re: You can bring wine to a restaurant?

Three restaurants in BR i know for sure will let you bring a bottle of wine are Ninos, Ruffinos, and Ruth’s. We always bring a bottle, but nothing on their wine list. Also, we usually have cocktails while we look at the menu. Sometimes we get a corkage fee at Ruffinos but not the other places. I never complain about it. Also, i usually share a taste with the waiter or sommelier.
