I think so, as well.... we've all got sun. Temperature can play a part, but I
think that soil and winemaking skills are important.
Of course, there's as much discussion on them as anything.

Please feel free to elaborate, I'm always interested. Thanks,


Rory,

Rory,
I think a lot of it has to do with the soil....especially after having spoken
with the famous Dr. Loosen in Germany who makes probably the best Rieslings in
the world.
I'll write you back later today,

So I'm fine with the volume of communication. Let it grow, like a vine, at
it's own rate.
Thanks for the feedback; much appreciated!

BTW, had a Calif cab sauv this evening, very... fruity!?!, almost sweet, if
that's possible. I wonder if that's attibuted to the quality of the grapes when
picked, or to the winemaker... the bottle was a pretty cheap bottle at the local
store, so I thought I'd give it a try. Not a bad wine by any means, but
certainly not indicative of a "traditional" cab sauv. Almost like they tried a
different approach to the winemaking.

:)
Rory,

Rory and Jim,
I hope you'll stick around here and watch this group grow, because
they always do when the moderator cares...but if you want answers
right away to your questions you'll get them probably immediately at
growgrapes or grapesrus which are the two main groups.
My experience until now has been with the northeast and with the
varieties of western europe, particularly Germany and France.
Best regards,
Michel
