Saturday swigging

Brookline Liquor Mart wine tastings

Brookline Liquor Mart (actually located in Allston, at 1354 Comm Ave) is indisputably one of the city's best wine purveyors, and, every Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m., staffers pull between six and 12 bottles from the huge inventory and pour them for complimentary tastings. Each week, there's a different theme; the wines might be categorized by grape, region, producer, or even by holiday. If you buy any three bottles from the day's tasting, you'll receive a 20 percent discount. For more information, call 734-7700 or e-mail info@BLMWine.com.
