Wine lovers will have to wait until Wednesdays to enjoy Aujourd’hui’s Epicurean Evenings – the popular weekly series returns from its winter break on a new night and armed with a whole new line-up of great tastings. Grab a seat in the bar at Aujourd’hui to sip selections from sommelier Brick Loomis’ extensive wine list. He usually pulls three bottles (often with a grape, region or winemaker in common) while chef William Kovel pairs them light bites from the kitchen. Epicurean Evenings have proven to be a great way to connect with fellow oenophiles – and at $50 per person, they’re a steal. Call 617.351.2037 to make reservations for an upcoming installment.
