I think so. The restaurant was willing to make the sale.
As others have mentioned, the restaurant may have bought this wine for
considerably cheaper, and might have a policy of not raising prices
based on current market price. Or more likely, they didn't notice.
I don't point out store errors that are in my favor. I figure that
makes up for the times I get overcharged, and it's a wash.
