You know you’re in a good wine shop when you walk in and the employees are discussing what vinyl is going to pair best with the night’s tasting. If you’re in Greenpoint, you also know you’re at Dandelion Wine, where the sample sips, snacks and soundtrack are always perfectly paired. Stop in this Thursday for their weekly tasting which will include a delicious selection of wine(s) paired with cheese and meats from Eastern District and bread from SCRATCHbread. Be sure to pick up one of their cool Baggu bags and a bottle of Chateau Pradeaux Bandol Rosé, Claire’s staff pick for the month (and a personal fave), if you want to treat yourself to a something really refreshing and summery. If the Bandol is too hard on the wallet ($29 and well worth it) they also have Famega rose for only $8, which is also a nice treat. –J.H.
