The Boston Wine Festival is well underway over at the Boston Harbor Hotel and, though we yearn for the wines and salivate over the menus, there's one tiny little catch.The winemaker dinners there are awful pricey.
Yes, the Festival goes on for three months and yes, somewhere in there we should be able to find a dinner that's a little more doable.
Still, if you're going to go that far, wouldn't it be nice to get a little more than you bargained for?
"A little more" is exactly what Ravenswood is offering as part of their winemaker dinner on Wednesday, January 20.
Except "a little more" is a major understatement.
Consider the agenda for the night:
- Show up a little bit early.
- Meet Joel Peterson, who's been making wine in Sonoma since 1976.
- Say, "I'm one of those people."
- Joel, who's been expecting you, will personally sign a 3-liter bottle of his Cab.
- Sit down for dinner. Savor four courses of Chef Bruce's legendary food, including duck breast, osso bucco, shredded prosciutto, lemon custard.....
- Sip an elaborate lineup of Ravenswood wines, from Chard to Zin to Syrah to Gewurz.
- Walk away, bellies full, with your jeroboam of Cab.
The fine print... This offer is open only to the first five people who respond to this email and reserve their seats.
To be clear on the process: Let us know you'd like to participate. We help you purchase your seat. Your name goes on Joel's list. You get a seat at the wine dinner. Plus that jeroboam of Cab.
Definitely a little more than you bargained for.
