The cheese selection at L’Espalier is nationally recognized and respected, and once a month, Fromager Matthew Helvitz hosts guests for a casual evening of wine & cheese, a three-course dinner with pairings and a grand cheese tasting — all accompanied by musical entertainment, of course. On Tuesday, June 26th, the theme is summer picnic cheeses, and you’ll learn Helvitz’s latest picks for the outdoor season, starting at 7:00pm. To reserve a seat for $95 per person, call 617.262.3023.
