If you buy wine with a meal in Denver you almost *always* pay that
kind of markup. For instance, a $6 bottle of cheap Aussie Shiraz will
be around $20 if your lucky. An $8 bottle of cheap Penfolds will be
$25 at least. That is perfectly standard.

If you can stand the taste, fine, but I like wine and a Martini will
cost you at least $8, the price of a glass of "house" wine. If the
object is to eat drunk, why not have a snort in the car for next to
nothing?

They haven't caught me so far. I'm wily.
