Hi sadievan,
Also, about the vintage. It is a fact (unfortunate sometimes) that a wine will be GREAT one vintage and not so great the next. The weather plays a huge factor. So...if you really like a wine see if you can google the production. If it's a low production you may want to stock up. See if your retailer provides a discount on a case purchase.
I did not realize that about the vintage. Thanks for the info.
