    Dallas restaurant veteran uncorks boutique wine shop on Garland Road

    A Dallas food & beverage veteran with loads of wine savvy is opening a sweet new boutique. Called Terroir – A Place For Wine, it's a neighborhood boutique retail wine shop near Casa Linda Plaza in East Dallas, specializing in unique and uncommon labels.

    It's located at 9225 Garland Rd. #2120, on the ground floor of the Reserve at White Rock Apartments, in the space that was most recently White Rock Yoga.

    According to owner/founder Andrew Wilt, it'll open in mid-August.

    Wilt is a former president of the Greater Dallas Restaurant Association who's leveraging the decades of experience and relationships he amassed at chic restaurants such as Steel, Abacus, the Melrose, and Hotel Crescent Court.

    "I've always run restaurants and been in charge of wine programs, and felt like a wine shop would focus on the part I was passionate about," he says. "I'm hoping people will enjoy talking and learning about wine."

    It will be personal but not stuffy.

    "I want to feature the cool little appellations," he says. "I'll be skipping the mass produced wines and not focusing as much on high-end stuff. That will certainly be available, but it's my goal to do fun interesting wines that most people can approach, that are a little less expensive."

    Wilt is a native of the state of Washington, and that's one region whose wines he'll definitely sell.

    "I'm from Seattle, so I do lean towards the Pacific Northwest, and I'll also have wines from California and the major European regions," he says. "But also wines from places like Portugal and Greece that you won't find at a grocery store, and maybe serve as fun ways to discover new wines with names you might not know."

    He'll have a few craft beer options, in case residents from the nearby apartments want to pop in for a six-pack.

    "I live in the neighborhood," he says. "Once the area went wet a few years ago, you could see this pent-up demand. Places like Good Friend, and restaurants that can sell wine or alcohol are doing well."

    The shop is less than a mile from the Dallas Aboretum and White Rock Lake, for those afternoon picnic excursions. It's also in the same center as another wine-centric spot, Urban Vines Wine Bistro, but he says they'll be doing different things.

    "I won't be competing with Urban Vines — their license does allow them to sell retail, but they're the place you stop in for a glass of wine and some food," he says. "I can't sell you a glass."

    There'll be tastings and educational events as well, led by industry experts and winery folk. "I have a lot of friends in the industry I can invite to do some fun stuff," he says.

    The shop will have wine barrels and tasting tables made from wooden wine crates, plus a little interactive sensory area, with apothecary jars where you can smell the different aromas in woods and grapes, he says.

    "The idea is to create a relaxed space to chat about wine," he says.

    Dallas farm-to-table champion Profound Farms closes produce operation

    A Dallas farm-to-table champion is pulling the plug: Profound Microfarms, the small farm in Lucas that provided locally-grown produce to chefs and the general public for nearly a decade, is shutting down its growing operation and discontinuing deliveries. Their final delivery and pickup day will be May 23.

    According to cofounder Jeff Bednar, they were simply unable to keep the business afloat.

    "It's always been tough for small farmers, and it's only getting harder," Bednar says. "I'd hate to count how many farmers and ranchers we've known in the last 10 years that have gone out of business. Honestly, I know very few farmers that could make it with out having off-farm income from a spouse or other sources."

    Jeff and Lee Bednar first bought their 2.6-acre plot in Lucas in 2014, then spent three years learning hydroponic methods and building industry relationships. In May 2017, they began selling produce to Dallas-area chefs, helping to support DFW’s burgeoning farm-to-table restaurant scene, delivering to restaurants multiple times per week.

    In 2018, Profound Foods received a USDA grant to create a local "food hub" — a business that helps small farmers grow by offering a combination of production, distribution, and marketing services. At their peak, by the end of 2019, they were serving 130 restaurants.

    And then the pandemic arrived. They pivoted, expanding into retail sales in March 2020, offering weekly home delivery and pickup outpost options for home consumers.

    "Unfortunately, running a year-round food hub became tougher than we can sustain right now," he says. "It's disheartening we were not able to make it work after trying for 11 years. But we were able to raise our daughters the way we wanted to and we really had a great run. Profound impacted hundreds of Dallas chefs and thousands of families in our community and we'll continue to do that, just differently."

    Over the years, Profound grew from harvesting greens to aggregating and delivering for other producers, then into community gathering spaces, commercial kitchens, and hands-on education.

    "Profound has never been just a farm — it’s our commitment to connecting North Texans with local food, and that commitment will keep evolving even as the farm operations wind down," Bednar says.

    So while the growing part has gone away, Profound will continue hosting cooking classes and other foodie events. In the interim, they'll also be listing their plants, hydroponic supplies, and greenhouses for sale.

    Some of their stats:

    • Moved more than $4.5 million of truly local food into North Texas kitchens.
    • Sent 75 cents on every dollar to 185 farmers, ranchers, and producers in North Texas.
    • Delivered 34,000+ restaurant and home orders.
    • Donated over 90,000 lbs of fresh food to area charities and food banks.
    • Hosted dozens of interns and hundreds of volunteers for hands-on learning on our farm.
    • Helped over 22 companies launch food-based business in our incubator kitchen and hub.
    • Hosted tours for more than 15,000 people, schoolchildren, and aspiring farmers.
