Get to know the grapes of Napa Valley (by way of the wine they become) at Bistro du Midi’s Chateau Montelena Wine Dinner on Wednesday, July 29th. Sommelier Todd Lipman will be teaming up with Vitnus Wines’ Jonathan Tagliani to pick and pour wines to accompany a five-course meal crafted by chef Robert Sisca (have a look at it below). Call 617.426.7878 to reserve a spot at the dinner, which starts at 6:00pm and costs $135 per person. Maybe you can get yourself a window seat with views of the Public Garden in all its lush summer glory.
