We had a nice dinner the other night. We had been saving a '79 Latour for
just such an occasion. I was as wonderful as you might expect. Upon asking
the waiter to decant the wine we had brought, he said "That is a nice
bottle. Let me get you some better glasses." He then returned with some
Reidel glasses. When you BYOB it is usually "tolerated". He decanted the
wine properly and brought us nice glasses. It was well worth the $35 we
paid for corkage. This was in Las Vegas. Restaurants here will let you
BYOB. It is just not something they advertise. We were very impressed not
only with the food, but the service. This was at Craftsteak at the MGM
Grand. We were so impressed with the service we gave him the '89 Pichon
Lalande we brought as a backup.
