In Piedmont, noble wine land, north from the renowned Langhe there is an interesting wine area which is called Roero and recently it is getting more and more successful and esteemed. The area owes its fame to a young vintner, talented and of genial intuitions, as well as being convinced of the potentiality of the wines of his land: Matteo Correggiia. In little more than ten years Matteo Correggia was successful in leaving an indelible sign in the history of the Piedmont's enology: his wines.

So why not go over to Harbor East tonight, between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., try some free wine, mingle with the nice wine-tasters, perhaps learn something new and maybe meet someone new, too?

Also, while we're mentioning Cinghiale (no, they are not paying me, though I would happily take free food), they are starting what I think is a lovely idea -- and another non-bar way to meet people -- Sunday night dinner. For $29, you get three courses (antipasti, pasta and dessert). One catch: there is one seating. Doors open at 5:30, service starts at 6. You bring your friends, other people bring their friends and family, everyone has a good time over wine and food.
