The Cabernet at a restaurant we are going to in Reno start at $36 a bottle and we thought of bringing a cab we like instead. Thought $15 was a bit steep.

Probably better than paying the 300% mark-up the restrauant charges for their wine.

Many places handle BYOB differently. Some won't charge at all. For those charging corkage fees, $15 isn't bad. You're in Reno, so nothing is going to be cheap. Personally, I think they should cork it and pour for maybe $5, but they probably don't really care about my OP.

Here in CA, $15 is right at normal. Depending on what day of the week you go, corkage may be waived. There's always corkage fees on weekends. Did you mention a special occasion when you booked your reservation? Sometimes that can get corkage waived.

I might find another restaurant to dine in. Corkage fees vary but I have seen restaurants charge between $15 - $20 to pour your own bottle of wine. Find another restaurant that offers a full bottle of wine for less money. They do exist. Drive carefully!

nope that's about the going price very average, most restaurants frown upon you bringing your own bottle(s) in because it takes away the sale from the restaurant.

Comparatively, no... come to the Bay Area, there are places that will charge up to $50 to open someone else's bottle. It's dumb.
