Upstairs at Atria

Monday nights in Midtown are now a reason to rejoice with the creation of a unique tasting event series at Atria restaurant (13-15 West 54th Street, New York). While their March program focused on the unique pairing of scotch and donuts, April will showcase the restaurant’s Prestige wine collection of rare, mature vintages.

Expect to sample remarkable wines from Heitz Cellars 1976, as well as the Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 1996 and Michel Niellon Batard Montrachet 2003 (widely considered to be amongst the best white wines from Burgundy).

“Very seldom will you find selections like these available by the glass, ” explains Nic Bradley, Atria’s Wine Director.  “Every wine lover should have the opportunity to experience the magic of a fine wine and it is our goal to offer this experience.”

The events, hosted in the Rockefeller Bar, are hosted every Monday night from 5:30PM - 10:30PM.  The wine tasting includes three three-ounce tastes of exceptional vintages for $30 per person. Full glasses and half glasses are also available for tasting.
