Anyone have some suggestions on good price to quality values on this restaurant's extensive wine list. We like Reds - BIG ones.

They list Romier Bonnes Mares....Sounds suspiciously off.... I never heard of Romier, have anyone? I actually called them to see if by any chance it was Roumier Bonnes Mares. She says it's Romier. 
It's Bonnes Mares we're talking about. How come I never heard or Romier Bonnes Mares? And on top of it, nothing except this restaurant's listing comes up with mighty Google. Very intriguing.

jaydreb-- The markup of these wines isn't outrageous, but you aren't getting any bargains either.
You want Big reds? There are certainly some Shiraz, Cabs and blends that are in that department. Depending on what you're ordering, the Seghesio Zin and the Peter Howland Shiraz look like winners. There isn't alot of wine on this list that I would turn down.

As a restaurant wine buyer, I can say there are many great "restaurant" wine prices on this list. That being said, you should absolutely buy the Clarendon Hills Moritz Syrah (A41)for a huge red wine at a huge bargain (if $72 isn't too much)--and buy a bottle to take home at their wine shop I read about. I'm jealous.
A64, Justin Vineyards Isosceles @ $65 is a good deal.

Look at the Barolo Costamgna 2000, at $59 is a steal,incrdible wine.
This is easy:
2003 Seghesio Home Ranch $39
Not the most complex wine in the world, but it's "big" enough for you and the price is right - heck get two bottles. Order the short ribs or the strip steak with it and you will be in a happy place.

I'm impressed...
