RIDICULOUS !

On the other hand, in the "wonderful" state of Arizona you can't even bring a bottle of wine into an eating establishment that has a liquor license ... don't travel all that much to San Francisco but have found in my travels to closer-by San Diego that most restaurants there are MUCH more reasonable than a lot of those mentioned in the Chronicle article ...

Clink !

That's what we've found here as well. Most of the places we go to do have corkage fees but will often quietly waive them if you bring interesting bottles. I get the feeling that they have the policies in place so that they can discourage those who bring in bottles of $5 grocery store wine. If you're bringing in nice bottles of wine, there's a good chance that you're willing to drop some extra $$$ on your food and that you'll come back if they treat you well.

Still, a very interesting articles that offers a number of points of view on the corkage issue.

ALL good points ... especially the one about the "grocery store wine" ... I think, too, that in most restaurants, including the ones I referred to in closer by San Diego, that they are also trying to make sure that you're not bringing in a wine to open that is already on THEIR list ...

Had enough rain ? Hear there's talk of building an ark in your area ...
