Brother Timothy's Corkscrews

Brother Timothy, world reknowned cellar master for the Christian Brothers and pioneer of Napa Valley winemaking, had apparently a love for novelty paraphenalia. This impressive display of some of the near-2000 bottle opening tools from around the world (some dating back the the 18th century) is one of the most fascinating things about the Greystone campus and great for avoiding nerdy conversations before class.


How fabulous are these guys? I love the look on the waiter's face. The heads come off and are the handles of the screws.







Good thing he collected these before the PETA people found out....




OMG! Love the bulldogs!


A rare set of corkscrews belonging to members of the Spanish Inquisition...





It's a fishy! Yay!

Fun stuff. Much more fun that the 'Spice Islands Marketplace', also known as the campus Gift Shop, where you can buy your rubber chef clogs or a sweatshirt to prove to the folks back home that you were...in the gift shop.


More on the campus soon....


Clinkies.
