Wine on Tap: Local Restaurant, Wineries Go Beyond Bag-in-Box

I think we've all been there -- in a restaurant that may or may not pay much attention to its wine list and may or may not pay even less attention to their by-the-glass selection -- more or less offering whatever is already open, and over-charging you for it.
You order a glass anyway, knowing that you're playing by-the-glass roulette. Before you even take a sip, you can pinpoint how long the bottle has been open -- somewhere between a week and a year. Oxidized, cooked or both.
Now imagine a different world completely, one where every glass of wine is fresh and tastes the way the winemaker intended. Now imagine that -- in that same world -- the wine by the glass isn't a rip-off.
This is the world of wine in kegs. And it's come to Long Island in the form of Verace, a new Italian restaurant in Islip. I haven't been there yet, but the wine program is certainly intriguing.
What is wine in a keg?
