Urban Tastings
It's such a busy month that we are not having a pop-up tasting in December, but keep your eyes on our Facebook and Twitter pages for news on their return in 2012! Meanwhile, be sure to join us on Thursday and Friday nights from 5-8 and Saturdays from 2-5 for our regular tastings. Below are a few event and tasting highlights for the upcoming month:
Friday, December, 5-8 PM: Join Neil McCallum as he pours some funky Italian wines from lesser known (but equally as outstanding!) producers. Saturday, December 3, 2-5 PM: Christmas parties are upon us, and we've got you covered for hostess gifts. Sample wine from Lindy at Winebow while browsing the amazing collection of Lynzariums - unique vessels filled with natural elements (succulents, sand, stones, etc) that are truly gorgeous works of art. This is the PERFECT gift and you can purchase them today at UG! Friday, December 9, 5-8 PM: A true holiday tasting with Frapin Cognac and Los Amantes Mezcal. Whether the person you're buying for likes cognac from one of the oldest cognac producing houses in France, or likes discovering new spirits, there's something here for everyone! Saturday, December 10, 2-5 PM: Amazing line-up that you will not want to miss! Meet Raj, the founder of Whistle Pig Rye from Vermont and taste the product that we literally cannot keep in stock. Next, sample the line-up of Duval LeRoy Champagnes, the bubbly we think has the best quality/price ratio. Lastly, sample holiday cheeses, honeys and jams from the cheese purveyors at Whole Foods Brighton! Awesome, right? Wednesday, December 14, 6-9 PM: It's time to drink and shop with UG and Ted Baker! Join us at Ted Baker, 201 Newbury Street, for complimentary wine and chocolate while you shop the entire store with an exclusive discount. We held this event last year and our UG customers went home with bags full of gorgeous clothes at a fraction of the price! RSVP by clicking here. Friday, December 16, 5-8 PM: BellaVista Spumante is one of the very best Italian Sparkling wines we've ever had. Made in Franciacorta in the style of Champagne, this wine speaks Italian with a French accent. Meet Sara Pedrali, BellaVista's charming national rep, who will be pouring alongside Chris Lohring, founder and brewer of Notch Session Ales from Boston. He'll be sampling his new Cerne Pivo brew! Saturday, December 18, 2-5 PM: Join Noah as he pours his winter beer choices - both for drinking and for giving! This would be the perfect time to stop by and get a little help building a four- or six-pack of brews for your favorite beer geek. **Please note, UG will be open until 9 PM to accommodate last minute holiday shopping! Wednesday, December 21, 5-8 PM: Cody from Trio kicks off our dash to Christmas with a special Wednesday night tasting of these funky wines from around the world. Thursday, December 22, 4-8 PM: Frank from Carolina keeps the ball rolling with a special sampling of his favorite holiday selections! Friday, December 23, 3-8 PM: Join Mark from Harborside and taste his selection of big, bold reds for the holidays! Saturday, December 24, 1-8 PM: You've bought presents for everyone else, now it's time to make sure there is something under the tree for you. Join Shirlee from United as she finds you the perfect bottle to drink by the light of the tree. **Please note, UG will be closing at 8 PM on Christmas Eve so our staff can be with their families. Saturday, December 31, 2-8 PM: Bubbly, bubbly and more bubbly. We will have bottles open all day for you to sample. Whether you're having an intimate celebratory dinner for two or an all-night rager for 200, we have the bubbly for you! **Please note, UG will be closing at 8 PM on New Year's Eve so our staff can celebrate!
