Near the White House, The Oval Room has introduced a BYO Wine Night on Saturday, waiving the corkage fee. |
Reluctant to rub the politico's son the wrong way, the management allowed him to use the bar without charging corkage. |
But ask about corkage fees and make sure they will provide glasses, coolers and a suitable storage area for advance deliveries. |
The drink list is minimal, but you can bring your own wine and there is no corkage charge. |
Hotels charge corkage for opening and serving the wine which invariably means it costs the same as the house wine. |
Most will permit patrons to bring their own wine upon payment of a corkage fee, if the request is made in appropriate fashion. |
