Unfortunate to me, maybe not to others buy it appears Scalini Fedeli is getting a liquor license. I called to secure some coveted holiday reservations this afternoon and was informed they will most likely have the license by than. We usually go at least once a month but havent been in a while do to house moving and were quite surprised by the news. I'm afraid we wont be able to make it there quite as often with the added cost of booze on the bill. This won't stop us from going entirely just not as much as we'd like. Anyway, just thought I'd let the others know about this news. Maybe Rosie can confirm the date when they will be getting it.

The restaurant may still permit patrons to BYO but with a corkage fee. Would likely still be less expensive than ordering off a wine list.

As of yesterday 9/30/02 Scalini Fedeli has a liquor license. However, they are not set up yet to serve wine. Once they do start serving liquor/wine there will be a corkage charge. The price has not been determined as of today.

When I was there last Thursday, our waiter Miguel told us that they were getting their license on 10/1 - today. He thought that the corkage fee would be $15.00. I consider the food there exceptional, which to me deserves a great bottle of wine. We brought a '96 Tenuta dell Ornellani Bolgheri. If they were changing a corkage fee, it would still be a bargain versus purchasing a comparable wine.

Thanks for the info. 15.00 seems reasonable enough for a corkage fee. They are probably wary of causing any disturbances with their loyal diners.

for me, this wouldn't be a transparent change. i drink wines that are generally offered on lists, and if they are offered on the list, i obviously wouldn't bring them. the corkage fee is wonderful for those bring unique wines, but for the average joe, my bill just doubled. :sad:
