On 5-18 (that’s today) at 5:18 p.m. P.F. Chang restaurants throughout the country — except in Utah and a few other tee-totalling states — will give away complimentary glasses of their new Vineyard 518 wine.
Utah diners don’t get to participate in the national launch, thanks to a state law that forbids giving away booze. But Utah drinkers should be able to buy the wine for $7 a glass.
The national restaurant chain worked with Wattle Creek Winery, a family-owned estate, in Mendocino, to create the new label that initially includes a Sauvignon Blanc and a Syrah blend. The wines come in 10-liter recyclable containers.
What’s the significance of 518? In Chinese numerology the number means “I will prosper.”

You failed to mention that Wattle Creek is owned by Paul Flemings, hence the p.f.
