94 Bodegas Monticello Gran Reserva

With any restaurant, you are paying (wholesale)for the entire bottle when you order a glass. The margins on wines are ridiculous. I know I pay about 11 or 12 dollars for a kendall jackson chardonay at Sam's. When you go to a restaurant, you pay 7-8 dollars for a glass, so you figure the restaurant is paying that much for the bottle. What a racket. I rarely drink wine when we go out because it is too expensive. I would rather grill out or make some nice dish along with a nice bottle.
Just a side note, my wife and I learned recently that she is pregnant, which is good. The only bad thing is that we plan on moving to europe soon and have a few bottles of wine still. I guess we can take them along except for the White Star Champagne sitting in the fridge. I don't think you can take it out of the fridge and expect it to taste good. Let me know if I am mistaken. Thanks.
