Summer vacation season might be over, but you can still try some sips (and tastes) from around the world, without even packing your bags. On Friday, September 21st, Chopps American Bar and Grill is hosting a Global Tour of Wines that’ll give you some wanderlust & travel inspo for next year’s trips. The Burlington spot’s Wine Director, Bruno Marini, has drawn on his international knowledge of the grape and put together a selection of stand-out pours. It’ll be a special evening with vast amounts of vino tastings, a delicious menu and lots of learnings. Tickets are $85 each (plus a small processing fee) — snag your spot here.
