Eric -> Taylor vs. Taylor Fladgate (10/31/2005 1:57:48 PM)

Taylor, Fladgate and Yeatman produce a series of famous, world-leading Ports that are marketed under the "Taylor" name. Alas, in the United States there was already a winery with that name, so in the US only, the Ports are referred to as "Taylor Fladgate".

This duplication is problematic, since it is the same port regardless of the imported name. So when user or professional reviewer comments on the wine, only half of the CellarTracker users are seeing that. To simplify things we have merged all of these wines under a single producer entitled "Taylor (Fladgate)".

I also went further and ran queries to find about 40 users who had holdings under BOTH producers. For these users, the specific bottles and pending purchases have been tagged with a note showing the name of the former producer. This is a valuable distinction for some users. Going forward we ask any users who feel strongly to use per-bottle notes to distinguish the importing source and specific brand.

On a possibly unrelated issue, I notice that there is a separate listing for Taylor Late Bottled Vintage Porto and Taylor Traditional Late Bottled Vintage Porto.  I know that at least until lately this was not a Traditional LBV, and this may still be true.  Want to discuss this with Roy Hersch?  The styles are immensely different, and of course it's a possible dupe.
