What am I missing?

Went into a restaurant the other night here in Annapolis, MD.  They have a 
very nice wine list, featuring a goodly number of Spanish wines in a range 
of prices.  Obviously, a considerable amount of thought has gone into 
developing the list.

When you're seated at the table, they bring menus but don't bring the wine 
list.  You have to ask for it when the wait(person) comes to the table.  
Now, what possible business reason would any restaurant have - let alone 
one that actually features a decent wine selection - to _not_ give you the 
wine list with the menus?  Is it to force me to have to ask for it for some 
reason?  Is it to encourage me to buy something else? 

It happens frequently - this place isn't unique - so I'm thinking there's 
some deep secret of the restaurant business that I'm not privy to.  Why are 
they hiding things they sell from their customers?
