We had our first CuIAm (!) meal a month back, at their lowest-level
restaurant (St. Andrew's cafe). Nice selection of wines by the glass,
very reasonable prices, and I echo Dale's comments on both the staff
and (most of) the food; but we sent back both of our initial glasses
too. No problems on replacement - other than increased anxiety for
the poor server - but I wonder whether there's some possible cause in
their storage??

It's only about an hour south from us, so we'll likely go back; fun
place to visit.
