Once again, the Northwest wine expert hands out some useful advice, and it comes right in time for the holiday season. Check it out.
Food & wine | Avoid the pitfalls when ordering restaurant wine | Seattle Times Newspaper

Take the time to double check the wine brought to your table. Is it what you really ordered? And don’t be afraid to ask for a second opinion if you think something might be wrong with your ordered wine. But when you’re thinking about taking in your own bottle to a restaurant, please be courteous and don’t bring something that the establishment offers.

If I were to add anything to Gregutt’s article - although it is implied - regardless of the situation, please be gracious. With these hints for the holiday season coupled with a warm spirit, we can make this a holiday season to remember.
