Hi all
I just found out about your board recently, and hope to be an active participant once I get time to breathe. However, I would love to address any questions you might have about the restaurant.
As to the main question at hand, our wine pricing, here is our policy. For any current vintage wine available from the distributor, we will charge retail plus $10.00 a bottle. Once we start aging wines for our reserve list, we will charge to reflect the cost of holding the wine well past the time its available from the distributor. So far, with over 200 wines on our reserve list, the only exception to the $10.00 rule is Dal Forno Romano Valpolicella. I have 6 bottles of this wine and it is no longer available from the distriubtor (and has not been since September of last year). Everything else I have so far is retail plus $10.00.
While we open July 6, the reserve list will roll out July 13. We want to have time to get things organized before rolling out the first 200 selection or so on the reserve list. Our "everyday" list will consist of 95 wines so you won't have to go thirsty!
Hope this clears up the question.
