Haven't noticed that. Could be more advertising in their magazine? I
do think the general publics knowledge of fine wines and has increased
over the past 10 years or so. Thats pushed wineries to produce better
wines. Twenty years ago white zin was the rage along with ultra cheap
wines. I find thats not the case anymore. More and more people are
finding they prefer good decent wines.
