My anniversary is 1986 and I have some 1986 Bordeaux in the basement that I like to pull out once or twice a year. I decided on a restaurant this year (Groupon helped me decide) and I asked about bringing my own wine and they said it was a $22 corkage fee.

I think I have paid $10 corkage before but was kind shocked by $22. On the other hand, if we pay for a couple of glasses of wine I could be up to $22 quite easily. I'm actually kind of okay with the corkage fee after getting over the initial shock.

Is $22 a bit much?
