As you know, one of our favorite things to do is to partner with local businesses and develop unique food and wine experiences. We couldn’t say no to Chef Jim Solomon when he called to ask if we would partner with him on a Stag’s Leap wine dinner he’s holding next Tuesday night, February 28th. Especially when he filled us in on the back story of these wines.
For many years, Jim has been receiving special allocations of very rare wines from the Stag’s Leap District in Napa. He’s been squirreling these wines away in his temperature controlled cellar, just waiting for them to mature to the peak of perfection. These are wines that you really can’t get at retail, especially in these vintages! He has finally decided to break them open and wants us to join him while he does it (you can imagine TJ’s excitement to get his hands on some of these wines!). He’s created an amazing menu that exemplifies why we’ve all come to love The Fireplace – classic, New England fare with Jim’s own flair mixed in.
Take a look at the menu and then call right over to the Fireplace (617.975.1900) to reserve your spot – there are only a few reservations left! The cost of the evening is $110, which as wine dinners go is a complete steal.
