Petrus Wine or a Perfectly Prepared Steak-What’s Your Pick?

You have budgeted $100.00 for a perfectly prepared steak at the new "in" restaurant. After a thirty minute wait you are finally seated and presented with the wine list as well as the menu. You begin perusing the wines by the glass and notice a 2000 Petrus by the glass for $85.00. All of the sudden your body begins to quiver. Petrus, Petrus, Petrus…………..you almost begin to hum. All of your wine life you have dreamed for the opportunity to taste let alone drink a wine of this acclaim.

You reach into your pocket to gently fiddle with that $100.00 bill you brought to cover your entire meal. One glass of wine, a perfectly prepared 8oz. filet, steamed spinach, cup of coffee and the required gratuity for your server. What should you do? Order the glass of wine at the bargain price of $85.00 with a little left for the tip or the meal you had originally intended to enjoy?

All of the sudden you break into a cold sweat. Your head is spinning and you feel so confused. Petrus or filet? If you were in that position what would you do? The wine of a lifetime at an extremely reasonable price or follow through with the meal you had planned on?

In a New York minute I know what I would chose, what about you?

I sure would enjoy hearing what any of you out there would do.

And by the way, how about restaurants and wine bars offering at least one "out of this world wine" by the glass.

Wishing your apron ends up with a lovely Petrus stain.
