Put on your beret and allez on over to Petit Robert Bistro in Needham for a Loire Valley Wine Dinner featuring Monmousseau wines. On Tuesday, June 13th, you can enjoy three classic French courses, with options like duck rillettes, Bavette steak, and, of course, cheese. Since 1886, Monmousseau has specialized in Loire varietals with a particular focus on sparkling wines, but the dinner covers all the wine-y bases highlighting a white with the first course, a red with entrees, and bubbles to accompany dessert. Tickets are $65 per person, plus tax and gratuity, and rolling reservations begin at 6:00pm. Reserve your table by calling 781.559.0532. Bon appétit!
