Get the skinny on oxidative wines (like, what they are, for starters) at the next installment of Forage’s on-going weekly dinner series. On Tuesday, May 17th, General Manager and wine aficionado Stan Hilbert will be sharing his best-in-show picks of this unique variety made in a way that intentionally exposes the wine to oxygen (not to be confused with oxidized wines). Hilbert will explain everything and while he does, you’ll get to know these fabulous new-to-you wines alongside a four-course menu from chef Eric Cooper. The culinary spread (which you can see below) is available at the restaurant (indoors and out) and as take out, and it can accommodate omnivores and vegetarians. You can book a table online here for $95 per person or place your order for take-out online here for $150 for two people. Call Forage at 617.576.5444 with any questions.
