No idea whether this is a legitmate post or not (no doubt the moderators will fix that), but I thought my AB friends might be interested in a somewhat off-beat use of AP.... My observatory sits in the middle of a 2ha vineyard, in one of the world's leading Pinot Noir regions [Central Otago, NZ]. Each vintage the labels are inspired by my AP [this year is the Dragon Release] and the wine is sold to raise funds to support the application n to DarkSky International for Dark Sky Park status in our region. My goal here is to celebrate both the Terroir and the Ciel Noir as a holistic approach to a sustainable environment. [The name Antimony is not only inspired by the local geography, but it is also the initials of my dearly-missed late wife, Shona]   |

| As a lover of AF and wines I think it is an awesome idea! I would be interested to maybe purchase some bottles if the shipping costs to Europe are not too much expensive: Good luck! |

Thanks so much. Doing quite a small run of this wine, so I imagine it will sell out locally. But there is always next year. CS Brian |

Brian Boyle: Just a thought, maybe crazy, but the vineyard might print limited printings of the labels and/or collectable book of the labels as they accumulate over the years. |

Alan Brunelle:Brian Boyle: Great idea, Alan. If this first year is successful we can use the sales as a sustainable revenue stream for the Dark Sky Park management costs Great idea, Alan.
