Apparently, basil can survive the winter (or at least, what winter we have had so far this year) if kept in a greenhouse or indoors.
The only trouble with the greenhouse strategy, it would appear, is that pests become more of a problem. Something has been nibbling at mine quite enthusiastically. When I had it outside in the summer and fall, it has almost no pest problems at all. There is still plenty left for us to eat, however.
