Morton's The Steakhouse: Upcoming Wine Events

Morton’s The Steakhouse will open its doors to Boston wine enthusiasts for two unique tasting events in June: a blind tasting event and a winemaker dinner.

Morton’s The Steakhouse Master Classes give participants insight and knowledge into the world of a wine professional. As part of the Master Class series, Morton’s Back Bay introduces guests to the sommelier craft through a Blind Wine Tasting Seminar on June 9. Sara Fasolino, Certified Sommelier and Beverages Manager for Morton’s, will guide guests through the blind tasting, expanding palates and enhancing their sense of smell along the way.

The tasting includes seven wines expertly paired with Morton’s signature hors d’oeuvres, including smoked salmon pinwheels, chicken goujonettes, Roma tomato crostini and petite filet sandwiches. As the tasting progresses from light wines (Prosecco) to heavy (Malbec), guests learn to distinguish the nuances of different grapes and vintages. All participants earn a “Morton’s Associate Sommelier” certificate at the end of the session.

Master Class:
Wednesday, June 9, from 6pm–7:30pm
Cost: $49 per guest, inclusive of tax and gratuity
