There is also a large ice machine, beverage cooler, and a frozen drink blender behind the bar. There are numerous vineyards/wineries in the area, where you can take your wine-loving on the road.
The house has good wifi coverage throughout. However, there is not fiber or cable in the area yet, and our internet connection from the house is LTE-based. This does not have sufficient band-width for full live video, and can be inconsistent, especially with many people on it.
