Dust off your Docs (Martens, that is) and throw back a vibe (and a sip) or two, as Puritan & Co. pops open some fun bottles from the cellar for a special “We Love the ’90s” wine dinner. Perfectly paired with six courses of ’90s-inspired cuisine from Chef Will Gilson (Dunkaroos need not apply), Puritan & Co. Wine Director David Danforth has curated a rare selection of ’90s wines that span the decade when grunge and “Beverly Hills 90210” were big and the troll dolls were tiny.
