More like an industrial area. How about distance to where the grapes were grown (more like 30+ miles)? it's like a winery in Woodinville, WA being 'just a few miles' to Seattle, but the grapes come from Walla Walla a couple Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947624477553194151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210235767643862872.post-17696975825151856182012-08-22T01:02:24.442-07:002012-08-22T01:02:24.442-07:00Not useful at all in my opinion. don't really ...Not useful at all in my opinion. don't really see the point of stating that a winery in Italy is some thousand miles away. Could see the point if the list only featured local wines, but even then, info on the wine itself would be much more usefulDAPZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15863208745641017208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210235767643862872.post-58078022592614822312012-08-21T14:23:06.603-07:002012-08-21T14:23:06.603-07:00Distance from vineyard information seems useful if...Distance from vineyard information seems useful if it fits into the overall philosophy of the restaurant. Naturally most people will not care but hopefully those who do will find it informative and any business that tries to not treat its patrons as idiots is to be commended.

I believe we need a new government agency to regulate these claims, and that every certified restaurant must be able to document that nothing they are serving comes from more than 50 miles away. <br /><br />I also believe John M.

Like in your post from your August 8th article titled "That's Not a Wine List, That's a Price List" we want information about the wines being offered.
