Burgundy Swine Wine Bar Launches New Event Series

Burgundy Swine, a local wine bar in Victory Park, is excited to team up with local chefs and restaurants for a wide variety of food and wine events. The kick-off event is this Saturday, May 1st with Terry Black’s BBQ for a casual lunch. Followed by a five-course dinner, with wine pairings, by Chef Jon Stevens of Stock & Barrel on Monday, May 10th. With the combination of great food, wine and live music, we’re looking forward to swining and dining all summer long.

“We opened just before the pandemic so we’re really looking forward to hosting events and introducing ourselves to Dallas. We know firsthand how much the hospitality industry has struggled this past year, so it was a no brainer to support local chefs and businesses for our first events of the summer”, says one half of Burgundy Swine’s owners, Alan Russell. “We’re thrilled to introduce great food, wine flights and even our new Wine Towers to the neighborhood and can’t wait to see everyone in person.”

Yoshi Shabu Shabu Will Enchant Your Heart (And Belly)

Shabu-shabu was introduced in Japan in the 20th century with the opening of the restaurant “Suehiro” in Osaka, where the name was invented. Its origins are traced back to the Chinese hot pot known as instant-boiled mutton.
