Underground Wine Letter Retrospective Issues and Retrospective Reviews
Periodically, we are making a new retrospective issue available here. Every time a new retrospective issue is released, it is featured on the home page and all issues are archived here for easy access. These retrospective issues are electronic copies of the old print issues of The Underground Wineletter. The copies are exactly as they appeared in their original form and are reproduced in the chronological order of the print publication. In addition to making the old issues available, there is also an article titled “Retrospective Review” that accompanies each issue. This review summarizes each article and offers updates and commentary on the conclusions made in the original issue. The reprint of each original issue and updated commentary on each article provides complete transparency to the Underground wine commentary that dates back nearly 35 years! This is something that is completely unique to the Underground.
