wine service!

[Rantz]

Here's the thing... Bottle Service when you work in a restaurant can be a mofo. Scraping the wax/whatever off of the bottle and then having to uncork the bottle at the table and pour a "sample glass" for each person so that they can try it & make sure it tastes ok... It can be time consuming. And then if the guests decide they don't like it (I've never had that happen, so I don't know the protocol for it)..

From what I've understood, that's only to make sure the wine isn't damaged by a bad cork or otherwise off, not to make sure the guest likes it. Of course, many restaurants would probably bring out a new wine regardless, if you were bold enough to ask for it.

Wine is my life elixir and in most cases my drink of choice.
