Starting today through Saturday, HBO is sponsoring a promotion for one of their shows where certain restaurants around town will be serving free wine.

According to this article:

But rather than have restaurant servers introduce the product by saying “And our house wine tonight is brought to you by HBO,” consumers will be presented with a polite card at their tables: “A taste of ‘Rome’ awaits you. Ask server for details.”

I haven’t been able to find out which restaurants are serving, other than “If you happen to be dining Italian in New York, Los Angeles or Chicago Jan. 10-13, you may get a glass of consumer marketing to go with your pasta.”

So, the hunt is on, who is serving the free Cabernet (which is not Italian, it’s a California vintage).

Update Eater LA has come through with the list of participating joints.

If anyone gets the “free” wine, let us know how it goes.
