wineries will use whatever is on hand to bottle small quantities (I'm guessing they don't bottle much of the PV on it's own) I almost always have glass left over after a bottling and have to pay to store it at a warehouse till next year....it gets expensive, but that doesn't make it right.

Pacific Rim here in WA (used to be party owned by the Cardinal Zin guy) bottles all their riesling in Claret bottles...I don't get it, but I'm sure a marketing person was involved somewhere in that decision making process.

BTW, was the Petit Verdot grown in Monterey? Seems like it wouldn't be warm enough there to ripen all the way.
