If you’re yearning for some wine learning, head to Forage in Cambridge on Tuesday, October 3rd for a little hands-on immersion at a wine dinner focusing on the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. This massive area that stretches from the coastal border of Spain to the coastline of Provence in southeastern France boasts some very impressive and original red and white wines, and wine guru Stan Hilbert has four fantastic selections for you to try. Take a peek at chef Eric Cooper’s four-course menu below, which includes courses like Confit Garlic Turkey Sausage Green Lentils with Pimenton De La Vera Breadcrumbs, Orange Zest paired with 2022 “Touche Pas Au Grisbi,” M Petit; and Arctic Char Mousseline with Asparagus Gribiche and Grain Salad paired with 2021 “Yo no puedo Mas” Mas D’Aglis.
Dinner costs $105 per person and you can grab a reservation here for indoors or outdoors, or order everything to go here for $160 (serves two people) and explore the Languedoc from the comfort of your own dining room. If you fall in love with any of the wines you taste at dinner you can take anything home by the bottle at retail prices. Give them a call at 617.576.5444 if you have any Qs, and stop by Hilbert’s new wine shop in Dedham for more Forage-esque wines for your home cellar.
