Hood River Inn goes green with red wine

Jan McCartan, catering manager and wine director at the Best Western Plus Hood River Inn in Oregon, takes an unusual approach to her house wines. They are made by a local winemaker, award-winning Rich Cushman of Viento Wines, who delivers them in refillable canisters. The Riverside Restaurant house wines are dispensed via a tap system. They never see a cork. There are no boxes. The only time the wines spend in glass is when they are poured for diners.
