The friendly banter between chef and guest, the knowing nods from the line cooks in the most open kitchen in Dallas and the spot on friendly service makes this unusual restaurant inviting with a charge that beckons a repeat visit.

Bailey’s Prime Plus Hosts Scholium Project
by Melanie Ofenloch
There are winemakers that thrive upon tradition and honor the techniques that have been used through the ages to make wine that is consistent from year to year. There are winemakers that strive to challenge convention and turn the industry on its head by making wines differently. Then there is Abe Schoener.
A former Greek philosopher who fell in love with Napa while on a sabbatical, Abe served as an apprentice at Stag’s Leap Vineyard, was hired by Luna’s Vineyards and counts Cult Chardonnay maker John Kongsgaard as his mentor. Continue reading
