Wine, women and restaurants

[n144mann]

Oh Anna, this happens to me ALL the time...in fact, we discussed this on here back in May I think it was. I can request the wine list...order the wine....and still when they bring it, it is usually given to the man I am with. I usually don't fuss....if it is my husband I am with, he will simply hand me the cork and that often tips off the waitstaff that I am the one making the decision, but not always. It seems to be just one of the sexist things that we have to live with. I have grown used to it. What you will see in better restaurants, with better trained staff is that they will lay the cork on the table between the two of you...then whoever picks up the cork, gets the wine tasting duty also.
