Newcomers to Morton's steakhouse in Tysons Corner, Va., might do a double take when they see a wine locker reserved for Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. After all, most practicing members of the LDS Church consume no alcohol, tobacco, coffee or tea.

When the restaurant opened 16 years ago, board chairman Allen Bernstein gave Hatch one of the free storage spaces — a perk for VIP customers to keep their personal wine collections.

Those bottles in the senator's locker that look like champagne? Martinelli's nonalcoholic sparkling cider, says press secretary Peter Carr. Hatch and his wife, who live nearby in Vienna, drop by the restaurant four to six times a year.
