Nancy -
it seems you really want to support a certain restaurant in your area.....the owner/manager should be impressed by your loyalty - I suggest when placing your next reservation , tell the person you would like a visit to your table by the person in charge of the wine program ( this in NOT unreasonable - anyone excited about wine should jump at the chance to meet a like minded individual). When you visit the restaurant , tell this individual what you have been telling us on this board - you make legitimate points.....We restraurant pro's can't get arrogant to the point of becoming deaf to our best customers - we need you. Have your thoughts prepared & tell them how much you enjoy the food, ambiance, etc... you may even find yourself being invited to unadvertised wine tasting events held at this particular establishment..... The pricing issue can & will be debated forever. Having an unbiased level headed regular customer express legitimate concerns is great therapy for ANY successful rest. owner. Give it a shot Nancy, I bet the rewards will suprise you.
