Spezie, the downtown Italian spot that closed earlier this year, obviously didn’t have too many waiters with sticky fingers. I’ve always wondered what happens to all the leftovers when a restaurant closes down, and in this case, I guess they go to auction. All their wines are for sale by online auction right now, and there are deals to be had. I spotted bottles of 2006 Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon for $20, and even some bottles for less than $.50. That’s even better than Trader Joe’s prices. Check in early and often, bidding ends on August 23rd.
