The resto is called the Ashmont Grill. They do Wine Club every Monday evening. They donate part of the proceeds to area concerns that can use the help, like a neighborhood nursery/child care concern; an old park in the area, playgrounds, etc...anything that helps improve the quality of life for the commuinity.
They do 4 course dinners - using small plates so they can keep costs down. A different style of wine or a specific winery is featured every week and pair w/the plates.
The first time I went there was a pre-dinner cocktail waiting at everyone's spot, so that was nice. The pours are usually 2-3 ounces per glass and you usually end up pretty warm and toasty by the end of the dinner.
(Unfortunately the last time I went the sommelier barely poured at all. He mostly sat in the corner texting, making phone calls and drinking up the wine himself. I don't think I had a full 5 oz. glass of wine that night - not cool. Diva likes to get her grape on.)
Anyhoo - usually it's pretty great.
