No ceiling at all if someone else is picking up the tab! Happens to our friend all the time, but he usually contributes at least a bottle of rare and expensive wine, which he has had cellared. Dinner parties at his house are beyond a sublime experience…
Actually I’ve never been but we will be in Napa in the near future hopefully for a reunion. My bourbon group. One of our members is a vintner and is friends with Thomas Keller so there may be a good chance we might do a group dinner there. Only talk at this time so will see.
Me personally, I would have a hard time dropping a grand on dinner for two but after just hosting a wedding near 2 weeks ago I realize a grand doesn’t buy much any more in the hospitality industry
