Question of the week

The question: What’s the best-value wine to order in a restaurant?

The answer: Beer. (Just kidding.) It depends on the establishment, but there’s something to be said for choosing the offbeat.

This can include oddities like ribolla from Italy or piquepoul from France, and it includes appellations like Toro in Spain.
