A fascinating bit of news via Presurfer today:

Archeologists have unearthed the oldest wine-making facility ever found, using biochemical techniques to identify a dry red vintage made about 6,000 years ago in what is now southern Armenia. Carbon dating showed a desiccated grape vine found near a wine press was grown around 4000 BC.

An exciting find, to be sure. How terrible then, that even though it could be cloned, grown, harvested and bottled, the BCLDB would never let us near it.
