how do you know what year is good?

[curious]

thanks,
I have been reading advidly a lot on-line, I know it sound crazy, but I am one of those weird people who LIKE research, I enjoy doing research papers (good thing, as I have one that I will doing this quarter, 50+ pages).

I trust what I find here more than what I have found elsewhere (checked other forums and sites out, some are snobs, others don't discuss what is needed, or give good clear answers or seem to be a free advertising for a winery) and I like the archiaval set up, easy to use. Info here has been confirmed at other sites, showing that this here is accurate (when you check out 10 and 9 agree, you can pretty well trust, but I won't go into the statical aspect of biased, <g> )yet the others will provide info that is in conflict with other sites, this one hasn't, so far.

I have a notebook that I am writing down info that I feel will be of benefit to me, am going to pick up a coulple of books, Wine for Dummies and one on pairing, seen a couple recommended here, will check them out.

So, will continue to learn, and enjoy this new "vice" <BG>.
