Is there a wine bar somewhere at Boston Logan Airport?

I'm about to take a vacation to Cape Cod and Nantucket (Nantucket Wine Festival.) On the return trip my flight doesn't leave Logan until late afternoon but I will want to get there early to turn in a rental car and clear security. It would be nice to relax at a wine bar before boarding my flight.

I haven't been there much in the last few years but there's some new restaurants there that probably have a few decent wines on the list. See link.

If the Legal there has the full Legal winelist, you can make do with that. You have to keep an eye on what they give you, because sometimes they'll change vintages.
But they carry a decent selection of negociant burgundy (Jadot, Louis Latour) and larger-production American pinot, and they have at least a couple of half bottles for every grape variety.


(Last time I was there, they swapped a brutally green 2004 for a 2005 ( a half of Louis Latour Volnay 1er), and I didn't notice it until I took the first whiff of the "sample pour" and got whacked in the nose with 2004 greeness. When I complained, they pointed to the fine-text disclaimer that vintages might vary from those listed on the meny. I asked them why our server hadn't told us they were pouring a different vintage before she opened the wine, and did they realize that swapping 2004 for 2005 in Burgundy wasn't exactly like giving me the 2003 Beringer Knight's Valley instead of the 2004. They agreed to take back the bottle.)

Thanks for the replies. If the timing is right I might have lunch at Legal Seafood. I know at the one in DC I've been able to order a Gewurz from Alsace and I do like Burgundies.

Their selections "by the glass" may be limited.

True, but the last time I was there they were serving '04 Pepiere Muscadet BTG. Not too shabby a choice, especially with seafood

Indeed, when at Logan I always make my way to Legal Seafood. As others have reported, one has to take a bit of care on what vintage is being poured but I have found some very nice Muscadets de Sevres et Maine and some very pleasant Chablis to go with my oysters and then even several appealiung Burgundy reds to go with the more "serious" dishes. Nothing "great" about Legal Seafood but for me at least, alway fun and rewarding dining.
