I'll Take The Wine To Go - Claggett, Sykes & Garza

As I wrap up 2008, here at A Connecticut Law Blog, it’s time for a look back on the year that was.

Here’s a post that you may be able to put to good use during the holiday season:

Have you ever ordered a bottle of wine in a restaurant, enjoyed it, but did not finish it with your meal?

I'll Take The Wine To Go

In Connecticut, you can ask your server to put more than just your meal in your “doggie bag.” By statute a restaurant patron is allowed to remove one unsealed bottle of wine for off-premises consumption so long as the patron has purchased the wine with a full course meal and has consumed part of the meal.

Here is the statute, complete with the definition of a full course meal (you’ll see that chex mix in a bar does not count):

A restaurant patron shall be allowed to remove one unsealed bottle of wine for off-premises consumption provided the patron has purchased such bottle of wine at such restaurant and has purchased a full course meal at such restaurant and consumed a portion of the bottle of wine with such meal on such restaurant premises. For the purposes of this section, “full course meal” means a diversified selection of food which ordinarily cannot be consumed without the use of tableware and which cannot be conveniently consumed while standing or walking. Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 30-22

Cheers!

This is great firm Alexa worked with me and explained terms as well as answers any questions I had honestly and quick response time. This is a caring firm that wants their clients to get well and be informed. I knew they were different when I received this book. And I haven’t read a book in a while so when a book of gratitude came in I instantly read a page a day. It’s a great reminder to help me stay grounded being grateful

Even if they don't take the case, they will listen to your story and direct you from there. I was offered solid advice and pointed in the right direction of people who can help. That alone is good service!

Always friendly and professional! There’s an app where you can send your documents, messages and check case status which was convenient. Happy with how my case was handled and the outcome. 10/10 would recommend!

I had an excellent experience with this law firm. Being involved in a car accident with a severe injury was frightening, especially since I had no idea how the legal process worked. However, my attorney and paralegal made me feel completely at ease, explaining everything clearly and ensuring my voice was heard and valued. I truly don't know how I would have navigated this without Attorney Fitzsimmons and Katelynn. These past two years have been a challenge, but I’m grateful the journey is finally coming to an end.

My case is still in progress but I feel I'm in good hands with this dedicated group of attorneys. I've enjoyed working with Attny Melissa Mateuse while setting up my case and have recently been moved to a litigation specialist, Attny. Andrew Ranks.
