The Wine Bottega - Matt's Meals

Matt regularly appears with Jordan Rich on “Connoisseur’s Corner” which airs on WBZ AM 1030 (http://boston.cbslocal.com) weekdays at 11:55 AM.

The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s forthcoming segments:

There is nothing nicer than enjoying a delicious glass of wine while enjoying a beautiful Summer day or evening. Unfortunately, while the outside of many wine bottles are beautiful as well, what is inside may not be so. From anti-freeze ingredients to materials taken from cow innards to heavy metals like lead, there are hundreds of additives that are commonly used even by some of the most popular wineries.

Fortunately, there is also the Wine Bottega on Hanover Street in Boston’s historic North End.

In addition to being one of the rare wine shops where every bottle is personally and professionally tasted and vouched for by the owners, it is the only one in the area that assures customers that every single bottle is taken from the 7 percent of wineries that can be called “clean,” by which we mean no Mega Purple or other additives at all. So even if you are not a sommelier, you can be sure to pick something that is not only real delicious but…well…real!

In additions to weekly tastings on Friday evening, the Bottega also offers the a monthly club called Farm to Glass which allows guests who cannot make it to the shop to still enjoy its wonderful wares.

So the net time you want to take in some natural beauty, drop by the Wine Bottega or have them come to you!
