Beckmen Vineyards beckons—rather than pack up for the West Coast, you can sip the Rhone-style wines in Boston with a paired prix fixe at Bar Boulud. On Tuesday, March 7th, the biodynamic grapes will be served by the glass with a five-course menu from chef Michael Denk. The matching plates include grilled octopus and roasted porchetta and the full menu is available for $110 per person. Dinner goes from 7:00-10:00pm and tickets are available online here—call 617.535.8800 for more information.
