Bottles & Bark is Sunday, May 3

Connecting good friends with great wine!
Never Drink Ordinary!

Bottles & Bark

Sunday, May 3 from 1-4 PM 


At Pour Richard's, we like our wine (beer, spirits). We also like our dog friends. (That's Bailey, above...) Once a year, we put them together for Bottles & Bark!

This event benefits Forever Home Rescue of Medfield, an organization that has rescued and re-homed over 1,000 dogs into local communities. 100% of your $10 suggested donation goes to FHR. In addition, Pour Richard's will donate a portion of sales.

We have all our fave suppliers, pouring 41 different wines and spirits, all at crazy discounts. Customer-favorite Washington red blend, 33% off. Magnums of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo for $6. A gloriously oaky Chardonnay for $15. Not one but 2 heavily-discounted XO Cognacs. 16 different wines at $9 or under! Stock up for spring and summer parties and save BIG.

Whole Foods is contributing snacks for both people and dogs: delicious cheese, fruit, and breads plus organic dog foods and treats.

Please consider attending this fun event, and bringing your friends. As always, well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome, too. If you got your friend at FHR, we'd especially like to meet them.

See you Sunday!




            Mark your calendars for another great event!
