this was my point....no one bothered to explain what wine pairings they offer for the tasting menu....since my wife doesn't drink...I would've preferred to have a single glass of wine per dish...to best match the food.
but it was never offered....
ended up ordering a bottle of red wine for the entire meal...and that didn't pair well with the first half of the tasting menu.
