Celebrate the end of this year's series with a free reception at Flora's Wine Bar, a brand new wine bar-cum-restaurant located a few doors down from the West Newton Cinema (in the space formerly occupied by Coney Island Ice Cream), immediately following the screening of The Taste of Pho. The reception features complimentary the wine bar's signature "small bites" with a cash bar. Please let us know if you will be able to attend as space is limited and it's first-come, first served!
Flora's Wine Bar is owned by Mei Mei co-founder Andrew Li and Corey Fletcher, who most recently served as bar manager at Catalyst in Kendall Square. The wine list features a selection of mostly Old World wines, including bottles from small and obscure producers in Germany, Italy, and France. There is also a handful of picks from North America, South America, Australia, and New Zealand to fill in the gaps. The cocktail menu focuses on classics with a twist: a spicy margarita uses jalapeño tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, and a splash of pineapple; the Veronica Vaughn is a mezcal- and tequila-based cocktail featuring grapefruit juice, Aperol, and housemade Saigon Cinnamon syrup; and a riff on a whiskey sour is made with house-infused fig bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, egg white, and Peychaud’s bitters. A small selection of beer is also available.
