    Have a cup of ambition this week at Dolly Day parties happening in Dallas to celebrate the icon's 80th birthday. Also on the list, more tea and mahjong, an Alpine wine dinner, and an NYC cocktail bar pop-up.

    Monday, January 12

    Death & Co. x Catbird Pop-Up
    The Manhattan-based cocktail institution Death & Co. will visit Catbird inside Thompson Dallas to showcase the future of low-ABV and zero-proof libations. Visit to experience a menu of six Death & Co. cocktails ($17 each), including the no-ABV Faded Ember made with Lyre’s dark rum, non-alcoholic coffee liqueur, and mandarin Seedlip Grove, and low-ABV options like Casino Water made with Lyre’s agave blanco, St. George green chili vodka, clarified lime, peach, and toasted sunflower salt. The pop-up will run from 6-9 pm on Monday. On Tuesday, a discussion for industry professionals will start at 5 pm. (Tickets are $25 for non-industry professionals.)

    Friday, January 16

    Alto Adige Wine Dinner at Eataly
    Savor the flavors of Alpine and Mediterranean cultures from northern Italy during this four-course wine pairing dinner at Eataly. A visiting ambassador from the region will guide guests through dishes like red wine braised pork shank with Alpine cheese and speck polenta along with spinach and speck bread dumplings in cheese sauce, apple strudel, and more. The $125 ticket, plus tax and service fee, includes six wine tastings. Dinner begins at 6 pm.

    Saturday, January 17

    Dolly Day at Truck Yard
    Dolly Parton will turn 80 years young on January 19, and Truck Yard is ready to celebrate with a day-long Dolly party. Visit both Truck Yard locations (Dallas and The Colony) for Dolly-themed drinks, a Dolly impersonator, a Dolly and Jolene lookalike contest, plus pup costume contests, Dolly Parton covers, and more. Guests who bring a new or used children’s book get a Dolly Parton pin while supplies last. The party starts at 11 am and runs until midnight.

    Tiles & Teas: Mahjong Afternoon Tea at Hotel Crescent Court
    Mahjong parties keep trending, and now Hotel Crescent Court has added its own in partnership with The Mahjong Line featuring afternoon tea service in its Conservatory. The $125 ticket (plus tax and a service fee) includes a multi-course savory and sweet menu featuring gochujang shrimp salad, bamboo steam baskets with pork shao mai, ginger chicken jiaozi, and Peking duck bao buns, plus black sesame scones with clotted cream, moon cake, mochi ice cream, matcha lemon mousse, jasmine milk tea pudding with popping boba, and purple sweet potato tartlets. Ideal for seasoned players, the tea takes place Saturday and Sunday at 12 pm through February 1.

    Sunday, January 18

    Dolly Parton Brunch at Community Beer Company
    Visit the Dallas brewery for a day full of Dolly-themed fun to celebrate the country music icon’s 80th birthday. There’ll be Dolly-inspired cocktails and brunch dishes along with a costume contest for prizes. The brunch will run from 10:30 am-3 pm.

    Taste of the Tarmac takes place at Addison Airport on Thursday, April 2.

    A Farmers Branch smokehouse credited with bringing a fine dining approach to barbecue will mark four years in business this weekend with an all-day party and a big menu special. But before that, there's a Spanish wine dinner, a bourbon dinner, and a tasting event for a good cause - all on the same night, so choose wisely. End the week with a matcha pop-up on Easter Sunday. Speaking of Easter, here's our list of where to make brunch reservations in Dallas for the big day.

    Thursday, April 2

    Emilio Moro Wine Dinner at MoMo Italian Kitchen
    As part of the Lake Highlands restaurant’s on-going 40th anniversary celebration, MoMo Italian Kitchen’s first wine dinner of the year will feature Emilio Moro wines of Spain with guest speaker and Madrid native Juan Lopez.

    Taste on the Tarmac
    Taking place at the Addison Airport, this fundraiser tasting event benefiting Metrocrest Services Sack Summer Hunger program will feature bites from local high school culinary arts students. Guests will get to vote for their favorite during the sip-and-stroll format on the tarmac. The $75 ticket includes unlimited bites, one drink ticket, live entertainment, and complimentary valet. The event will run from 6-8 pm.

    Garrison Brothers Bourbon Pairing Dinner at Yardbird
    The upscale Southern fried chicken chain will host a four-course pairing dinner with neat pours of Garrison Brothers bourbons.
