This opportunity is part of the weekly “Blue Duck Uncorked” wine program.

WHEN: Every Tuesday from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM.

WHY: Every Tuesday evening Blue Duck Tavern will be pouring a specially selected rare magnum which is not found on the restaurant’s featured wine list, for a "taste" as a part of the “Blue Duck Uncorked” series. This experience is exclusively available on Tuesday, and the selection of fine wines is chosen by Blue Duck Tavern General Manager Joseph Cerione.
