We just got off the Edge. We chose not to order any wine in the Retreat Lounge as they seemed to be sticking to those on the Lounge menu. We drank Haslinger’s or cocktails.
In Luminae we just let the Sommelier pick ones that paired with what we were ordering. The majority were good, only rejected 2 or 3 of those offered in 17 nights.
The only time we had a upcharge was the night we ordered Red Condundrum and we were charged $9 total. Interestingly we ordered Red Condundrum 2x in specialty restaurants and did not get charged the extra $.
I don’t bother with the wine list any longer and don’t worry about what the retail price of a bottle is either.
If I like it I drink, if it extra then I’ll pay.
As it relates to upcharges, we were an upscale restaurant last night. Lobster 5oz, with mashed potatoes & veggie $49. Extra lobster $44.
