Bubble Bath at High Street Place continues Guest Sommelier Series
Boston, MA Bubble Bath, located at 100 High Street Pl., the award-winning wine bar at High Street Place from Tiffani Faison’s Big Heart Hospitality group, is bringing back the Guest Sommelier Series each Monday from 5:00 pm to close. Hosted by Charlie Gaeta, Big Heart Hospitality’s sommelier, guests can slide up to the intimate 13-seat bar and sip a curated list of wines hand selected by some of the wine industry’s most respected names, all available by the taste, glass, or flight.
The featured guest sommelier this past January was Liz Vilardi, a veteran sommelier with a two-decade career as a wine expert, buyer and former owner of Cambridge-based Belly Wine Bar. Over her career, she has earned Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston awards for “Best Wine Program” and “Best Wine Shop,” Wine Enthusiast’s “100 Best Wine Restaurants” award, and Food & Wine magazine named Belly as one of its “Top Ten Wine Bars in America.”
On Monday, February 6th, Bubble Bath’s featured guest sommelier was Rebecca Wheeler. A certified sommelier since the age of 21, Wheeler is now the New England manager of Wilson Daniels wine distributors representing a highly selective portfolio of the world’s most distinctive wines and spirits. Through her work, she inspires and promotes a passion for wine from the most distinguished properties and terroirs around the world.
On Monday February 13th, Bubble Bath welcomed Katie Hubbard, wine director and assistant general manager of Pammy’s in Cambridge. Prior to Pammy’s, Hubbard was entranced in the magic of Sherry and craft cocktails at Taberna de Haro.
A live DJ will be on hand to set the vibe and Bubble Bath’s menu will be available all night, so guests may opt to pair their pours with gourmet hot dogs and popcorn, making it the perfect spot for a fun and unique wine-drinking experience for wine connoisseurs and novices alike.
