Search restaurant wine lists: what I want for Christmas

We have various online search tools for finding wine in stores. What I would like to see: a similar tool that searches restaurant wine lists.
Some wines are limited production and implement a sales strategy of either direct sales to a mailing list, on allocation through stores, or to restaurants. The first two options can be difficult or impossible to track down. Thus my interest in a new search tool for restos. Heck, I might even be willing to pay restaurant markups for the wine, once found!
Odds of this actually happening: 4,000 - 1.

I guess the assertion above is as scientific as the global warming projections that seem to preoccupy you a lot of late

Restaurant Wine Searcher would be a great invention! It would also be very interesting to do a price comparison between restaurants. I’m guessing there are huge discrepancies.
