Oh what a night! Thank you WW!

I checked for RAD on Hedges Red Mountain Reserve availability in NYC--if there is any, it will be the 1998 vintage. That seems to me to be too early to be releasing the wine. Wineries are chasing the money (why store it in the warehouse when you can collect the dollars quickly?) and that is why people are consuming the wines when they are still too young.

As for Fresno U not knowing what is in the ground, and thereby not knowing what is in the bottle; If I am correct, that Barbera is a commercial product; I thought the BATF has rules about what a commercial wine label tells us...
