• Dallas is one of the most romantic cites for dining out in the country, though not quite as romantic as San Antonio, Austin or Houston. That’s the result of a survey from OpenTable, the on-line restaurant service. Dallas is No. 11 on the list, while the other Texas cities were 1,2, and 10.
• Highland Park Cafeteria will celebrate President’s Day on Feb. 18 with $6 cherry pies. Also, children under 10 can eat free with the purchase of an adult meal.
• Wine of the week: Gruet Brut ($13) used to be famous as New Mexican wine, but even today, when it’s made with California grapes, it’s a solid entry level bubbly. Look for lots of tiny bubbles, some crisp green apple and a little something more than most bubbly at this price has. Widely available.
