Ayyyy I do this a lot if I don’t know the place. I’ve spent a lot of time and effort figuring out what I like and have a collection to match my preferences.

If they have the styles and regions I like I order off menu, if not I got mine. $30 corkage is reasonable for a decent restaurant, I know a dive bar that does $10 and a bunch of us go there for snacks and to bust out bottles to share.

All good bottles should be shared.

So if I’m following you correctly, you bring a bottle to a restaurant and pay them to pull the cork and I guess give you glasses?

  Going to the restaurant you pay the most for the place simply existing in time, space and rent.

  And chill and decant if they’re fancy.
  
  Protip, boxed wine doesn’t have a cork, so they can’t charge you for de-corking it.

    That’s where the little known “goon bag” fee comes in.

  Not always, it’s just a fee for brining your own wine.
