New: Virtual Visits with Google Maps

Google's rolling out a new feature it calls Views in Google Maps, integrating pictures even more into the user experience.

Applying this tool to wineries, it's now possible to preview wineries before you go - or visit ones you've not yet been to.

Frog's Leap winery in Rutherford in Napa Valley is one of the wineries you can see online. Since you have make a reservation to visit this winery, and you can't always get in during the summer, it's nice to have the option to check in and get a glimpse.

See the whole winery section featured on Google here.

I put green boxes around the wineries featured here that have organic or Biodynamic vines in some of their wines.
