I can feel frustrated when searching for a few more details on a wine.
I often wonder why some distributors and winemakers don't make details on their wines more widely available. I would like to have easier access to labels, varietals used, a few pictures of the vineyard and basic info such as location and a short history.
The flip side of this hard to find access for some sends me on side trips where I discover interested things and places.
It just happened today with POP a bar a vin-wine bar in Montreal.
Their by the glass selection if short is not the run of the mill type:

Be aware that a good chunk of their selection is made of natural wines…
They knew how to Jazz things up too as their Concert Archive from 2007 shows.
Not sure if it still goes on.
