Say what you want about Google being an evil corporate overlord that steals all your private data, turns it into info-mulch and then injects it into the technoslaves to keep them drugged up and helpless. There are still some good things about the company despite all that.

Uncommon Groundnew
Centered up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Silicon Valley's wine country is anything but typical. Which is why it's no surprise that it has become well known for its distinctive pinot noir, winemaking's best-known maverick grape.

Toast with a Tripelnew
Tripels often appeal to people who "don’t like beer" as well as die-hard beer fans, because the style is complex and flavorful, and it doesn’t have the hops bitterness or bite that some people find off-putting.
