My wife was recently in Los Angeles for a conference and met my brother one
night for dinner at the Enterprise Fish Company. They had a chardonnay for
dinner and to keep the wine "chilled", the restaurant put a metal rod about
1/2 inch in diameter in the bottle (it extended the full length of the
bottle). It was capped by a metal "spout" about an inch in length that
could be turned (counter) clockwise to open/close the spout to pour the
wine.

I was wondering if anyone any info on this?!

P.S. My wife had the '04 Markham Chardonnay at dinner. She is definitely
learning, as she told me that she noticed that the chard that was being
served at a function at the conference was complete "scheiße". Now she
knows why I don't buy the "cheap" wine, that in some cases, it is worth
splurging a bit on wine.
