You feel me, Ben.
Cheers
I think the beauty here is that you can try a small pour of all 7 wines. Figured $6.50 per taste is a pretty darn good value.

I’ve done a few of these and think they are good value.
For me, I’ll try a very small pour of each and then focus on ones that I like.
Have no idea about other locations, but every time I have done this, they will pour as much as you want, even if it ends up being their “most expensive” offering.

But we must remember also that the Capital Grille is perhaps the least gooderest place for dinner in the whole universe. Please cook yourself a Lean Cuisine microwave dinner and buy a $20 bottle of wine (Copain rose or edmeades zin, both wines I like!) and save $76 on the evening! And you can choose what’s on the TV!!!

Oh come on now. It’s definitely not my favorite steak house…but it’s not even close to the ‘least goodest place for dinner in the whole Universe.’ I find myself eating there probably every few months for client dinners and i always leave perfectly happy. Throw in the Generous Pour with a pretty solid list of wines and this feels like a win/win!

But would you spend your own money to dine there?

I think the rule is you have to consume a generous pour of all 7 wines.

Ha! Fair question! It def would not be my first choice…but i wouldnt be mad about it if my wife wanted to eat there. We actually took our kids there a few months back to introduce them to a nicer restaurant…on our own dime, ha!
You’re welcome.
Totally agree.
Don’t go there on my own dime, but am there occasionally for business dinners, and it is always fine. Just ask them to be sparse on the butter and spicing. And I always find something to drink. A few years back my wife and I would occasionally just pop over to the bar and eat the bar food (especially the seafood) - which I think is better - and they had Prum BTG for like $12. I’m like yea, all day long.

Alfert thinks Miracle Whip is spicy, but is the manliest man. He can even bicycle good.
No. Miracle Whip was introduced in 1933 as the poor person’s mayonnaise. I can’t do poors and pair it with our fine wines. Sigh. I’m out! I concur on your other points.

Thus Miracle Whip is perfect for hardbodies like Alfert, who also uses substitute butter.
I rub it all over my filets
Gotta stay lean mean and elote
I’m glad to have been part of this one descending into a berserker black hole of bodies rubbed with margarine!
I’m also glad to be in a place where I never even consider having a meal at Capital Grille 
. Not on my dime. Not on anyone’s dime! Gloria’s Pupuseria is here for comfort food, telenovelas on five tv screens, and karaoke once those guys drink enough! Try to beat that!
So i cant tell if you’re joking or not. Are you seriously saying that you’d never eat at a Capital Grille?
I think he is serious, not a hill worth dying on though.

That’s a significantly better bottling.
Being a jackass mostly…but it’s also true just by location that It hasn’t been even an option mentioned since 2012.
That’s a funny one. My wife was celebrating her masters graduation so we had a few family members in town. She had booked a table at somewhere decent. Then my little brother decided it should be a joint dinner to celebrate his engagement and brought along an extra eight people. The original restaurant obviously couldn’t accommodate and we ended up getting a table for 18 on Saturday at 830pm at the Capital Grille. Let’s just say my wife wasn’t thrilled with the outcome, but it wasn’t due to the mediocre food!
