Rob,
Thanks so much, so in this book they explain how the points are given
accordign to vineyard characteristics?
Great I must buy this book then
Only one page they explain all ? or from page 64 on ?
They explain each vineyard characteristic how many points give
according to its value?
Thanks,
Mario
