Receive a Random App while giving Kindness
Now in its 19th year, Taste of the Nation is the ultimate Random App of Kindness. The concept is simple: bring together the finest wineries and local restaurants for one night and hold a gala tasting. For the cost of a meal out, you can sample random appetizers from 50 local restaurants and sip wine from around the globe. Taste of the Nation is the preeminent culinary fundraiser supporting the fight to end hunger. One hundred percent of ticket sales go directly towards ending hunger locally and globally.
The event supports one of Julia's favorite charities, Share Our Strength, and it's coming to Boston on April 6, and to many other cities throughout the year. Even if you can't attend, you can always donate or volunteer for Share or Strength or other hunger-fighting organizations in your area. Perhaps we'll see you there.

Bordeaux to go

Well, not exactly, but I was pleased to note that last week the House and Senate overturned the Governor's veto on a bill that - among other things - allows restaurants to re-cork wine so that diners can take unfinished bottles home.
A word of warning to partial bottle drinkers: not every restaurant has yet acquired the necessary equipment for officially re-corking and sealing the bottle to prevent you getting busted for carrying an open container. Ask before you order that extra bottle for later!
