>>The reason the wines are spotty and often volatile is because they are normally produced in small lots. Handled frequently, small lots of wine can go faster as less volume comes into contact with lots of oxygen. Also, the vintage is often bottled from separate small lots without a comprehensive blending, which invariably gives you bottle variations.<<

Then don't even THINK of ordering any Paolo Bea or Emedio Pepe (two of Italy's most traditional and revered winemakers) from us!!!
Bea, says "If every bottle is different then they are just like your Grandmother's cookies, yes?"

Here's to inconsistency (otherwise known as real life), Miles Davis anyone?
