City Winery Boston to Introduce Wine Dinner Series with Curated Menus and Wine Pairings

City Winery Boston is hosting an ongoing series of Wine Dinners, focused on cuisines from around the world paired with wines to match.  Each Wine Dinner features an off-menu chef-prepared multi-course meal, with a different paired wine per course, served in a private dining room.  This series is in addition to the wine and spirits educational programs on the menu at Boston's Urban Winery. 

 

“Every wine dinner is meant to give our guests a ‘taste' of an international region,” said City Winery Marketing Director Scott Feldman. “We want them to feel like they're Spain's Ebro Valley at the Rioja Wine Dinner, or at a cozy restaurant on a cobblestone street in Paris at our French Wine Dinner. Our goal is to give your taste buds a vacation they could have never imagined.”  

  

The Wine Dinner Series continues October 10th,  co-hosted by City Winery and Tolaini Wines.  The night will explore the terroir of Chianti Classico's southernmost commune: Castelnuovo Berardenga. Pier Luigi Tolaini was born in Castelnuovo Garfagnana (Lucca) in 1936. In 1956 he emigrated to Canada with a one way ticket and two big dreams in his suitcase: to make money in America and then return to his homeland and make a great wine. After 40 years he returned to Tuscany to find the ideal piece of property, and in 1998 he found it in Castelnuovo Berardenga.
