Had the 2007 Copain Syrah there the other night. Fantastic wine. $50-$60 I think.

I am currently working at a restaurant that does something unlike any other place I’ve worked: it is a full-on retail wine shop AND cafe/restaurant, where our exec. chef is CIA-trained and very good, with an avid following here in town. All of the 300+ wines in the retail store can be purchased with dinner, and with no corkage fee. So, you can order an amazing meal, and get a kick-ass bottle of wine to go with, without the usual exhorbitant restaurant mark-up. Oh how the folks love it!

Very cool. I’ll guess that you can’t simply ask him which one it is lol.

Impressive marketing ideas there for any restaurant. I wonder if that is something they could advertise on some level, although with the use on internet on phones their stock might be depleted immediately.

Excellent post that offers yet another reason to frequent Bar Boulud! Bar Boulud has one of our favorite wine lists in the city, as they offer a wide range of excellent wines at a variety of price levels. Thanks for the tip…we will make a trip there this week!

Terrific writeup and a great idea for a by-the-glass program. The wine program we just took over is in El Paso, TX. We are pricing our bottles at retail, and when the wines are consumed on premise we only add the corkage fee. The by-the-glass program is still in the works, but we love what Bar Boulud is doing. Thank you for sharing!

Some great ideas –Bar Boulud adding the excitement of a treasure hunt to their wine list, and the good Doctor giving us insiders the secret pirate’s map to the treasure. I hope this combined effort expands.

I enjoy searching restaurant wine lists for the best “deal”, but it’s both frustrating and intimidating when you’re on the spot (especially when you’re with other diners). That’s why I appreciate restaurants posting their wine list on their web sites to pre-peruse.

A few weeks ago at Gary Danko in SF, I was overjoyed to find Bernard Baudry Chinon listed at only double the retail price. A screaming value at retail (see Eric Asimov’s column this week) it was the LOWEST PRICED wine on their list. I jumped on it and it was delicious! I was one happy bargain-hunter.

I think the large format by the glass and nugget are great ideas.
