An enophile’s fantasy come true: wine pours forth from kitchen faucets

Yep, you might say they turned water into wine.

Check out the Decanter.com story entitled “Italian plumbing bungle turns water into wine”.

Why doesn’t this kind of thing ever happen in Dayton, Ohio? What if we could hook up those Riverscape fountains in the Great Miami River to an endless supply of wine? Now THAT would spur downtown development …

Who’s got the list?

Of course, it comes to Uncorked via the nothing-less-than-heroic efforts of a local wine listserv which compiles the information. And each week, it’s a minor miracle. Don’t believe me? Just click on “continue reading” to find out for yourself. I double-dog-dare you.

Wine & Dine: More local restaurants are offering wine tasting/dinner pairings [review]

Wine glasses

Some are searching for new customers. Others are looking for a test market for new appetizers or entrees. Others want customer feedback on which new wines to add to the wine list.
