Anyone out there ever deal with Corfini or Borrachinni? I'm working on improving the menu and concept at a small wine bar here in Seattle and I'm looking to set up accounts. The problem is that we're a pretty small operation at this point, and I've only got experience with super high volume here in Seattle. Any help would be really appreciated.
