$60 corkage fee!? That is not good news for winos? That is bad news for business. Obviously their business is not doing very well to have to waive a corkage of that outrageous proportion. Sorry, I am over-my-head with disappointment that restauranteurs would charge so much. And people wonder why diners list sommeliers and restaurant wine lists in surveys as "intimidating and unapproachable," because some like to keep their customers at arm's length. Grazie mille, mpare. Ci vediamo... mai.

Does anyone know how much is a standard corkage fee at a restaurant like Alto? I am a neophyte when it comes to that. Thanks.
