Answer by: Roger C. Bohmrich, MW
It is not possible to give you one universal reply to your question, as the situation varies by state law and individual restaurant.
The simple answer is to call the restaurant in advance to ask them, first, if they will permit you to bring your own wine, and, second, what corkage fee they charge.
