>I do love it when restaurants allow corkage. I believe it is much more common in California. Although I was stunned by a few restaurants and their high fees. It destroyed the whole concept. A subtle way to keep you buying from the wine list.>No doubt, but those are usually very high end restaraunts with expansive wine lists which have the astronomic corkage fees.
Most normal restaraunts will forgive the corkage fee if you buy a bottle.
Back East there are BYOBs - restaraunts without liquor licenses where you are encouraged to bring your own.
>I'm also liking the relatively new concept of having a wine shop/restaurant. Nearly retail prices, better selection, and moderate corkage fee if you drink it there.>
Me too. Some offer flights of wine - tastes of say three of a type to try out. Discovered some really good wines that way.
In fact I had some Siduri Santa Lucia Highlands pinot noir at a wine shop tasting this week - it was terrific.
>As for your winery tasting limit, do you mean it expands as the day/samples go by?>
Imagine that.

We have quite a few in Houston now. It's fun to see what people will bring. My inclination is to bring something good to special seeing how I'm saving so much on the price.
The "buy ours and have one of yours" hasn't caught on here. Too bad.
Just finished the last of the Siduri SLH. Good stuff. Have to wait until the fall to get my next shipment.
Have you looked into Roessler's yet?
...I've looked at their website and will keep my eye out for the wine. I think we'll be up in Sonoma again this fall so I try to find them.One of my favorite pinot noirs lately has been Chasseur. You can contact them at to be added to their email list:
office@chasseurwines.com
I recently got an email from them highlighting some of their latest releases (WS-erased tasting notes for space):
The fall release of these wines will begin in early August for the fall shipment. You will be notified by e-mail at that time as to what will be available for purchase.

I've heard good things. Next time I'm feeling plush I'll order some.
