Personally, I prefer higher elevation wines. Patagonia, Moon Mountain in Sonoma, most of Chile are my favorite high elevation wines!

Great short trivia. Was thinking recently about elevation but did not end up google-ing. You spared me the research

I've got another one coming, this week, regarding soil composition! Getting a little geeky this time around. Cheers!
