Don’t miss your chance to try wines from one of the world’s most iconic estates, Bodega Vega Sicilia.

Bodega Vega Sicilia, one of the most mythical wineries in the world, was founded in 1864 in the Ribera del Duero region in Spain. Since then it has become an iconic estate cherished by critics and sought after collectors worldwide. Since 1982 it belongs to the Alvarez family, who has extended the portfolio to include other unique estates: Alion in Ribera del Duero, Pintia in Toro, Oremus in Tokaji (Hungary), and the most recent project – Macan, a joint venture with Benjamin de Rothschild in Rioja. Two Hungarian wines will be showcased at dinner, along with 3 different vintages from their Spanish properties including the iconic and terroir driven Valbuena.

The Bristol Restaurant & Bar makes Hump Day the best day of the week with their Burgers & Burgundy. Every Wednesday night, burger lovers can enjoy the object of their gastronomic desire paired with tastings of two Burgundian-style wines. It’s a tasty little opportunity to try something new as the paired wines, chosen by the in-house wine director, will be from bottles that aren’t regularly available by the glass. Burgers & Burgundy costs $35 per person not including tax or gratuity – the burger itself is on the menu (augmented, as it is, with Vermont cheddar, house-made pickles and truffle fries) for twenty bucks so it’s not a bad deal. Call The Bristol at 617.351.2053 for more information.

Bar Boulud Presents a Special Rose Wine Dinner in Celebration of Bastille Day

In honor of Bastille Day, Bar Boulud celebrates with a special four-course wine dinner, featuring traditional Provençal cuisine along with all things rosé from Château d’Esclans.

Located fifteen miles northwest of the Mediterranean coast, in the sun-drenched landscape of Provence, Château d’Esclans is renowned for their mature Grenache vines, which produce grapes that offer a greater concentration of flavor, creating the palate-grabbing collection of rosé, for which the château is known.

On July 14, 2018, join Sommelier David Bérubé and special guest Alex Diard, Wine Ambassador for Château d’Esclans, who will pour pink and educate guests on some of the “finest rosé you will ever find,” according to Jonathan Ray, Drinks Editor of The Spectactor.
