Part of the ritual of wine drinking is uncorking a bottle to pour the wine into a glass. That’s no longer the only routine. First came fake corks, then screwcap bottles. Now some serious restaurants are serving wine from kegs.

Father's Office

Father’s Office offers eight wines on tap at a time. Currently this includes Holus Bolus Syrah. Chef Sang Yoon helped perfect the method of pouring wine from a tap.  (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)
