You saw him in this lobby in Ghostbusters, speaking of history.

Will Tweet for Wine at Drago Centro
As of this week, the
Drago Centro sommelier's dropping hints on the restaurant's Twitter feed about prime wines
he's got inside the tower. If you guess which one he's talking about, you get to drop by and sample that
