Best of Boston

Strutting into its second summer season, this eclectic wine bar’s speakeasy vibe isn’t just for oenophiles. Cocktail connoisseurs will appreciate the refreshing drinks list, while foodies can dig into a menu featuring freshly shucked local oysters, caviar, and salmon crudo. Our idea of the perfect pairing, though, has to be the gooey grilled cheese on local pink-salt sourdough with a glass of Il Monticello, a juicy Italian red with notes of dusty cherry.
