Looking through the asset pipeline documentation, I was able to make 
everything
work as expected. Really nice!! However, not for images that we are loading 
using
a variable (i.e., wine.picture) which basically resolves to 
(bold_nine.jpg). First
question, is it possible to use (asset_path) and pass variables?

>From the little bit of searching I found that (asset_path) does not support 
variables,
and we should use (asset_url) instead. My concern is production env and the 
fingerprinting
of images. Some observation:

$('#pic').attr('src', "<%= asset_url('block_nine.jpg')%>") ------correctly 
yields----->  $('#pic').attr('src', 
"/assets/block_nine-b3cebc2ed66a8605caae943eacdd358d.jpg")
$('#pic').attr('src', "<%= asset_url('" + wine.pictures + "')%>") 
---------incorrectly yields-------> $('#pic').attr('src', "/" + wine.
pictures + "")

Error in console:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/block_nine.jpg")

That being said, 

$('#pic').attr('src', "<%= asset_url('assets/" + wine.picture + "')%>"); 
$('#pic').attr('src', "<%= asset_path('assets/" + wine.picture + "')%>"); 

both work in development and production however, I think at that point I am 
serving up the images from
assets and not the web server using the fingerprints as intended.

Your help is greatly appreciate,

Nick.
