Hmm.. That's interesting. Never heard of it.

Uh-oh!

Nothing at the moment, but sometimes I come across some great values for stuff that I really like. I got a great bottle from St. Emilion (my favorite region) for $40 last month that was listed on the internet as high as $230. God knows what a restaurant would have marked that up to.
And slightly off-topic, I always ask the restaurant to bring me their
good glasses . Just ask.
Interesting. Ever been rejected?
