What's in a Year?

What's in a Year? Sometimes nothing and sometimes everything. Believe it or not, there are definitely good and bad years for wine production. Here are some things that factor in when determining the good from the bad:

• Climate – The number one determining factor for good and bad wine years. Wine grapes are delicate creatures and are affected by all types of climactic changes like too much or too little rainfall or unseasonably hot or cool temperatures.
• Wine makers skills – Most vineyards keep their master winemakers on staff on for a long time so skill isn't usually a problem. Mistakes like allowing the wine too much oxygen exposure, can be made however, though not very often.
