    Tastemaker Awards

    8 best restaurants in Dallas to savor a glass of wine

    Get ready for the 2017 CultureMap Tastemaker Awards, our annual event honoring the best in local food and drink. We've elected nominees in all categories of food and beverage, from best chefs to the best restaurant in Dallas-Fort Worth.

    We'll toast them all at a party on April 20 from 7-10 pm at Sixty Five Hundred, with tastings and awards, emceed by Texas celebrity chef Tim Love. Tickets are on sale now.

    We've already profiled the candidates for Rising Star Chef, Best Neighborhood Restaurant, Best Bars, and Best Bartenders. This time, we take a look at the restaurants with the best wine programs in Dallas.

    Here are the nominees:

    Boulevardier
    With a sibling like Veritas Wine Room, it's no surprise that the wine list at this Oak Cliff restaurant would distinguish itself. To complement the Franco menu, the list runs heavy on French wines, with a dozen champagnes and sparklers and a judicious selection of French whites. There are a few high-dollar bottles of Bordeaux but also a selection of other French reds where you can get a good bottle at a nice price.

    Gemma
    For a charming little mom-and-pop bistro, Gemma has an extremely expansive wine list, with bottles from just about every wine region in the world, including some prized labels from Napa Valley. There's an especially large selection of customer-friendly half-bottles, plus more than a dozen French white burgundys, which has become the favorite pick of the wine hipster set. Wines from France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Spain, Greece, and Slovenia make the list, and Texas, too, including Duchman among the eight wines available on tap.

    Knife
    With its innovative menu featuring unusual cuts of meat, this restaurant at the Highland Dallas hotel is no ordinary steakhouse, and the wine list follows suit. The list has a geographical provenance — Northern Hemisphere only — which sommelier Sabrina Snodderley embraces as an opportunity to spur creativity and conversation with customers. Malbec has become one of the most popular wines, but it's from Argentina, which makes it a no-go; instead, she features French Cahors, the region where Malbec was born.

    Lark on the Park
    Being a Shannon Wynne restaurant, you know Lark has good beer. But this spot across from Klyde Warren Park has also carved out a niche for wine. For starters, every single bottle on the list can also be ordered by the glass, whether it's an Italian prosecco or an $80-a-bottle Sonoma Valley cabernet. It's also wisely on the rose-all-day theme, with at least five roses by the glass.

    Mercy Wine Bar
    Addison wine bar opened in 2003 as an early outpost for wine drinkers in North Dallas and beyond. It was originally notable as much for its singles scene as its wine list, but it's hard to top a selection that includes up to 125 options by the glass. That makes it easy for customers to sample wines they haven't tried, a journey that's aided and abetted by very generous prices at happy hour.

    Savor
    Downtown gastropub could possibly serve Boone's Farm and still win, thanks to its floor-to-ceiling views of Klyde Warren Park. But there's innovation in its wine program, specifically its adoption of a keg program with wines on tap. Only certain vineyards do casks, so you get wines you might not find elsewhere. And for high-rollers, Savor has a small list of reserve wines by the bottle, such as the Napa Valley Overture, where you can spend up to $300 to make that big splash.

    Sixty Vines
    Casual-chic restaurant from Frontburner Restaurants (Whiskey Cake, Mexican Sugar, Velvet Taco) with standout pizza has a unique and a hugely accessible wine program. The emphasis is on West Coast labels, including an in-house label made exclusively for the restaurant. There are 60 wines by the glass, as well as a big commitment to wines on tap, with at least 36 options. You can order any wine on tap in a range of amounts: 2.5-ounce, 5-ounce, 8-ounce, or a bottle-sized 750 ml pour, and flights, too.

    The Ranch at Las Colinas
    With steaks and chops on the menu, this Texas-styled restaurant from Frontburner Restaurants possesses the mega-assemblage of wines from around the world one might expect, with 242 bottles and lots of big reds. But what has probably put The Ranch on the map in the world of wine is its radical "retail plus" pricing structure, with wines sold not at the usual times-three restaurant markup but at about 15 percent more than what you'd pay at a liquor store. We are talking Caymus for $99. We are talking wow.

    Crepe News

    Sweet crepes are coming to Addison via Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café, the Houston-based crêpes chain, which is opening a location in Prestonwood Place, at 5290 Belt Line Rd. #110, with doors expected to open in early 2026.

    Sweet Paris was founded in Houston in 2012 by Ivan and Allison Chavez with a mission to revive the art of eating crepes. There's a location in Southlake, which opened in 2024, and another in McKinney, which just opened in June. (There's also a location coming soon to Dallas' Snider Plaza.)

    The menu offers 20 crepes in varieties savory and sweet including dulce de leche, lemon & sugar, s'mores, chicken enchilada, Philly cheesesteak, and a vegan option with portobello mushrooms, black bean purée, corn salsa, and chipotle sauce.

    While crepes are the signature, they also serve waffles, egg breakfasts, panini, and salads. A "croque madame" crepe has scrambled eggs, gruyère, smoked ham, & béchamel sauce, while an Alaskan has smoked salmon, pickled red onions, capers, and scrambled eggs, topped with dill sour cream, & scallions. Everything is $20 or less.

    They also serve beer and wine, mimosas, milkshakes, espresso drinks such as lattes, and hot chocolate.

    This new location marks the third of four units to be developed by franchisee duo Ludo and Yi Le Gall.

    “We fell in love with Sweet Paris the moment we discovered it,” Ludo says in a statement. “Bringing this unique experience to Texans has been a dream come true, and we’re thrilled to grow our presence throughout the state with a new location in Addison.”

    Situated within Restaurant Row at Belt Line & Montford, Prestonwood Place includes hot hot restaurants like Mendocino Farms, Flower Child, Loro, Postino, Original Pancake House, and more. All it was missing was crepes. Now that niche has been filled by Sweet Paris, with crêpes, coffee, and charm.

    Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café has been growing and now has 21 stores in operation in Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, Texas, and Mexico.
