Hi Caveman,
We use software to extract wine names from the thousands of wineries and retailers that sell wine. So each wine name is not hand entered, it is extracted from web pages via software.
This particular wine was extracted from HiTimeWine.net -- on this exact page:
http://www.hitimewine.net/istar.asp?a=3&...
Sometimes our software gets the wine name wrong, other times, the retailer lists the wine incorrectly. In either event, we may list the wine name incorrectly.
Because of the vast quantities of wine on the market, it is impossible for Vinquire to verify each wine by hand. Therefore, we must rely on our custom AI (artificial intelligence) software to extract wine names automatically.
We do continue to improve the extraction process, it is an ongoing process that will never be perfect.
These are the reasons you will occasionally see wines listed on the site that are not actual wines, or, are described incorrectly. I hope this helps explain some of the oddities users may encounter while searching for wines.
We really appreciate your solid reviews and your continued feedback -- thank you!
John

Hi,
I've had Fred Magniens Burgundy's before, but I don't recognize this wine. When you say it is an amalgum of California and Burgundy do you mean that's what it tastes like, or that the grapes come from both places? Thanks.
