The team at Forage has your regularly scheduled dose of pre-pandemic-style dining – chef-owner Eric Cooper and co-owner/sommelier Stan Hilbert have mapped out this week’s wine dinner, highlighting a declassified Alsatian Grand Cru Pinot Noir. On Thursday, September 10th, they’ll be pairing a wine from Laurent Barth’s small-ish (4.5 hectares), organic and biodynamic vineyard with two five-course menus (one for meat-eaters and one for vegetarians), which you can enjoy at home or on their lovely new patio. Make the most of the warm weather before it disappears and book your table here or place your order for pick-up online here and enjoy the whole spread at home. The dinner costs $120 per couple if you choose take-out or $170 for on-site dining. Peruse the menus below and call 617.576.5444 if you’ve got questions.
