Show me the vineyard!

Forget showing an image of the label–now we can see satellite images of the vineyard!

Yesterday I recommended a wine from Mount Eden Vineyards so I decided to look up the vineyard on GoogleMaps. Here’s the link.

The first image that comes up is the road map–ok, kind of ho hum. But click satellite in the top right corner of the map and presto there’s the winery!

Click and drag the map and see the encroachment of residential Silicon Valley to the right. Drag to the left and see the vineyards back along a dusty road.

Cool stuff! I look forward to checking out all my favorite producers.
