JR Richardson, president of Oak Cliff Cellars, held a reception Sunday to celebrate his third year of having his wines available in the Dallas area. The gathering was held at the Mary Tomas Gallery on Dragon Street in the Design District and was catered by Bridge Bistro owned by Kay Agnew.
Agnew, a good friend of Richardson, was on hand as well as a few area somms that enjoy the Oak Cliff Cellar wines such as Michael Flynn from the Mansion on Turtle Creek.
“As a resident of Oak Cliff we have Dallas as our primary market. The restaurant community has been really good to carry our wines, so we wanted to host this reception as a thank you to them. We appreciate how much they have supported us,” said Richardson.
The owners of the gallery, Mary and Alberto Tomas, are long-time friends of Richardson and are partners with the winery. Alberto also designed the labels.
The Oak Cliff wines are available at many top Dallas restaurants including Parigi, the Mansion, Bolsa and Veritas. You may also purchase the wines at Bolsa Mercado to take home.
