pumpkin pie brulee ftw!

The mashed potatoes sound fit for the table! The recipe's almost as rich as Inn at Little Washington's recipe!

Sometimes buying off the wine list is worth it, even considering the markup. Two big reasons for me: Often times I don't know what I want to eat before I get to the restaurant, and of course I'd want a wine to match, so bringing my own wine is not awlays sensible for me. Secondly, there is the possibility you may have a corked wine on your hands. If you bought from the restaurant, you can get a replacement, no worries, no additional cost to you, but if you brought your own, you'd have paid corkage for a wine you're not going to enjoy. Or if you wanted to enjoy something you'd have to buy off their list anyway.
Many restaurants have pride in their wine lists and really take care and effort in storing properly and serving in proper glassware. I would never think of bringing a $15 wine to any of these establishments. These restaurants want to pamper you, so let yourself enjoy the experience instead of trying to save a few bucks.

My favorite flavor combos are:
raspberry/lemon
mint/chocolate
ginger/apple

Either could be filling or cookie!
