It's perfectly understandable that you would attend tonight's event at Fresh simply for the skin care.
(That's what Fresh is, after all. Located right there on Newbury Street between Clarendon and Dartmouth, Fresh sells its own high-end fragrances, soaps, skin- and haircare products.)
It is, however, NOT perfectly understandable that you would attend tonight's event and skip the wine.
But what's wine doing in a skincare shop on Newbury Street, you ask.
Good question.
Here are two very good answers:
1. Tonight's event highlights Fresh's line called... wait for it... Citron de Vigne. The scent of the soaps, perfume, and lotions of Citron de Vigne is meant to evoke the Pinot Noir grape of the Champagne region of France which -- understandably -- so inspired Fresh's creative director.
2. You simply can't have a launch of Pinot Noir-inspired products without serving Pinot Noir. That's where Jo-Ann Ross comes in. She'll be the one pouring the wines (from Champagne, of course, and Burgundy) and sharing her love and passion for what makes Pinot Noir so intriguing.
In other words, it's an evening dedicated to Pinot Noir, both its essence and its flavor.
So go for the skin care. Stay for the wine.
Or vice versa.

DAILY TIDBIT:
Fresh aren't the only ones to put wine and perfume together. Tom Ford's Black Orchid fragrance from 2006 contains Cognac oil, playing off what's luxurious and exotic. Citron de Vigne is said to be more subtle, but that's for you to decide!
