Let the shuckers at Island Creek Oyster Bar show you a thing or two about oysters and wine at their freshly launched education series. On the third Sunday of the month, a rotating roster of sommeliers and shellfish farmers will school you in the varied ways that geography and climate (on dry land and in the briny deep) impact the flavors of both wine (terroir) and oysters (merroir). The educational gatherings run from 2:00-3:00pm and cost $35 per person, which cover sampling of six oyster varieties and their wine pairings. Call 617.532.5300 to see who’s coming up on the schedule or to reserve your seat.
