There is an ongoing debate going on between me and my friends. At Faire Gallery Cafe we give a real nice pour of wine. We actually give a better pour than most restaurants. While customers love it, most don't expect it. So how much wine is too little? I went out to dinner with my brother yesterday to fusion Mexican restaurant in University Village. I ordered the $7.50 glass of Tempranillo. This was by the way the most affordable glass of red and I am rarely disappointed with Tempranillos. Well, my glass arrives and low and behold I was searching for the wine! It was the worst pour of my life! The problem is more difficult than a chintzy pour. The wine was $7.50 a glass and in these recession times buying glass after glass really adds up. They gave me so little wine I felt like I needed another glass, but didn't think it was worth the price. So, which is better? A more affordable glass pour where your customers feel comfortable buying more wine, or a higher price per glass but a decent/respectable glass pour? Let me know.
