By the Glass If there’s one thing that’s better than wine, it’s the choice of 200 wines by the glass. This presents a rather delicious dilemma: Which to try? The much-lauded PlumpJack cab? The Robert Foley claret that’s perennially sold out? Or that rare Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia? At Vino Wine Bar in Boca Raton, you can try all three—and then some—depending on whim. The Vino kitchen turns out tasty tapas (the old-school Italian meatballs are a house favorite; the escarole and beans a personal one) to accompany your wine selection, making for a fun evening of noshing and imbibing. Live entertainment keeps spirits high well into the night. (561-869-0030, vinowinebar boca.com) —Daphne Nikolopoulos
In addition to a selection of 200 wines, Vino offers tapas, like the old-school Italian meatballs served with ricotta.
