"I love it and absolutely endorse it, and so do most of my customers who have had a chance to use it," says Brian Kelley, who oversees the Houston III Forks wine program. "I begged to get one here."

This season the food and beverage department has made some exciting strides in the world of technology, not the least of which will be presenting our wine list on Ipads this year. This will allow us to present a whole new level of customer service experience in that you as members will now be able to view tasting notes from the vineyards, pictures of the bottles, food pairings, view information on upcoming special events and so much more.
"She told us a little about the restaurant and handed us an iPad that contained the wine list with detailed descriptions of the full menu.
