Vintage Chart
http://somedamngoodwine.com/vintage-chart
Some Damn Good Wine. There’s two different schools of thought when it comes to a vintage chart. 1: Some live by it. 2: While on the flip-side others say you just can’t possibly generalize on a broad stroke what’s in the bottle. Personally, I use a vintage chart as just. As to what vintages to look for because what I may know about the weather and its affects on the terroir for that year is a good clue of what to expect out of that bottle. So use it as a starting point. Enjoy! The Day’s Fun Wine Fact.
