Blind Bishop

The service cannot be recommended more! It is run by knowledge, approachable, and compassionate staff who truly want to enhance your experience, not only with their incredible wine, but also with their tasting menu! Highly recommend!

Amazing wine selection, very knowledgeable staff, they helped us with pairings for dinner. Had the Chilean Sea Bass, it was so good we had to ask for the recipe, and they gave it to us! Which I thought spoke very positively to their level of service.

I had a wonderful experience at Blind Bishop (Dallas Wine Education Center). I took the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines Course and Examination and learned so much about grape varieties from all over the world, wine making, tasting, pairing, storage and service. The course was very well-organized, engaging and informative. The tasting samples were carefully selected. The instructor, Dilek Caner, was amazing. She is a Master of Wine, a title held by only 54 people in the U.S. and 417 people around the world. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the wine industry and shared many insights and tips with us. She was also very patient, supportive and approachable. She made the learning process fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend the Blind Bishop to anyone who wants to learn more about wine or pursue a wine certification. Thank you, Dilek, for being such a great teacher and mentor!

I am so excited to have the Blind Bishop in my neighborhood! If you love the entire wine culture and experience as much as I do, you will love this tasting room. Better than any place I have visited in Napa and other wine regions, host Dilek Caner is a Master of Wine - one of only 35 in the US. We let her put together wines to pair with our four course meal, and what a great decision that was! She brought out wines that enhanced the delicate attributes of the food, and it was an evening I won't forget. You get the opportunity to taste wines by the glass that you might not get the opportunity to try anywhere else. We were pleasantly surprised that the food was as spectacular as the wines, and that says a lot. Dilek is a wine educator, and you can study for the WSET exams with her as well, or just expand your knowledge of wine. This tasting room would be the crowning jewel in any foodie city or destination, but lucky for us The Blind Bishop calls Dallas home.

It's not every day you get to be a part of a wine experience led by a Master of Wine (MW), and being able to chat with them about it is just the cherry on top! Dilek's passion for wine and education is immediately evident as soon as you walk in. The wine selection is filled with affordable wines that exceed their price point. She takes pride in discovering these wines and sharing them. Each wine has its own identity, reflecting a true sense of place and varietal expression, and she can tell you the story for each. This place is a great find for wine lovers and a must-visit if you're in the Dallas area.

Blind Bishop is an outstanding place to enjoy and learn about wine! Dilek is an incredible teacher and a joy to spend time with. My wife and I went through our WSET certifications here and have continued to come back every time we are in Dallas. Highly recommend for everyone interested in wine from beginner to expert.

Incredible menu and wine pairings. Dilek is a wine expert and has a wonderful thing going with Blind Bishop!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The wines were out of this world, and carefully explained by the waitstaff. The food was fresh, very unique, and perfectly prepared. The proprietor and the waiters took time to warmly explain to us details of the menu and engage with us personally. It felt like being in someone’s home.

This is an excellent wine school and tasting room. It provides a modern decor with an eclectic range of sound spicing. You will experience classic jazz to pop sounds while enjoying your wine experience. You will have primarily Euro-food selections from mostly Italy, France, and Mediterranean regions. The menu is well planned with the wine features to match the wine's tannins, acidity, and ABV. You will receive the highest academic and food pairing training here. They have a high integrity and sophistication. You'll be taught by a Ph.D. and a Master of Wines. They offer all levels of WSET. Their approach to teaching is encouraging and supportive for both the novice and experienced wine enthusiast. I do recommend in person WSET training here. Their selection of wines are predominantly vinifera grape species with an emphasis on Old World wine styles. However, they do offer a comparison with New World grapes with a focus on California, Oregon, and Washington wines and vineyards. Lastly, the special lectures on local Texas wineries and wine critics are also helpful and impressive; integrating an unique group of professionals; giving a complete perspective on the diversity of wines across the US. I have recommended this business to many. Donald S. Chandler, Jr., Ph.D. Chandler Plaza, LLc Certified Texas Wine Specialist

Charming little wine bar newly open right outside of the main Bishop Arts scene. They offer a delightful little tapas menu and a few wine flights, including a blind flight that is perfect for budding sommeliers who want to test their palates. We tried a few bites - the patatas bravas, which are thinly fried potato chunks lightly dusted with paprika and topped with garlic aioli. It sounds simple, but was ridiculously addictive, and we found ourselves ordering another serving that night! We also tried the steak, which was perfectly cooked to our desired temperature (medium rare), but was otherwise pretty simply prepared, served atop steak sauce. And we also tried the burrata which came as two small pieces of toasted bread, juicy burrata and charred broccoli (also a simple but satisfying dish). All of the dishes are pretty small, so you would probably need to order at least a handful for a couple to feel pretty satiated, but that makes it fun to try more wine at the same time ;) We were curious about the pork belly, which the owner proclaimed to another guest that night to be "her favorite item on the menu." We can't wait to try that on our return visit (with another order or two of the patatas bravas, and maybe the tostadas too!). Definite recommend for a cute date night off the beaten path!

This was quite the find - a true gem! I was looking for someplace different to take my girl out for dinner. We both love wine and sharing small plates / tapas, and this place had both. There wasn't much about it online - website was minimal and there was only 1 review here. This is a wine bar first, and a restaurant second. It's a small place - about 20 small tables and most are together to create some 4 tops. It has a minimalist design inside as well - very clean and modern. It's not showy or stuffy. This feels more like a professional wine tasting work environment than a comfy restaurant, but we loved it and truly when you go you will see some serious wine aficionados / snobs tasting and taking notes and studying. The staff are amazing - super friendly and helpful if you want it but will leave you alone if you need that instead. We are not wine snobs but sure like to drink it. I was curious about the dinner they offer only on weekends. First, all wines are offered in a 3 or 5 ounce pour. This includes tastings or a glass of wine. 3 or 5 ounces are your only option. This was different and we thought we wouldn't be getting much but we were very wrong! We each did a tasting- 3 wines, 5 ounce pours. They had to substitute one they were out of and gave me a new extra one to try. My girl also got an extra white to try. They are so friendly and helpful they really want you to enjoy it here. The food was excellent. Not overly spicy or heavy - excellent with wine for sure. The burrata is 2 pieces of toast each with a dollop of cheese with some oil and herbs. The patatas braves are baked/fried potato bites with oils too. Both excellent and perfect to share. Charcuterie plate was excellent to - a fine mix of cheeses and meats. We did get the pork belly and yes, it is amazing and you need to get it. I dodnt want to at first but decided to risk it and it was the best I'd ever had! Crispy and sweet and smooth. Mind you it was only 3 pieces but perfect for a light meal and perfect with wines. This place is very expensive. And there were not many people here on a Saturday night. But I have to say we had an amazing time tasting all our wines and comparing notes and enjoying the food. There is soft music playing in the background. It made for a nice change of pace - a place to go out to eat where you could actually hear each other speak! Including tip it came to around $200.

Overpriced food/wine and this place tries far too hard to be something that it isn't. Plenty of real wine intense restaurants, avoid this fake one.

An amazing hidden gem in bishop arts. Blind bishop has fantastic wine as Dilek Caner, master of wine, takes you on a delicious journey that perfectly match your palate . The food is also delicious, highly recommend the burrata and the pork belly. To finish it off, the fall tiramisu is some of the best I've ever had. This place is definitely worth it.
