This is one of those issues I hear come up on occasion. According to the Liquor Board - 4 oz of wine is a full serving. That would mean you get about six glasses of wine out of a bottle. Not sure if anyone actually follows this rule, not even in Utah according to Jenna May. She does admit that it is $2 a bottle wine for $6 a glass - appropriately named Mamma Libby. We avoid these types of wines and stick with a quality product we can be proud to serve. Our pours are free poured table side to about 5.5 oz and I admit the servers tend to be a bit on the heavy side. If we were to fill our Cab/Merlot glasses to the brim they would hold nearly a full bottle at 20 oz. When you pour a bottle selection at the table more room is better to allow the wine to develop in the glass. We recommend no more then 3 oz pour in this situation and continue to fill the glass to maintain that level. If the glass is heavy, it is too full. Also, if you have no room to swirl the wine it is too full. Yes, we could us smaller cheaper glassware like Mamma Libby to make the perception that you are getting more wine, but we want to present the great wine the way it was meant to be. To do that, means buying proper glasses big enough to allow the wine the room it needs, so it can be the best it can be.

Enjoy!

Want more wine? Order another glass, or just get a bottle all to yourself. You can always take it home.
