Springwise reports on an upscale wine bar that takes advantage of three hot trends - ubiquitous computing, wine and infolust. Located at the chichi St. Regis Hotel in New York, the Adour has a 4-seat wine bar that goes way beyond cork and zinc. "Computer menus are projected from the ceiling onto the bar, and patrons make their choices by pressing on the bar's surface." Select a wine and "a rosette-shaped image is projected with information about the wine on each of its five petals, including details about the producer and the grapes."
I've gotten into wine over the last few years. And there is an unending lust for info and nuance with each glass. Every time you think you know something, there is more to know. I'm sure quite a few over privileged infolusters will lay out their devalued dollars to try it.
Speaking of wine, my friend Angela Natividad just launched a new wine blog, Soleil en Verre, giving us even more wine info to lust over.
