Wine of the Week: Argiano Non Confunditur 2009

@OpenTable needs to get its act together. I was texted this morning to confirm a reservation for tomorrow for #Otto in #BrynMawr #PA which I did, but now getting multiple requests to re-confirm.

@LundbeckES @AEMICE_ Yeah, I live that way. I know. I also know the outrageous cost of your @CGRP med @vyeptiHCP, which is the most expensive in its class and is a total failure for me.
