Eating and drinking events in Dallas-Fort Worth October 14-20
See all Food and Wine events
Two beer events, one Scotch event, couple of wine events -- great week for drinkin'.
The week's top picks:
Thursday
Not just any beer but beer from the well-respected Brooklyn Brewery, whose brewmaster, Garrett Oliver, author of The Brewmaster's Table, will host and pontificate. Smoked salmon on sourdough baguettes, ginger-soy chicken kabobs clam chowder, calamari, beef tenderloin, and Pumpkin Ale cheesecake paired with Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout? Uh huh.
Texas Wine Walk and Cheese Pairing
Swirll celebrates Texas Wine Month with a tasting of 12 Texas wines and Texas cheeses. RSVP requested.
Saturday
Parking lot party! At the Flying Saucer in Sundance Square with five beer tents, featuring rare special releases and a limited-edition cask-conditioned ale, including Brooklyn Chocolate Stout and a rare brew from Sierra Nevada, Edge of Darkness, offered in a very limited supply.
Monday
Five great single malts paired with food, on Sevy's patio, no less.
Tuesday
Castello di Volpaia Wine Dinner
Famous Tuscan winery plus Super Tuscans Balifico and Coltassala, with antipasti, Foie Gras on toast, veal osso bucco, scalloped potatoes, Florentine peas, and Tuscan desserts. Wines: Chianti Classico / Chianti Classico Reserve / Prelius Vermintino / Prelius Morello / Balifico / Coltassala / Vin Santo.
“Shin Soba” or “fresh soba,” made with flour from newly harvested buckwheat, is a rare treat, available only twice a year, and highly prized by the Japanese for its certain aroma and sweetness. You can order Shin Soba hot or cold from the menu after the demonstration.

hmmm that beer thing sounds pretty good, I wonder if it would be worthwhile to drive out to Ft. Worth two weekends in a row..
