Enhance your wine knowledge at Aujourd’hui’s Epicurean Evenings where sommelier Brick Loomis welcomes wine lovers to sip selections from his extensive wine list – and chef William Kovel graciously pairs them with light bites from the kitchen. The popular Tuesday night get togethers, which start at 7:00pm in the bar at Aujourd’hui, feature three wines (usually with a grape, region or winemaker in common) paired with three light courses. 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.
