In truth, I haven't decided yet to promote the mobile-enabled pages. I figured that the first step was simply to accommodate those visiting via iPhone. We're at a bit of a disadvantage in that we don't have a tasting room, so we have to make other arrangements when someone wants to do a tasting. As a result, it doesn't really work well to have people visit on the spur of the moment. Thanks for the comment Mike. In truth, I haven't decided yet to promote the mobile-enabled pages.

I've been subscribed for a while, and you're on <a href="http://www.winerywebsitereport.com/blogs.html" rel="nofollow">my list of winery blogs</a>. I have an iPhone, and last year went tasting in Sonoma County with visiting friends. We were just casually driving around, so I used my iPhone to locate wineries as we went. A Flash-based Web site is unusable, of course. The question, on an iPhone at least, is whether you type "Charnu Winery" into Google, or whether you open up Google Maps and search for "winery" (which does a local search). The answer, of course, is to measure traffic to your mobile-enabled page, and decide what do to based on that. How (besides this post) will you promote your mobile-enabled pages to your customers, visitors, etc.? Thanks for an interesting post.
