So, take a look at the new design (and please feel free to leave comments on our Facebook page), and while you’re here, take advantage of a special deal for the month of February.  Book a room on our website for any night, Monday through Saturday, in February and you’ll receive one free dinner entree at our Black Sheep Restaurant.  Known for innovative home-style American cooking — with organic and locally grown ingredients — the Black Sheep pairs outstanding food with a carefully chosen wine list and selection of locally brewed beers.  It’s the perfect place to settle in and cozy up for an warm Boston evening on a cold winter night.

2008 Mac Murray Pinot Gris
Rich aromas of fig and white peach. The flavors of peach, spicy pear and citrus are melded together in a rich core, resulting in a round mouth feel which compliments it crisp, clean finish.

2008 C.M.S. Red
A nicely balanced wine with enough acidity and tannins. Dark purple in color with a nose of black cherry and cassis. This wine pairs nicely with a wide array of foods.
