September Sunday Wine Specials at Boarding House announced
This is one place on my foodie bucket list that I have yet to visit. That chandelier looks amazing in photos, so I can imagine how impressive it is in person. Sundays in September sound like a great time to visit.
THE BOARDING HOUSE INTRODUCES SUNDAY WINE SPECIALS
Singh spotlights bottles from her cellar
Beginning in September, Chicago's favorite wine-driven destination, The Boarding House,is pleased to present a selection of specially priced bottles of wines every Sunday evening in the restaurant's spectacular, first floor bar. Each week, Proprietor and Master Sommelier Alpana Singh features a list of wines from her personally stocked cellar of over 450 global selections for only $28 (exclusive of tax and gratuity).
Spotlighted specials range from $100 bottles, to Singh's current favorites, to varietals she finds particularly interesting. All are selected to complement Chef de Cuisine Bjorn Rasmussen's seasonal menu, whose offerings have been specially tailored for Sunday evenings in the bar.
"We think this is a fun opportunity for wine lovers, both new and experienced, to discover something unique at an attractive price point," said Singh.
Selections will change frequently. Introductory offerings include:
