Message: | the whole question of wine by the glass bugs me. i love to find good wines by the glass, but the pricing is often out of this world. i ate lunch at pinot bistro at the library downtown yesterday and the glass of cline zinfandel i had with my roast chicken (blah, mealy, chicken) was almost $9. that's a wine that retails for about $8.50 a bottle. of course, that's a pinot restaurant and you kind of expect to get nailed, but still ... one exception to this that everyone might not know about is phillipe's. yes, the french dip place. they've got a great by-the-glass wine list at really good prices. they almost always have silver oak cab at about $10, it seems to me. |
