Article Abstract:
California Chardonnay's consistent excellence has resulted in its quality being taken for granted by its lovers, as a result of which, California Chardonnay may be on the verge of becoming a victim of its own success. The factor of consistent very good weather and new technology played a role for California Chardonnay running of mostly great vintages dating back to 1990, except for a slight dip in quality in 1998.
