That's really quite cute, from the messages on the screen ("insufficient oakiness" anyone?) to the winery's name, to the vineyard location.

Check out the location of the vineyard on the bottle! :roll: .... and they do exist up that way, I believe! :shock:

Great device, Howie, how does one get one? :lol:
Cheers,

I'm just happy that Global Warming really IS a myth! That 2016 Cabernet only had 13,5% alc. Whew!
