Sticking to the Classics , Wrapping Up at Grill 23

Nestled in Back Bay at 161 Berkeley Street, you’ll find Grill 23. For the past 40 years it has secured its standing as Boston’s premier steak house. Their team's commitment to providing exceptional dining experiences, marked by the flawless service they provide and the welcoming atmosphere they create, make them a go-to space if you’re looking to celebrate or just enjoy a little steak frites at the bar.

On any given night you’ll find Wine Director, Hugo Bensimon, at the helm. He oversees one of the most extensive wine lists in the city. Specially selected, highly allocated, and incredibly rare. That’s how we would describe many of the wines in his book. This month we were lucky enough to steal his attention away for just a bit. The four wines he chose for you this month are quite special. What a perfect way to end 2023.
