BOURGOGNE CHARDONNAY -

LOUIS LATOUR

Wafting aromas of yellow plum lead to silky flavours of fresh cantaloupe and lemon layered with vanilla, cream and nuts. This classic regional wine is beautifully balanced, judiciously oaked and charming.

"...a computer as a research and communication instrument could enhance retrieval, obsolesce mass library organization, retrieve the individual's encyclopedic function and flip into a private line to speedily tailored data of a saleable kind."
— Marshall McLuhan, 1962

"I've been uplinked and downloaded, I've been inputted and outsourced. I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I'm a high-tech lowlife...and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond... so I'm interactive, I'm hyperactive and from time to time I'm radioactive "
— George Carlin, 2004
