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.

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.

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

Thank you so much, Gilmour.  Yes, it is wonderful to remember my wife in this way. And to get so many things working together.
