now that will never happen in BC Canada because all our booze has to be brought through the liquor board. Atleast the restaurants here only mark up 100% and lower % for more expensive wine

The recession isn’t playing tricks on my eyes. It’s crazy to see a restaurant price lower than store price. Next you’re going to tell me that Superman is allergic to the yellow sun.

That is great to know about Bar Boulud, thanks. I still subscribe to the “no more than 100% (fair, honest old-school NYC) retail” mentality with a pass given for grey market bottles. I see so many places where wines are jacked to three times retail that I hardly order wine at a restaurant anymore. I was at Fatty Crab and saw things on the list at 75 that more expensive stores sell for 25. And they were “nerdy” wines, too. Unbelievable.
