Pine Ridge's quality woes

Article Abstract:

Pine Ridge will relabel and sell as jug wine most of its 1989 Cabernet Sauvignon and all of its 1988 vintage. Winemaker Gary Andrus states that the wine is not of sufficient quality to market as Cabernet, and doing so would damage the winery's reputation as makers of fine wines.
