EDITOR’S ITINERARY

in the world

Giving Thanks Despite its cliché status as a quintessential Dallas photo opp, the stained glass spiral at the chapel in Thanks-Giving Square—aptly named "Glory Window"—never ceases to amaze those who stumble upon it. Thus, in honor of the November holiday bearing the same name, we revisit the downtown park's history and legacy.

Thanks-Giving Square

Designed by Pritzker Prizewinning architect Philip Johnson, Thanks-Giving Square and the chapel that sits within it were conceptualized more than 40 years ago after the assassination of JFK. Designed to be a common gathering space that reflected notions of gratitude and giving thanks throughout history, its perennial message resonates deeply during the holiday season.

Echoing these notions of

gratitude and community, this issue highlights gift ideas and brands that are serving a greater cause (p. 16). Similarly, we chat with experts about something we are eternally grateful for—wine! (p. 14).

Ever mesmerized by that glorious spiral, we were compelled to seek out other installations and public artworks that unite and inspire (p. 17). Safe travels this holiday season! We hope to see you in 2018.

Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

It’s always “five o’clock somewhere” in DFW, and let’s be honest: during the holidays, we prefer our “cups of cheer” served either in a champagne flute or a highball glass.

With a well-established regional fan base that continues to grow through word-ofmouth, we suspect it’s just a matter of time before Fort-Worth based distillery Firestone & Robertson becomes a household name among craft spirit enthusiasts. Its signature TX Whiskey ($35), a favorite among high-end restaurants throughout the Metroplex. It received “Best American Craft Whiskey” honors at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2014, and it’s earned praise from locals and craft spirit enthusiasts not just for the smooth flavor but also for its decidedly Texan flair—custom tops made with recycled leather used for saddles and cowboy boots, which double as a hat tip to the distillery’s hometown of Fort Worth and its Western roots. Additionally, its newest spirit, TX Straight Bourbon, is as Texan as it gets, having been made from a yeast strain captured and cultivated from a pecan tree nut about an hour’s drive from Dallas.

By late November, the distillery will have just settled in to its new headquarters built on the fairways of a former golf club. They’ve christened it “Whiskey Ranch,” and it’ll be the biggest distillery west of the Mississippi. www.frdistilling.com, 817.840.9140.

Hailed as the first shopping center development in the United States, Highland Park Village is foremost a sartorial shopper’s paradise. It’s also one of the best places to visit this time of year. As the trees and buildings become aglow with millions of twinkling white lights, horse-drawn carriages arrive to take passengers on a cozy stroll through the neighborhood’s astounding display of Christmas lights. Hot chocolate, champagne, Christmas carols (and extra blankets) keep patrons warm through the evening. It might seem like the back story of a Norman Rockwell painting, it’s undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated Dallas traditions of the season. swww.hpvillage.com, www.threejayscarriages.com.

Grape Expectations

Texas’ wine industry isn’t what it was 10 years ago. Still skeptcal?

Two of DFW’s most renowned restaurants can prove it.

WHERE NOW Dallas-Fort Aside from countless James Beard Award nods and noteworthy beverage programs comprising 250-300 varietals, one commonality between Flora Street Café and LAW at the Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas at Las Colinas is a passion for Texas wine.

FROM TOP: ©KOI IMAGES AND EVENTS; ©JAIMIE SIEGLE; ©JAMES WILSON. FACING PAGE: ©JAMES WILSON

Wines at LAW

In 1982, James Beard Awardwinning chef Stephan Pyles, then a budding chef late 20s, opened his first restaurant with his friend and managing partner, George Majdalani. They called it Routh Street Cafe, and it was the only restaurant in Dallas at the time with an all-American wine list.

“We distinguished the wines as either ‘imported’ or ‘domestic,” Majdalani said, with the latter referring to anything produced in Texas and the former covering anything else.

Thirty-five years later, as he looks back on those early years from the private dining room of their latest culinary endeavor, the award-winning Flora Street Cafe, it appears that history does indeed repeat itself. The concept of Pyles’ Flora Street Cafe is an homage to the arts.

So while it is this whole package that’s assisted in Flora Street’s accumulation of local and nationwide accolades, the artistic display of culinary talent is only enhanced with an equally thoughtful beverage program.

Earlier this year, Flora Street earned a spot on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Wine Lists, solidifying its place as a progressive contender in a cutthroat industry and increasingly competitive market.

“The depth is not in the vintage, but in the varietals,” Majdalani said of the wine list, a well-rounded selections from regions all over the world.

Flora Street sommelier Vin-

cent McGrath added that the uniqueness of the wines give the list a well-rounded edge among other top-tier dining establishments.

“We have wine from [the country of] Georgia, which is where wine actually originated,” he said, “as well as varietals from

Texas wines at Flora Street Café

Austria, Slovenia and other areas you may not typically see.”

There’s also a substantial number of Texas vineyards on the list, offering slight validation into the progress the state’s $2 billion wine industry has made over the last 10-20 years.

