"Wine Week has been a celebrated event for over 25 years and allows us to share our knowledge of wine with our guests," said Michael Feighery, president of SWRG. "The event symbolizes our restaurants' unparalleled hospitality and impeccable dining experience by offering our guests an approachable opportunity to sample and enjoy wines from some of the most exclusive winemakers in the world, all while learning about the particular varietals and regions from our knowledgeable staff."

New to Wine Week festivities, SWRG will debut its Catch an Early Flight promotion on National Drink Wine Day, Feb. 18. Guests can sample featured wines—a preview of four Wine Week offerings for $18 at all nine locations. The Boston Back Bay location will participate in Wine Week activities for the first time with the introduction of the wine flight promotion available during dinner at that location. Boston residents may participate in National Wine Week during lunch at the Boston Atlantic Wharf location.

"Wine Week is my favorite time of year because we're able to feature some of the best wines in the world at a price that's not intimidating," said Roy. "With the introduction of the Catch an Early Flight promotion, we are allowing guests a sneak peek of our featured wineries at an incredible value, a month in advance. These include Ferrari-Carano, Cuvaison Estate Wines, Swanson Vineyards and Heitz Cellar."

The restaurant group has earned the WINE SPECTATOR Award of Excellence for the 25th consecutive year. Three of its locations—Chicago, Las Vegas and Houston—have received the prestigious Best of Award of Excellence.
