9 Reviews for Times Ten Cellars
I'll give it four stars for now; I didn't have any of their food. But if the food's good, I'd give it 5 for a wine bar. Very unpretentious, great patio, and decent prices. We paid $15 plus tax for a bottle of Rose (goes with summer nights, right?) and had very chillaxed evening on the patio. If it's too hot OR if you're in the mood for it, the inside is a bit upscale but definitely AC'd.
They've got a rather small selection of wines, but what they do have seems like good quality, and there's a speckle of Texas wines for local flavor and support.

Beautiful Decor & Great Location. They need to have more places like this in Plano, hahaha. ;).
I went with a substantial group of fellow music lovers & we all really enjoyed the laid back albeit sophisticated ambiance of this place.
The bar in the tasting room is very classy & the wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
They really promote their cabernet franc but I tend to stick with the pinot noir. They are both great selections though.
Additionally, the amuse bouche are quite tasty & filling especially for this type of place.
I need to come here more often it reminds you life doesn't have to be overly taxing.

Times Ten has a great atmosphere. The building is an old renovated post office which is comfortable and hip-looking while retaining the charm of the original structure. The patio is nice for sipping and relaxing.
I love the wine at Times Ten. The Libertine red blend, which is sadly all gone (mostly drunk by us here and at Cock and Bull probably), is probably my favorite wine. Also try the Syrah and Cab Franc. The Syrah has a cool leather/tobacco smell not often found. I have not tried the whites, but as summer is approaching I may move to those.
The only reason it gets 4 out of 5 is that the wine and snacks are both a little overpriced, in my opinion. However, I am willing to pay occasionally for the atmosphere and to support a local neighborhood winery.

This is my favorite place to take someone out for a wine tasting. I love the design and atmosphere here.. very urban cool yet comfortable without being pretentious. We've sat at the bar for the tastings and the owners are all very knowledgeable and friendly. We also like the patio... its just nice to relax with a glass when its nice outside. My favorites are the times ten cellars Cabernet Franc, then the Pinot Noir and then the Cab. They may be a little strong in summer but oooh sooo good when its chilly out. We've sampled one of the appetizers and we all noshed it away in a matter of seconds, so I can say it was good too.

This is my new must go to place when I'm in Dallas. You can tell they're very thoughtful about their wine, the food they have on hand and the atmosphere.
I've been for an afternoon girls get together and they just purchased a small building next door and converted it into a special occasion spot. I went for a rehearsal dinner happy hour.

The location appears to be an old bank or similar building that has been converted.
It's a pretty, comfortable, un-pretentious, semi-lounge type atmosphere.
I've been here three times.
The good: Semi-romantic, reasonably quiet, and an easy way to chat and sip some vino.
The bad: Service has sucked every time I have been there. The first time, however, started out well ... I believe we were seated by an owner who took pains into showing us the place including the wine vats.
But, after we sat down and had to depend on the wait staff, it was like a root canal trying to get another glass of wine.
Also, Ten Times serves private label wine ... so don't expect to see an extensive wine list of your favorite vineyards.
So, overall, if you're not in a hurray, aren't demanding as to your tastes in the red or white, it's not a bad way to top off an evening.

Great Place... Great Wine... and they remember you when you come back. Often busy on weekends... great patio. Ask them about their vineyard in the Davis Mountains.
Lots of great places to eat in walking distance

This fine wine bar is located in the heart of Lakewood...one of my favorite neighborhoods in Dallas. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant indoors and out. If you are outside, make sure to use your bug spray before you get there. They can't have the the candles that prevent the mosquitos because it alters the flavor of the wine...the interesting new fact I learned from this experience. The inside is full of rich, dark colors and perfect for conversation and wine.
There was a private party in the main room when we were there. It was catered by a mexican food restaurant and Times Ten served the beverages. It looked like great fun and a perfect place for a small party. The wine selection is not huge but they do offer several types of wines and wine flights. The true gem is the Sangria! It is some of the best Sangria I have had stateside. We also had the trio plate with hummus, pesto and a bruchetta tomato dip. It was pretty tasty. The service was so-so on the patio, but after the shift change, it got a little better. This is a great spot for after work, pre-dinner or after dinner.

San Francisco needs a wine bar like this. It's classy but still loungy... the atmopshere is perfect for an evening out either celebrating or just catching up with friends. And the space! Well, let's just say it's nice not to be elbow to elbow with fellow patrons.
