Federal Wine and Spirits is located on State Street in downtown Boston. Federal carries rare and vintage wines as well as an excellent collection of single malt scotch. Join Federal Wine and Spirits for free tastings held every Wednesday from 5pm to 7pm

Ask for Len for French and Peter for Italian. Tastings every Wednesday.
