In their most recent post they present their new wine data sheet. I wrote earlier this month about How Wine Data Sheets Should Be, and it appears* that El Jefe et. all have taken the idea and run with it. They’ve added a extra bit of information beyond what I’d proposed and were able to squeeze even more info to the graphical number line. Here’s a pic (click to enlarge it): [...] [...] Ever on the cutting edge the Twisted Oak folks, led by El Jefe, also have a very cool blog: El Bloggo Torcido.

Wish I could have seen it... Danny, Thanks for the kind words! Showing the data across vintages would be an interesting twist, but beware data overload. Consumers can only handle so much. But for your own use, yeah, I'd highly recommend keeping accurate records. Alex,

Danny,

Thanks for the kind words! Showing the data across vintages would be an interesting twist, but beware data overload. Consumers can only handle so much.

I never thought to graph them but it would be relatively easy to do, and it provides a visual enhancement of the relative measurements across vintages. Winemaking is often called both an art and a science, but I believe it is an art built on science. You gotta know what your building blocks are.........As an east coast grower(southeastern PA) we have a continental climate similar to Burgundy. Difference is that we have acid clay soils compared to the chalky clay of the Cote d' Or.. Measuring PH and TA are critical to the harvesting decision more so than anything else. Enjoy your blog tremendously.

Anyway, they do something a bit different from your idea...and when I say "different " I mean "less useful." So, this is a great idea and I'd love to consider it further!
