A little more wine for your week… 🍷👨🏫📖
Last week we had Matthieu from come in for a wine training class on the Burgundy region. You may have met Matthieu in one way or another: drinking one of his delicious wines, sitting alongside his family at dinner, or being charmed by his accent at one of our special events. ✨
We are so thankful for his time educating the staff, brining in new wines for us to try, and making learning about terroir (dare we say) FUN! As depicted, Burgundy is the heart of wine making in France🫀🇫🇷
Staff favorite: 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 🥇

“Since October, patrons at Forsythia have been scribbling tales of shape-shifting dragons and forlorn astronauts inside a tiny notebook. They’re all, amazingly, part of the same story, one that comes with its own craft cocktail.” - Kristin Hunt from
Our cocktail The Story is only available at happy hour only at the bar. What started as a collaborative mini-novel in October is quickly reaching its last empty pages. Will you be the one to finish our first Story? Stop by, order the drink, and flex those story telling muscles. 🥃📕
