A couple of summers ago I went with a group of my MBA classmates to Argentina and Chile under the guise of studying international business relations. In reality it was more along the lines of a research project on precisely which Chilean wine complemented which cut of Argentine beef. (Note: this research project was nearly concluded, however this blog feels that more research must be conducted before a valid thesis can be presented.)
One of the highlights of the trip was the thorough investigation of the Concha Y Toro Winery. While on the cellar tour we were regaled with the story of how the founder of the winery brought back valuable grapes from the Bordeaux region of France. The wines pressed from these grapes were set aside in the cellar for his family in a back section of the cavernous store. Over time he noticed that some of the libation seemed to be disappearing, while at the same time his employees seemed to be smiling more than usual. To combat the shrinkage, he concocted a story that he had seen the devil in the cellar, hence the Casillero del Diablo (Devil's Cellar) wine label.
So this picture was taken in this section of the cellar where the staff have now installed a multimedia sound and light show to entertain the patrons. (Which at this late point of the incessant wine consuming tour even Pauly Shore would be entertaining.) For you photography propeller heads: 0.7 second exposure, f2.8, focal 8.0mm

Mmmm, Casillero del Diablo. My favorite ~$10 bottle of wine.
