Life is Too Short to Drink Bad Wine....

The hubs and I are big winos and big foodies (now if only I liked to run....then all of my problems would be solved).

However, we DON'T like the markup on wine in restaurants (I know they gotta make money, too, I just don't like paying their prices). I mean, a 50% (or more!) mark-up for a bottle of wine is crazy!!!

So, to satisfy our love of good food and wine, I bring you the BYOB restaurant!!!!

A few of our favorite BYOBs in Dallas are:

Gregory's Bistro (in downtown McKinney)

This is one of our absolute faves. Fab food and awesome owners! Gregory specializes in food and wine pairings. Not too shabby for a $5 corking fee. I also had my bridesmaid's luncheon there, too. Tell em that Matt and Amy sent ya. ;) They are so fabulous, you will need to make reservations.....

Cafe Amore (in West Plano and in Richardson)

I always get the Chicken con Penne- so good! Awesome rolls. We love to go here before the movies. They also have a room upstairs (in Plano) for larger parties.

Campisi's (in Richardson and Plano)

Campisi's is also BYOB. Our first date was at the Campisi's off Mockingbird, so this always has special meaning to us.

Burg-It

This is a new burger joint close to our house-- good burgers, cute patio....and you guessed it-- BYOB!!! :)

These are a few of our fave BYOB places. What's some of your fave BYOB restaurants?

Stay thirsty, my friends. Cheers!
