Take a culinary wine tour around the world with the Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro’s Wine & Dine Mondays series. The series is designed to both educate and entertain. Aimed at oenophiles of all levels, “Wine & Dine Mondays are about wonderful wines, creative food and friendship,” said Cecilia Rait, Proprietress and resident Wine Director of the Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro. Diners’ are invited to visit various wine regions without leaving the comfort of their seats, as Cecilia and Tracy Burgis of M.S. Walker act as virtual tour guides moving from region to region and explaining the complexities of each selection. Each of the eight events will be held on the second and fourth Monday of every month beginning on September 29th, 2010 and ending on December 6th, 2010.  As the series spans the globe from our very own vineyards here in the U.S., to various locals such as Spain and France, the series is of course not simply about the wine; but, also the wonderful food. Each four-course dinner showcases regional fare as well the culinary artistry of the new Chef of the Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro, Executive Chef Matthew Molloy previously of Lumiere whose selections will accent each featured wine. This intimate adventure is set in communal seating to encourage conversation and for the price of $55.00 per person (tax and gratuity not included), guests are treated to the full four-course dinner including the various wines to accompany their dining and educational experience. Reservations are encouraged as most nights sell out well in advance.
