Geocache Description:


***** Above coordinates are for proximity only. *****

Boonesfarm Apple at $ 1.09 per bottle was my choice thirty-eight years ago. But with maturity comes wisdom…
and a more cultivated, discriminating taste…
Halleujah !
While by no means a sommelier, I’ve dedicated this cache to the more satisfying bouquets and
aftertastes of the products of the vine.
It is ‘seeded’ with the following 'stoppers'.

  • Concho Toro Merlot
  • Louis Jadot Beaujolais
  • Crane Lake Merlot
  • Yellow Tail Shiraz
  • Turning Leaf White Zinfandal
  • Sutter Home Chardonnay

In 1985, Christie's Auction House sold a single bottle of wine for $ 160,000.
WHAT YEAR was this regular sized bottle corked ?
Add the digits of the year to each other ( 2+0+0+7= )and then ADD that sum to N 42 02 .793
in the form .XX0.

Screaming Eagle cabernet holds the distinction of being the MOST EXPENSIVE wine EVER sold
at a charity auction (2002).
This particular vintage normally sells for less than $ 2,000 - but the high bid was well over that.
Find the vintage (yr.) of that wine and ADD it's digits together.
The sum shall be subtracted from W 84 18 .303 in the form of .XX0 to place you at the cache site.

Seek safe parking NORTH of the final coordinates.


Very amiable 'DAVE' within adjacent structure...and he KNOWS what's up. You wont regret exploring the 'possibilities' within.
