First Look: Mutts Canine Cantina

by Steven Doyle

Mutts Canine Cantina opened its gates last night to literally hundreds dogs stationed throughout Uptown Dallas. The restaurant/dog park was taken by storm as humans made their way to the commissary for beer and hotdogs, while their canine counterparts enjoyed the view and yapped with their fellow dog pals.

This was a perfectly happy scene as both man and beast enjoyed fellowship and food, along with two sprawling acres maintained by employees who watched over the evening with careful alarm. Continue reading →

Is Zinfandel A First-Class Varietal?

by Andrew Chalk

I first encountered Zinfandel as a student when I tasted Ridge Vineyards ‘California Coast Range’ Zinfandel for what was, for an impoverished graduate student, a king’s ransom of $6.99. It is no longer made, but that wine engaged me to hunt out Zinfandel: a fruity, forward, red wines that offered a (usually) lower-priced alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
