Another article I found interesting regarding technology and wine. I still can't stand twitter, but if only I had a smart phone, I would probably be using apps to select wine at the grocery store while buying dinner. :)

Hey everyone, I figured I might update people as to the progression of my wine closet that I wrote an article about here.  When I wrote the article me and my dad had just finished building it in an extra closet I had at my place (again thanks Dad).  The whole thing was pretty simple then with a board and trim going accross to make a counter top (a surprisingly sturdy one at that) along with a few store bought wodden wine racks.

Somewhere around 300 years before California was even a state and long before Plymouth Colony, America saw its first recorded wines being made. Named after the lush fruits and flora that overran the area at the time, Florida seemed like the perfect place to the settlers at that time to attempt to make wine. These wines, made from native Muscadine grapes, were produced in inconspicuous French and Spanish colonies and marked an historic point in American wine history.
