   Is it true that most patrons in a restaurant order the 2nd cheapest wine in the category they’re interested in? Anyway, those prices seem like a real ripoff. Viva la BYO restaurant. Totally.
   QOTD: None.

   QOTD: I don’t think I have ever seen a really good wine list.

   Drives me nuts when they mark up the $12 bottle to $38..

   Best wine list in Northern VA/DC area: The Evening Star in Del Ray.

   They’re connected to the wineshop next door - Planet Wine - so their wine list is the entire selection from the shop. They go next door, pull it off the shelf, mark it up a bit, and serve it.

   Fantastic food as well.

   QOTD: Tasca Wine Bar in Los Angeles has appointed their two head servers as the new wine directors, so they will be overhauling their list thoroughly. I know how enthusiastic and interesting these guys are, so I’d check out what they’re doing over there within the next few months!

   QOTD: I liked the wine list at L’Echaude in Quebec City. Also in Quebec, Portofino had an excellent Italian wine list (amongst others) and was a Wine Spectator Award winner. In Vegas, I recommend the wine list at Aureole in Mandalay Bay.

   QOTD: Sooke Harbor House, Sooke, Vancouver Is. BC. 110 pages, a couple of thousand bottles, almost every country. Great selection of local BC/Okanogan wines. Unbelievable.

   Sad days.. I’ll be staying at the Wynn in November… You would think that they would have a better selection than just the standards.. I’m always bummed to see a bunch of California wines everywhere I go, being that I live in CA!

    The idea of the restaurant wine list review is excellent.
    The camera is bad - really bad. The wine list was never in focus and the movement of the camera makes you very dizzy.

    QOTD: None in the last month.

    The wine list at the Hilton San Diego Resort is awesome! A few standards but the staff will gladly push their off-the-beaten-path wines too. Probably one of the best medium sized wine lists I have seen at a California hotel…

    I’m liking the restaurant reviews a little more, although the camera flipping back & forth is nauseating. I’m surprised a place like that doesn’t have anything German, Austrian, Spanish & French selections. And thank you for calling out the grower champagne shortage!
    I haven’t been dining out much the past couple weeks, but liked the small select list at iCi in Brooklyn, and am in love with teh selections at Elie’s Wine Shop in Royal Oak MI (a must visit store in Michigan if you love French & Spanish wine).

    Good information, was surprized at the level of the wines, would have thought it would be better. Technically, not so good, sound faded, hard to follow. You still rock though.

    QOTD - been a while but am going out for BD next week and will see what they have.

    I really enjoy these restaurant shows. Vegas is especially good as that where I tend to buy the splurge bottles (doubt I’m alone on that).

    Zappos is an amazing company. We have bought 6 or 8 pairs of shoes from them in the last 2 years and they never fair to exceed expectations. Another great example of a great internet retailer.

    QOD Cafe Lucci in Glenview IL.

    Meritage in East Greenwich, RI has quite the selection of old and new world, and quite a few different choices in each category. All in all a good selection.

    QOTD: I just made a wine list for a friend who is opening up a wine bar here in town. It’s nothing enormous but I’m proud of it.

    QOTD: Comme Ca in LA. They were out of a few things I ordered because they’re in the midst of changing the list over - but that’s always a great sign because they’re not just going with the commodity brands that are constantly available. The list was eclectic, representative and well priced.

    QOTD: sadly, haven’t been out many places in the last month so my choices are limited. The Source in DC, which is Wolfgang Puck’s new place would probably be my pick.

    By far the best wine list Ive ever seen and enjoyed is the Angus Barn in Raleigh NC.
    1000’s of bottles.
