Murrie, who is ending his eight-year stint as head of oenology at A Southern Season this month, brings a wealth of experience along with a lot of first-hand knowledge of the small, eclectic wineries 3CUPS features. The plan is to grow the list from 40 to more than 200 labels. To paraphrase co-founder Lex Alexander, 3CUPS is changing from a coffee shop with wine to a wine, coffee and tea merchant. 3cups.net<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Grillin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 fish<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the best grilling fish? In The Eater\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s book, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got to be red snapper or its cousin, the vermillion snapper, which stays moist, holds up real nicely on the grill and doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t require one of those fish-shaped grilling contraptions. Tom Robinson recommends them for the grill and usually has a good supply fresh from the coast. Or you can obtain them yourself, as the Barbecue Joint\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Damon Lapas recently did via an overnight foray to the Gulf Stream and back. Judging from the photos he recently shared with us, it was an awesome day on the water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sub deal<\/strong><br \/>\nH-T Deals: Close, cheap, fairly good \u00e2\u20ac\u201d that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the description we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard from regular patrons of the $2.49 sub deals at the Carr Mill Mall Harris-Teeter deli. Each day is a different special \u00e2\u20ac\u201d tuna, toast beef, meat balls, breaded chicken cutlet and so on.

The salad, which also features roasted almonds, isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t on the regular menu, but is a staple of the deli\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s catering menu and they usually have some around. mediterraneandeli.com<\/p>\n<p><em>The Eater tries to keep up on the local cuiscenery.
