Natural wines are funky, fresh, and charmingly weird—and what better way to welcome Spring than with a little taste of the outdoors in your glass? Get to Sycamore in Newton on Monday, April 2nd, to join Zach Lieberman of Olmstead Wines and Sycamore’s wine director Olivia Vienneau for a discussion of their favorite natural wines. You’ll sip and chat accompanied by a five-course tasting menu designed by chefs Lydia Reichert and David Punch, learning the ins and outs of this wide and wonderful wine category. There will be two seatings for this limited event, one at 6:00pm and another at 8:30pm, and both are limited to 25 guests. Tickets are $125 per guest, including grub, grape-juice and gratuity. They’re only available by phone, and you’ll need your credit card handy; call 617.244.4445 to snag yours.
