by the glass

[Jerry D Mead]

Try letting the owner/manager know how you feel...inquire about corkage policies...buy a single glass to get you through the meal and have that Port when you get home.

Encourage management to have at least a few wines in the price category in which you are comfortable.

I'm fortunate here in Northern Nevada...competition (food prices are low because of all the casinos using food as an attraction, which forces value pricing on even the free-standing restaurants)keeps wine prices in the very reasonable range, save for at the most chi-chi restaurants.
