2000 Halstead Vineyards, Napa Valley

[Thomas]

Does the label read "vinted and bottled by" or "cellared and bottled by?" If so, follow that lead. Whomever is listed is the one holding the license, not that it means it is a bona fide wine production facility, but you will know if it is or isn't by those very words. The search will have ended, unless you want to know at which facility the wine was made. But the fact that it isn't listed means the winery isn't interested in letting you know.

Gil, you say the wine is worth the price, and more. Well, to be sure, someone, somewhere is likely paying more for that same wine, but under a different, maybe even recognized, label.

You gotta love capitalism for its inventiveness...
