I do not drink wine (or any other alcohol) so I have no dog in this hunt, but I think that expecting 20% on an expensive bottle of wine is ludicrous. Yes there is a slight bit more work on decanting, pouring slowly, etc., but...

Nice of you to scout ahead of us. I did not mean for you to actually dine there. I think Jim Leff did that already and we can trust the big dog himself. I thought a quick look at the place suffices and maybe pickup a menu if it...
