Sparkle, Wine, Dine

WHAT: On Wednesday, February 24th, 2016, two-time Emmy award-winning executive producer and Boston-based entertainment and lifestyle television personality, Jenny Johnson is teaming up with Blue on Highland, located in Needham, MA, to host “Sparkle, Wine, Dine.” From 6:30PM to 8:30PM, Jenny will introduce Needham to Champy, her all new sparkling wine during this three course dinner.

Johnson, who has been steering the people of Boston and greater New England toward choice dining and drinking experiences for more than a decade through her work as a two-time Emmy Award-winning producer and television host (“Dining Playbook” and “TV Diner”) is now turning local imbibers on to her own brand of brut. Champy is a chardonnay and pinot noir blend produced in Sonoma County, CA and its sparkle is derived from the traditional method of fermentation, also known as the méthode champenoise, in which a secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle.

Jenny will be joined by Scott Drago, General Manager of Blue on Highland and Executive Chef Peter Tartsinis as the three of them guide diners through the multi-course prix fixe menu which will include a welcome toast, followed by an appetizer, entrée and dessert all paired with a hand-crafted cocktail featuring Champy. The dinner is $65 per person (tax and gratuity not included), and reservations are required. For more information please call Blue on Highland at781-444-7001 or visit www.blueonhighland.com.
