David, thank you for creating AND keeping the NYC BYOB map up to date!
Estela $85/bottle 47 E Houston. Food is scrumptious! Loved the celery salad…
Four Twenty Five $100 /bottle 425 Park Ave. New-ish Jean-George. Lovely dining room.. menu overlap and corkage similar to Nougatine …
Had an outstanding meal at Yong Chuan. I emailed prior and pre-negotiated $100 flat for 6 bottles. They happily provided 2 (real) glasses per person. Didn’t inquire about dump buckets.
Unsurprisingly, I suppose, the Clos de Goisses '04 and Marcel Deiss Schlossberg '16 paired incredibly well, while the Clape Saint Peray and Paolo Bea Santa Chiara couldn’t quite hold up and felt kinda flat.
I plan to go back here regularly.
ABC Kitchen by Jean George - $55 per bottle, 2 max. Great food and casual atmosphere. Subpar service.
Had a great meal at Misi in Williamsburg. $45 per
The wine service around that fee was top notch, even recognizing the option of me pouring as we need after the first 'top-off; was attempted. Better glasses, asked about decant of the older Barolo and sincere insight into helping serve these wines at their best.
Menu looks great! Thanks for posting your experience.
Surprisingly, Buvette had a $50 corkage charge and were quite friendly about it. I rarely go for dinner but was a nice option for my needs.
