Takeout is not just for eating - choose your Wine

A new website, Winelog, is an excellent resource for those who want their wine, but don't know their wine or perhaps want to compare notes on their knowledge. The site offers ability to view and rate wines as well as add comments. The rating system is driven by the community, it's 'social wining' if you will, and provides a clean and simple approach to picking wine in style, quickly and easily.

Tipping point

To tip or not and if so - how much? Seems like an ever present question when one goes out. Recently due to a change in food as we know it, with stores opening delis and fast-casual becoming the new breed of restaurants - the landscape is changing and the tipping question still exists.

According to an article in the Register Guard (Eugene, OR), tipping varies depending on the restaurant, but the old sentiment seems to still rule the day - it's up to the tipper and it's based on the service.
