End this rainy week on a high note by indulging in three of the most fantastic items we get to encounter in this life at the first-ever Brooklyn Reserve Wine, Beer, and Cheese Festival at The Bell House on Friday evening, May 18. There will be “extensive sampling” available from a curated selection of more than 30 vendors and purveyors like Crown Finish Caves, Jasper Hill Farm, Mountauk Brewing Company, Sixpoint, Domaine du Colombier, and many more, as well as passed bites, and live jazz music from Jerome Sabbagh Trio. This shindig starts at 5pm, so it’s the perfect excuse to leave the office a little earlier than usual, and tickets are $40 each.
