Customer Stunned After Spending $3,750 For Wine Bottle
A $3,750 bottle of wine is what one customer ordered at Bobby Flay Steak at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, but he still has to pay the dispute.
What happened next was the sticker shock when he received the bill, according to The Inquisitr . Joe Lentini said he isnt a big drinker and hell maybe drink a glass of the grapes once a month. Hell probably think twice about drinking that again after he and two others of his party of 10 share a bottle.
I asked the waitress if she could recommend something decent because I dont have experience with wine She pointed to a bottle on the menu. I didnt have my glasses. I asked how much and she said, Thirty-seven fifty.'
The drinkers at the table agreed to the price and they ordered. Soon, the waitress from Bobby Flay Steak popped the cork and presented it at the table. Lentini was having conversation with his companions and didnt really pay attention, but he approved of the bottle. A taste was served for him to sample. He approved and the $3,750 bottle was placed on the table.
It was okay. It was good It wasnt great. It wasnt terrible. It was fine.
When dinner was over, the check was handed to the host, who was sitting opposite Lentini at the round table. On it was the bottle they purchased.
[The host] was sitting across from me and he handed the bill to person next to him, who handed it to the next person until it got to me I showed the gentleman next to me and we were shocked. We couldnt believe it.
The total bill was $4,700.61, including tax and a $3,750 bottle of wine. Lentini thought the price was $37.50. He then called the waitress over and said there was a problem. He explained that he never would have ordered such an expensive bottle of wine, and repeated that when he asked about the price, the waitress said thirty-seven fifty, not three-thousand, seven-hundred-and-fifty.

Really, shame on the waitress.
I agree. If you can find it in the 1.5L bottle you can get even better deals. This is one of my standby wines - 1.5L bottle goes for about $13, and I doubt I could differentiate it from an expensive bottle of pinot noir in a taste test.
