Ever since I visited Italy in 2007, I continue to reminisce about eating at restaurants where a pitcher of wine would be standard on the table. Sure it was the house red or white wine but it was Italian, right? And it was good! Maybe not the best… but it was good and it paired well with whatever Italian food we were eating at the time.

When we arrived back in the states and dined in restaurants I began looking for restaurants that offered the same type of wine experience and did not find any. Was it because I don’t live in a “wine” region? Probably not, since I visit plenty of wine regions. Still, why not?

Today I delightedly came across an article by Nathan Scherotter, I’ll Take Whatever Wine You Have on Tap…Thanks and I began thinking maybe this is the way for restaurants to be able to begin offering a pitcher of house wine to their diners. Check out the article on the cork’d website. The concept is that wine is sold in kegs or on tap. This is environmentally friendly, too as it saves on the use of many glass bottles.

Have you had wine on tap yet?

Cheers! Kathy
