Sit Down Dinner
Wine and Dine Mondays have become a favorite tradition at Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro. The two series, one in the spring and one in the autumn, give our clients an opportunity to interact in a relaxed enjoyable environment with owner Cecilia Rait and Tracy Burgis from M.S Walker while savoring four wines along with four courses specially prepared to complement the wines by Executive Chef Josh Lewin.
The night is convivial, informative and always fun. The dinner begins at 7 p.m. and space is limited. Four wines and four paired courses are $60 per person (not including tax and gratuity).
Please call (617) 723-7575 for reservations.
Our Spring 2012 series is out! Time to start making your plans . . .
The Languedoc/Roussillon region, stretching from the Rhone river to the Spanish border, is the biggest wine region in the world, responsible for almost a third of French production. Find out why this area is now considered one of the most exciting regions in Europe!
“God made Cabernet Sauvignon, whereas the devil made Pinot Noir." Find out why Burgundy's own "enfant terrible" is so sought-after, despite being such a capricious grape.
In football, "hang-time" has a very particular meaning. As it does in basketball! In wine-making, "hang time" is the length of time grapes are able to remain on the vine before being picked. Higher altitudes mean longer "hang-times," which assists in the accumulation of acids, sugars and flavors. For this night, we have selected four wines "with altitude" from very different parts of the world.
Along with Christianity, European vines were brought to Chile by Spanish conquistadors and missionaries during the 16th century. Even with all that history, it is only during the last twenty years that the international market has truly been interested in Chilean wines. During this dinner you will find out why Chile is now the fifth largest exporter in the world.
Look, swirl, smell, sip, guess and HAVE FUN!
