Hey David-Congrats on the mention over at Fermentation, that should help get your site the attention that it clearly deserves.
I think the whole California wine aging thing should have been dispelled in the follow up tastings from ’76-but the most telling thing isn’t the marketing messages espoused by old world wine country-it’s consumer choice. I don’t see why it’s even a conversation anymore, plenty of room in the marketplace for both winemaking styles.
I drank a ’94 and a ’95 Kalin Chard the other night. They were decent. I liked the ’95 a lot more – more fruit and just more going on. It wasn’t Aubert Chard but it also wasn’t overly oaked gross California Chard. Thanks for pointing me to the LA Times article!
