Can you take home bottles of wine at Bern's??

I am visiting Bern's in a few weeks, and have been amazed at the older vintage wines they have at reasonable prices. Does anyone know if you are allowed to purchase wines "to-go" after a meal? I wouldn't mind taking home half a dozen or so.....

Anything you buy at the restaurant must be opened, but you can take home leftovers. They recork the bottle and put it in a sealed plastic bag, as I recall. But if you want half a dozen bottles, contact the wine shop sunshine links to, it's about a block down Howard from Bern's, attached to Sidebern's.

What you say is spot on, however, the wines one generally wants are not for sale at their wine store. The store sells new vintages usually. On occasion l have asked one of the sommeliers if they could make a specific wine available so l could order through the wine store and not have been successful yet.

Also correct, especially when it comes to the rarer and older vintages. Just go to Bern's a half-a-dozen times and order one of those beauties each time...I can think of a worse solution!

No. And so many can't be found elsewhere. Ya gotta drink 'em there. Which is not a bad thing..
