The foodies are back from a trip to Italy (and wishing we were still there), but before I share any of the delicious memories here's some news you can use for your Thanksgiving weekend in Boston.

So, a Sweet Tooth Walks into a Bar

Cafe Fleuri
The Langham, 250 Franklin St., Boston, (617) 451-1900
Deluxe Chocolate Bar

Wine Lovers (May) Rejoice

According to Free the Grapes, a national coalition of wineries and wine lovers, a court ruling yesterday in Family Winemakers of California v. Jenkins declared Massachusetts' restrictions on winery-to-consumer shipments unconstitutional! Pending appeals, that means you may actually be able to have wine delivered to your Massachusetts home from any winery, anywhere! Anyone who's traveled to Tuscany knows how nice it would have been to just ship their hand-picked Chiantis and Montelpucians home to Mass., rather than shove them in their checked baggage.


Until next time...

Happy dining!
