Vintage Chart

This vintage chart is based on reports from a wide variety of published sources, and by lots of wine tasting .Various wine-producing regions are ranked on a scale of 0-10, 10 being the best. Each year the chart is reviewed and modified appropriately based on further experience. Numbers changed from last year are shown in bold type. Of course any Vintage Chart is debatable. In addition to disagreements about the merits of a given year, individual wineries can produce wines well above or below the average for the year, depending on the skill of the winemaker, the microclimate of the vineyard, terroir , weather conditions and many other intangibles . We hope you will find this Chart interesting and useful.
