When I was elected to the Whitefish City Council around the turn of the new century, I remember remarking, somewhat tongue in cheek, after the first budget meeting: “I had always considered myself a ‘tax and spend liberal Democrat’ until I got elected to city council and came to realize I was a ‘fiscally conservative Republican.’”

Like most everything in our world technology has influenced wine from the growing of the grapes to winemaking to how it is served and sold. The lion's share of these changes are positive for the business of wine and for wine consumers, especially the advances in how wine is stored and sold in restaurants.
