>I do love it when restaurants allow corkage. I believe it is much more common in California. Although I was stunned by a few restaurants and their high fees. It destroyed the whole concept. A subtle way to keep you buying from the wine list.>No doubt, but those are usually very high end restaraunts with expansive wine lists which have the astronomic corkage fees.
Most normal restaraunts will forgive the corkage fee if you buy a bottle.
Back East there are BYOBs - restaraunts without liquor licenses where you are encouraged to bring your own.
>I'm also liking the relatively new concept of having a wine shop/restaurant. Nearly retail prices, better selection, and moderate corkage fee if you drink it there.>
Me too. Some offer flights of wine - tastes of say three of a type to try out. Discovered some really good wines that way.
In fact I had some Siduri Santa Lucia Highlands pinot noir at a wine shop tasting this week - it was terrific.
>As for your winery tasting limit, do you mean it expands as the day/samples go by?>
Imagine that.
