Kudos to Troquet (140 Boylston Street, Boston, 617.695.9463), for continuing to thrill serious wine lovers with unusual, high-quality wines conveniently matched to its fine French menu, and not marking up its pours to five times retail. Praise to Bin 26 Enoteca (26 Charles Street, Boston, 617.723.5939), for its adventurous, globetrotting list for wine lovers of every budget, and the accompanying simple, tasty snacks that don't distract from wine as the main event. And thanks to Coda Kitchen & Bar (329 Columbus Avenue, Boston, 617.536.2632), for hiring tapas queen Deborah de Haro to design a list of serious but inexpensive wines well-suited to its slightly elevated American comfort food, encouraging budding but cash-strapped oenophiles to expand their range beyond familiar California pop wines.
