June 8th First Tuesday Preview!
Meet Your Host
Elio Noti moved to America from Albania in 1999. In 2007 he opened
Sullivan Square Liquors at 30 Broadway, which has since then become an East Somerville staple. While Elio is well versed in all
types of liquor, his specialty is really with wine. His favorite wine? A wine
with medium to full body, a long finish and a peppery taste.
What you can look forward to: We will be tasting
several different Portuguese wines that Elio recommended as good quality for
not much money. All the bottles, red and white, run from only $7-$9 dollars and
are "well worth the money," Elio said. We also can look forward to a visit from
a professional sales rep who will be at the store to answer all your wine
questions!
Make sure you join us June 8th from
6-8pm at Sullivan Square
Liquors (30 Broadway)!
