In the September/October 2021 issue, my SAVOR featured three local dining hot spots.

For many years, Daniel and Tiffany Moon have frequently taken weekend trips to Napa Valley and it was there that they developed a great appreciation of the complexity, sophistication, and different flavor profiles of wine. In 2009 they launched their own signature Estate Reserve wines from Napa Valley as a private passion project and called it Three Moons Wine. Lucky for us, the couple recently decided to make their brand available for all to enjoy. Offerings include a 2020 Sauvignon Blanc, 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, or 2018 Proprietary Red Blend. Prices start at $42 a bottle and are shipped directly to you. ThreeMoonsWine.com

FireBird Fowl is serving up classic favorite foods with a Texas Twist. In addition to chicken and turkey menu options, you’ll enjoy ranch-to-table duck, emu, ostrich and Texas quail, to name a few. The cocktail menu will feature specialty beverages created from housemade infused spirits - even ice-creams on the dessert menu will be alcohol infused. At this Uptown high energy restaurant and bar, fowl play is encouraged. 2816 Fairmont St, Dallas, TX 75201, FireBirdFowl.com

Loro is an Asian smokehouse and bar concept from the minds of Chef Tyson Cole and Pitmaster Aaron Franklin, featuring grilled and smoked meats with Southeast Asian and Japanese-inspired sauces and sides. The communal indoor space and patio were designed to emulate old Texas dance halls. With Chef de Cuisine Mike Perez at the helm, Loro Dallas offers dishes exclusive to this location such as fish and chips, French onion brisket melt, and brisket coconut rice. 1812 N Haskell Ave., Dallas, TX 75204, (214) 833-4983.

Event coverage in this issue includes two amazing philanthropic endeavors:

Jolie Humphrey, chair of Mad Hatter’s Tea: Out of Africa Into the Garden, along with Kay Weeks, president of the Women’s Council of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden and honorary chair, Carole Ann Brown, celebrated the spring season and A Woman’s Garden with a sold-out crowd at the 33rd Annual Mad Hatter’s Tea among the glorious floral displays at the Dallas Arboretum.

Guests enjoyed a champagne reception in the Scott K. Ginsburg Family Plaza and paraded before the hat judges on the green carpet walkway, vying for the coveted hat prizes. Once the program began, prizes were awarded in various categories. A lovely, seated afternoon tea followed back out on the Plaza featuring a spring fashion promenade produced by Jan Strimple with fashions available at TOOTSIES.

Since 1986 the major goal of the Women’s Council has been the design, construction, funding and endowment of A Woman’s Garden, the only public garden in the United States conceived by women, funded by the efforts of women and dedicated to the spirit of women. The support of over 500 members of the Women’s Council makes possible the continued expansion and development of A Woman’s Garden.

It was an unforgettable evening at the annual ReuNight fundraiser benefiting Dallas-based family violence agency, The Family Place. The Nasher Sculpture Center Garden was the site of this exclusive soiree and a limited 150-guests mixed and mingled amidst exquisite art.

The outdoor affair kicked off with passed HALL wines and hors d’oeuvres catered by Wolfgang Puck Catering. The Dallas String Quartet serenaded guests as they meandered throughout the gardens and relaxed on the chic lounge furniture. ReuNight Co-chairs Kristen Sanger and Lisa Singleton mixed and mingled with guests, while Honorary Chairs Kristy and Patrick Sands and their family enjoyed the GeneIQ sponsored Step & Repeat designed by Bryan Long.

For dinner, guests were led into the elegant outdoor dining setting that included architectural and chic floral arrangements and place settings by Bryan Long of Grey Gardens Florist, complementing the modern art on display throughout the garden. Paige Flink, CEO of The Family Place, and the event Co-chairs greeted guests warmly before dinner. Wolfgang Puck Catering served the delicious meal for the evening. Each course was paired with superb wines from HALL Wines. During dessert a spirited live auction was held and the evening concluded with an energetic Raise the Paddle, enhanced with a matching gift by an anonymous donor.

Proceeds from the evening went to benefit The Family Place, the largest family violence service provider in Texas, with three emergency shelters providing 177 shelter beds each night, including the state’s only shelter for men and children, and three counseling centers.
