Abe & Louie's wine dinner to showcase Duckhorn wines, March 25

I tried to order a bottle of Duckhorn cabernet sauvignon this evening while out for dinner in St. Kitts. Unfortunately, they were out of stock. Fortunately, I'll have another opportunity on Monday, March 25, when Abe & Louie's will present a wine dinner showcasing this sophisticated and elegant Napa Valley wine.

Located in the heart of Back Bay, Abe & Louie's, an iconic Boston steakhouse, offers a distinct fine dining experience. The restaurant focuses on the highest tier of food, service and décor, with a commitment to quality best represented in its signature prime steaks hand-selected from the finest corn-fed Nebraskan beef. Each steak is monitored under a fastidious on-the-bone aging process to ensure the most flavorful, juicy cuts. In addition to its beloved steaks, Abe & Louie’s offers an extensive array of seafood and produce.

On Monday, March 25, 6:30 p.m., East Coast eats meets West Coast wines when Abe & Louie’s and Duckhorn Vineyards join forces in a five-course wine dinner. Five world-class boutique wines will be paired with a specialty-crafted menu of Abe’s dishes. Abe’s Executive Chef Tindaro Losurdo, Sommelier Brent Hayes, and a Duckhorn representative will be on hand to guide guests through the pairing selections and answer any questions about the menu.
