A Bellini Bar Is Born

If you're beered out from Patty's Day, know that restaurant Dante is launching a new Friday and Saturday Bellini bar, where you can land one of Hemingway's favorite cocktails made to order for $9. Choose from traditional (prosecco with peach puree) to an alternating array of fresh-fruit purees. Prosecco with prosecco puree doesn't count, by the way...

Sliders and Burgundy in Waltham

In an effort to increase your appreciation of the complex Burgundy wine, Gordon's is hosting a three-hour tasting of over 15 different Burgundies on Saturday (paired with plenty of beef and shrimp sliders), and in a move befitting your regal stature, they'll be passing out some bubbly as you walk through the door. If only they could make the same happen at the office...
