What I have in my cellar is so often superior to what they have. My cellar is not by design for expensive wines to age, as much as for always having something available for any occasion. No restaurant in Washington State should have to over charge for a decent wine. There is no need for them to maintain an expensive cellar (unless they are one of our ‘great’ restaurants), they can buy for the State Stores any day of the week, and have standing orders of very good value wines. In fact the cellar of a moderately high quality restaurant need only have about a week’s supply at any given time.
