+--- Thread: Vintage question (/thread-17376.html)
- June - 03-03-2003
I was scanning the award winning wines at the Jerry D. Mead New World Internation Wine Competition and found a wine I thought I would like to try.
However, I am wondering about the vintage. In the category Sparkling Wines, Residual Sugar: 0 - 0.5%, Over $22.01, it lists Mumm Cuvee Napa, DVX, California two times. There is no vintage listed, but I think there should be a vintage. It does not say that it is non-vintage.
I looked (probably not carefully enough!) to see if I could contact the site to ask this question, but to no avail. So, I post two questions to any who can answer.
1) Do you know how I can contact that site;
2) How can I determine what, if any vintage is associated with these two wines?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Our Cuvees
Over two decades ago, Guy Devaux came to the US from the Champagne region of France, charged with finding the ideal climates and soils to produce great sparkling wine in the méthode champenoise tradition. After four years of intense study, Guy chose the ideal conditions of Napa Valley for the home of these great new wines: Mumm Cuvée Napa.
Mumm Cuvée Napa draws from the rich heritage of Champagne Mumm while integrating a unique Napa Valley style to make internationally respected wines of excellent quality. Vice President and General Manager Rob McNeill and winemaker Ludovic Dervin carry on the inspiration that began with Guy Devaux in making Mumm Cuvée Napa wines, bringing the ripe character of Napa fruit to the forefront while maintaining the classic balance and structure necessary in an outstanding sparkling wine. These wines are led by the prestige cuvée DVX, named in honor of Guy Devaux and one of the most honored California sparkling wines each vintage.
