North End’s Wine Bottega Offers Tastings Every Friday Night

Kerri Platt has owned The Wine Bottega for the past four years.

A resident of the South Shore, Kerri received an undergraduate degree from Yale University in 1998.

She also earned a master’s degree in wine business from The University of Adelaide in Australia.

So this woman knows quite a bit about wine and how to run a business.

The shop, located at 341 Hanover Street, is beautiful inside.

Moreover, the wine is excellent.

This past Sunday, The Wine Bottega was one of the stops for the City Wine Tours.

The event is held for people to learn about grapes, Italian food pairings and history of the North End.

At the same time, all who attended were able to sample Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese, Prosecco and Pinot Bianco.

The North End Wine Tour explored the wines of Tuscany, Piedmont and Abruzzo through a collection of North End establishments.

As for Kerri’s shop, there are free wine tastings every Friday night from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Stop by next time you are in the neighborhood.
