calberry Posted July 10 #1 Share Posted July 10 If we purchase either the Plus or Premier packages, while dining are we restricted to ordering glasses of wine from the dining room menu, or can we also order wine from the menu at Vines?

boone2 Posted July 10 #2 Share Posted July 10 We’ve always done this as we often prefer the selection vines. Our waiter has always been glad to go for it for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaCruzers Posted July 11 #4 Share Posted July 11 While this is possible, it's also possible to stop by Vines and pick up a glass, even a double pour if you think you may want a couple glasses during dinner, on your way to the dining room. I suspect if you are in the dining room closest to Vines, there may be greater willingness to fetch wine from Vines. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always choose a dining room in close proximity to Vines or Crooners and get a glass (or double) before going to dinner. I want to save my favors from the waiters, they have enough to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it sounds like being close to Vines might be an asset if dinners (4 top in our case) turn into 2 hour marathons. Sitting at the dinner table with an empty wine glass in front of me is a red flag! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually order bottles at dinner so no problem with top offs. If you have a package you get a 25% discount. Much better wines and huge list much better then even wines by the glass at Vines Edited July 11 by memoak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For dinner we often want an old vine Zin or other one off wines. We get the package for cocktails mostly and have wine with dinner or late night casino time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have ever been able to do that in restaurants at home ? Most restaurants have a by the glass selection and a by the bottle selection. They really do not want tons of bottles open back in the galley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
