YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
Manny’s Steakhouse no longer waives corkage, but rather charges $25. Turns out their “no corkage” thing was a promotion.
A real shame, especially since they should be making quite the profit margin on the food — the steaks average about $45 these days.
Thirty years ago at a trattoria on the isle of Capri, Bill Ward had a lusty homemade red that rocked his world. Ever since this "so that's what wine's all about" moment, he has been seeking similar experiences, always aiming to approach wine with an innocent eye (and nose, and palate).
