Alex Johnson Hotel Debuts High Tech In New Sky High Venue South Dakota Landmark and Leader in Luxury Accommodations Adds WineStation

CAMPBELL, CA, February 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) The 8-bottle WineStation system located in both the Vertex and Paddy O'Neil's restaurant will allow guests to sample high end varietals seldom poured by the glass, in the pristine and temperature controlled environment that the wine maker intended.

The WineStation provides guests the ability to experience a range of featured wines in taste (1 oz), half (3 oz) or full glass (6 oz) options. Unique and high end wines such as a 2006 Dunham Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2006 Silver Oak Alexander Valley, are now available by the glass.

"Our guests are growing more and more discerning about their wines and requesting unique and high-end wines to try by the glass," said Jim Fahey, Director of Food & Beverage. "We needed the most effective, intelligent wine preservation system that would allow us to provide the smartest glass of wine every time." Fahey continues, "If our guests have discerning palates or are just beginning to develop their appreciation for fine wines, the WineStation will let them explore a wide variety of new and unique tastes."

As guests cut back on ordering bottles, wines by the glass across the country are catching up to bottle sales because a glass provides the restaurant guest with more opportunity to explore higher priced wines, or indulge in small doses. For the Alex Johnson Hotel, it is an opportunity to manage inventories while reducing waste.

"A robust wine by the glass list can help restaurants increase revenue by allowing the consumer to taste a higher priced wine that might be cost prohibitive by the bottle," said Nick Moezidis, VP of Sales for Napa Technology. "A wine preservation system like the WineStation is imperative for any property that wants to have a competitive and cost effective wine program."

Napa Technology, LLC is a designer and manufacturer of Intelligent Dispensing Solutions for wine that ensures optimum freshness with each pour. The company's breakthrough product, WineStation , is designed to drive revenues and maximize the profitability of each bottle. WineStation has been adopted by hospitality, entertainment and foodservice industries as a new way to serve, preserve and capitalize on the value of available customer preference data.
