The Wine Market’s latest pairing

The Wine Market has come up with an inspired way to enjoy wine, thanks to its new wine director, Lucien Walsh. He is presenting an evening of wine and song—but not the way you think—at the Locust Point restaurant.

Here’s how it will work. From 6:30-8:30 p.m. Aug. 26, guests will enjoy wines poured by Lucien while an iPod is playing an appropriate, accompanying tune. There will be a bank of headphone jacks. People can bring their own headphones or use disposable units provided by the restaurant.

“Both are sensory experiences,” explained Lucien about the wine/song pairing in an e-mail. “It seemed to us a pretty natural progression.”

Tickets are $25; space is limited. Any questions, contact Lucien.
