What's it sell for in your town?

I strongly agree with Craig on this. I have a friend who loves pinot grigio. I was so put off by the terrible value that Santa Margherita is that it drove me to find some reasonable alternatives. Nothing exceptional, just a solid, affordable "house" pinot grigio for my friend. I ended up with Tiefenbrunner Pinot Grigio at about $9 per bottle when bought by the case (in NYC). There are many equally attractive alternative pinot grigios at much better prices.

It's $17.99 at Wally's in West LA. Much higher, of course, on wine lists.

I wanted to get the wholesale info from one of our wine distributors before I posted. She called this afternoon. (We do not offer it where I work -- too expensive).

Cleveland

-$15.33 wholesale/at cost (Hammer Wines)

-$33.00 to $36.00 "average" restaurant price per bottle ( See Circo/Zibibbo )

It sells for 19.95 Canadian in British Columbia , tax included plus a 10 cent bottle deposit. Reataurants get a very small discount of the retail and typically sell it for 40.00-45.00 dollars.Many restaurants offer a silding scale markup so wines in this category will be marked up higher (as a percentage) than 60.00-100.00 dollar wines.

$19.99 in St. Louis.

No idea what price is on the wine lists around here, though for most places this is a pretty reasonable town.

In today's Washington Post:

Calvert-Woodley (the largest store in the city), $19.99 regular, sale $16.99.

Gotta love that "sell at cost" but we'll make it up on volume !
