Compared to their retail prices these wine list babies are a downright steal.
While every oenophile posits that there’s more to a well-crafted wine list than just price, every cheapskate will say “balls.” Restaurateurs will tell you that you need a minimum 2.5 times markup to make a go of it in this high-tax jurisdiction. But every so often, they throw an outlier on the list for the eagle-eyed sipper (the high-volume chains have the most flexibility here).
