Two for the Road

PoerWine’s Traveling Wine Bar

Ladies and gentlemen. Step right up for the show of the season: husband-and-wife team Tony and Rachael Poer and their traveling wine bar.

What’s more entertaining than boozing at home?

Tony is your sommelier for the evening; Rachel, your gracious hostess. Together they transform your dining room into a spiffy bar — unless you can accommodate their 200-pound mobile version. Choose from existing or tailored menus to complement the mood of your gathering. The Chill-Out accompanies BBQ grub. The Bubble Bar goes nicely with finger foods. Or they’ll create a custom flight just for you.

The dynamic duo charms the crowd with topics like pipi du chat (French for “cat piss,” and a phrase often used to describe pinot grigio notes), a shrouded mystery wine to test your savoir faire, and a list of vintages produced by nearby purveyors.

No, the Poers can’t fly through the air or make balloon animals.

But they’re still worth the price of admission.
