Summer of Love at L’Espalier

L'Espalier Website

L’Espalier is painting the town pink for a special edition of their Wine Monday series on July 10th, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Summer of Love. So stick some flowers in your hair and head to Boylston Street to enjoy a five-course tasting menu from Chef Frank McClelland paired with pink wines from around the world. Love will be in the air with summery fare like dungeness crab with avocado roulade, and pineapple upside down cake with lemon verbena ice cream, and one of L’Espalier’s sommeliers will be on hand to answer your rosé-related questions. Reservations are required for dinner. To book yours, call 617.262.3023.
