I was having a conversation the other day with a friend about the dearth of 
wine spots in North Austin that served *good wine* at reasonable prices.  
At the Taste North Austin event today, many of The Domain spots were 
advertising their happy hours.  So my thought is...collect all the 
happy hour wines, take their price and compare the by the glass price 
with the retail bottle price, how many ounces they pour (so, compute a $/oz)
look at wine ratings, etc...and basically ferret out the best wine deals. Haven't
built anything yet, but hope to build a list with some interesting stats soon!

Share that information with others and who knows maybe have some wine

Poor Man's Deploy

• Start a Sinatra server on port 4000
• GET / to that server triggers a git pull and mod_rails restart
• Hit port 4000 locally after pushing

Why?
