We are getting married at a B&B near Mystic-great food, lovely garden and grounds, rooms look like a 5 star hotel.
But we just got the contract (after asking for it since April). It turns out that the red wine we picked is going to be $9 a glass for the consumption based bar. They do not offer any other type of bar pricing.
The chef and another staff person told us that we would pay less than the restaurant wine list price but in the contract it is exactly the same price.
They gave us the name of the wine and we bought a few bottles at $18. I expected we would pay a mark up from that but we are already spending a ton to rent the propery plus $75 per person on food not including cake or the brunch the next day.
At 37 days out, we're not sure what to do about this-$9 a glass is crazy but the only cheaper option is "NV" (no vintage) and I can't find it to try it but it is not supposed to be any good.
Is anybody paying this kind of mark up on bottles of wine?