Further evidence can be found a half an hour away at the Four Seasons, where James Tidwell, master sommelier and

the resort’s beverage manager, is a walking encyclopedia on the Texas wine industry. At the Four Seasons’ restaurant LAW, which focuses on Texas-sourced ingredients, Tidwell’s wine list begins with a full page of Texasgrown recommendations.

Tidwell is also a founder of TEXSOM, the largest sommelier conference in the world that’s hosted annually at the resort.

In other words, he’s kind of a big deal in the wine world. His advice to someone who may not recognize a certain varietal or may have had a sub-par experience with a Texas wine previously? “Try them again,” Tidwell said, who’s still realistic about statewide industry standards. “Yes, some wineries areprobably are underfunded or less exposed to international standards, so they may be less consistent in their winemaking.”

Nevertheless, this could be said of inexperienced or underfunded wineries anywhere—France and California included.

Most importantly, though, growers in Texas vineyards are working with the varietals that prefer a warmer or harsher climate, as opposed to working against the forces of nature.

“Rather than trying to grow grapes you think people want,” Tidwell said, “the idea is if you grow the grapes that work best in certain places—and you’re passionate—you’ll create an entirely new market to bring greater exposure to the industry.”

Worth

Bottled Up This season, uncork the taste of the holidays with wines made with Texas-grown grapes—or better yet, bring home a bottle of these sommelier-approved selections as a gift or souvenir to save for a special occasion.

HAAK VINEYARDS & WINERY Jacquez, TX DRINK THIS: Madeira, TIDWELL SAYS: “ HAAK is one of the alltime greats in Texas. They’re known for a wine made from the grape blanc du bois... and they do a Madeira that is just phenomenal.”

Following exhibitions in Seattle and Los Angeles, “All the Eternal Love I Have for Pumpkins” is now part of the DMA’s permanent collection, and on view through the holidays. Often characterized by glowing sculptures covered in Kusama’s signature black spots, the installation gives visitors an intimate peek into the contemporary artist’s infinite wonderland.

At Jo’s Coffee in Austin, Texas, an exterior wall tattooed with the phrase “I love you so much” in red spray paint has served as a quintessential photo backdrop for Austin locals and tourists alike. Dallas’ Urban Taco, however, has playfully referenced the Jo’s wall in a revised version that, to be honest, is as accurate as the original statement.

A more recent fixture of downtown Dallas, the giant eyeball that maintains a fixed gaze at the entrance of the Joule Hotel is Tony Tasset’s “Eye,” and is said to have been modeled after his own blue eye.

Tucked into a courtyard next to Forty Five Ten, the sculpture and the green space around it is often used for private events, yoga classes and photo shoots.

[WHERE INSIDE]

My Dallas-Fort Worth

[Ar tist/Jewelr y Designer] In the early 1980s, David Yurman was far from becoming a household name.

David Yurman (the man) and his wife, Sybil, were young artists living in New York City, and he had yet to make the foray into fine jewelry.

Decades later, Yurman’s eponymous label— now synonymous with its timeless cable design seen throughout collections of cuff bracelets, pendants and earrings—has continued to defy seasonal trends. This year, however, Yurman has returned to his roots: in the latest Pure Form collection, a sense of modernity and a raw, sculptural aesthetic pay tribute to Yurman’s artistic foundation.

During a recent visit to Neiman Marcus at the new Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth, editor Jaimie Siegle sat down with Yurman to talk about what inspires the jewelry designer today and how the brand has evolved over the years.

—Jaimie Siegle

What inspired the new Pure Form Bronze collection?

I’m not a jeweler. I’m a sculptor by trade,

56 W H E R E D A L L A S - F O R T W O R T H I N O V E M B E R / D E C E M B E R 2017

and was working as an artist for years before I decided to start doing jewelry.

[My wife] Sybil and I were living in New York City in the 1970s with the hippies and the Beatnik generation, where we met while working in an artist's studio.

Pure Form is representative of welding and the sculpture medium, especially with the bronze. It's based upon one of the first designs I made for Sybil.

Do you design with your target customer in mind?

I sort of design with them in mind … what we make has a relaxed sense of luxury, but we design our brand for all kinds of people.

So creativity must run in the family.

What’s the best part of your job today?

Like painting, sculpture or dance, it’s art—a form of human expression, in a way. I've always had a nutsy passion for art, and Sybil had the same passion, but for painting. She’s always been our “secret sauce,” particularly with collections like the Supernova, and when it comes to color. She'd never had a title previously though; now she's the chief brand officer.

COURTESY DAVID YURMAN

David Yurman

You seem to travel to Texas somewhat often. When did you first visit Dallas?

I love Dallas—it’s where I got my first chance. I remember the moment of taking my jewelry to buyers in Dallas at Neiman Marcus, and to [Houston jeweler] Bubba Becker. Eventually I started filling big orders with Neiman’s in the early ‘80s. (The iconic cable design debuted in 1983.) The early pieces were wellreceived, I think, because they were not fussy and appropriate for daytime wear.

THE COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA Rooted in the history of motor sports and watchmaking, the legendary chronograph that was born to race.

It doesn’t just tell time. It tells history.
