerd #wine #dallas
A picturesque place to lunch 🖼️ Did you kno A picturesque place to lunch 🖼️ Did you know one of the prettiest places to eat in Fort Worth is inside @themodernfw Museum? @cafemodernfw’s lovely dining room sits right on a beautiful pond on the museum grounds & you can enjoy your meal with a tranquil view right on the water. If the weather’s nice, they also have a massive patio where you can enjoy the scenery. We enjoyed the Chinois Chicken Salad & the Dan Dan Noodles. The Sticky Ribs pack quite a punch—they are technically a shareable, but there’s enough for an entree if you don’t care to share. 😅 They also serve Sunday brunch & Friday dinner. An absolute can’t miss if you’re out in Fort Worth! #fortworthrestaurants #fortworth #fortwortheats 📷: @amypyen
