ORIGINAL: grafstrb How weird, and -- quite frankly, déclassé -- of a restaurant, particularly a Michelin-starred restaurant. To be clear, I "get it," but it's still lands wrong for me. ... maybe I'm reading this wrong ... have you been to a restaurant with this pricing model? My interpretation was that he didn't go to a single restaurant that had three pricing options for their wine list, but rather he had been to multiple restaurants and observed the differing pricing models that seemed to correlate with the stemware. Restaurant A had the 3x Retail + Zalto combo, Restaurant B had 2x Retail + Riedel, etc. But maybe I'm reading it wrong. What I actually have seen in the past was an option to pay an upcharge to use nicer stems, where the wine price was the same, but you could pay, for example, $5/person to have better stemware. Thanks for this clarification ... the more I thought about it, the more I thought this, in fact, may have been the situation. Now that I understand, my vote would be for the Riedel and 2x retail, assuming the wines on the lists are of similar quality and interest to me.
