[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the comment about it being common place elsewhere is accurate.  In a lot of ways DC is still so podunk and backwards.  When I lived in Manhattan and London it was common.  Not a big deal at all.  Wine is specially chosen for occasions—it is part of having individual taste, being well-traveled and wanting to share your more interesting finds.  Yes, offer a taste to the sommelier, tip correctly, etc.  To the people who say it is trashy—you simply don’t know how much you don’t know.[/quote]

I concur, entirely.  I love d’Yquem and I love particular years more than others.  I have been collecting it for decades and so often bring it with me to places where I like the desserts and they don’t have what I want.  I also bring my DRCs with me when the situation calls for it.  I know what years I like best and I know I have cellared it appropriately.  Most restaurants don’t always have exactly what I want and there is always a significant risk that a bottle was not handled properly at some point, especially if it’s particularly old.  I take care of the restaurant staff well when I do and do not bring my own wine.  [/quote]
