In response to whether I bring my own wine to a restaurant: absolutely right, I do. I admit it, I'm a wine snob and I know what I like. I'm not going to risk a special occasion, like eating a meal with my wife, to a wine I know nothing about. I'll try wines at home, but for special occasions, like a cruise, I want to know that the wine I'm pairing with my meal is the right wine. Bringing wine with us for our meals on the cruise ensures that it is the right wine. It has nothing to do with cost or the desire to get snockered. 'Nuff said.
