Is it hard to write about wine every day in the Boston area?
Hmmm.
It is almost as hard as it is to drink wine every day.
In other words, not very.
That's because -- no matter how hot it is outside or how routine our day-to-day lives seem to get -- Boston restaurateurs (and their marketing minds) have always got their thinking caps on.
They get creative. They throw curveballs. And, if they really want to get us going, it won't cost us the world.
Here are a few of the more unique ideas to cross our desk lately. Click through. Check them out. Notice what sparks your interest.
Then go and toast creativity -- theirs and your own.

DAILY TIDBIT:
The scope of the subject of wine is never ending, so many other subjects lie within its boundaries... It embraces botany, chemistry, agriculture, carpentry, economics -- any number of sciences whose names I do not even know. It leads you up paths of knowledge and by-ways of experience you would never glimpse without it.
