Historical Winery Record 13
This page corresponds to a numbered winery listing in the former Chalone Wine Group web structure. The number identifies a historic URL, not a ranking, wine vintage, or current producer. Because a verified copy of the original record is not available here, the following text explains its archival context rather than recreating missing facts.
Numbered pages on older websites
During the early commercial web, many organizations published information through templates connected to databases. A page might have a short file name and a number rather than a descriptive address. That format was practical for maintaining collections of records, even if it told a visitor little about the content before opening the page.
Wine businesses could use such structures to organize estates, brands, regions, and related educational material. An outside publication might link directly to one record, leaving a durable reference after the original site had been redesigned or retired.
What the surviving URL tells us
The surviving address establishes that a particular path was used as a reference. By itself, it does not identify the winery, verify an ownership relationship, or prove that every later version of the page contained the same information. Those claims require separate evidence.
Researchers should look for dated snapshots, original publications, and archived technical documents. If sources disagree, it is better to preserve the uncertainty than to assign a precise identity based only on a file number.
Why preserve the subject rather than redirect everything home?
A reader who arrives through a historical citation expects context about the original subject. Sending every obsolete link to a generic homepage can make it harder to understand what was being cited. An explanatory archive record is useful when it clearly discloses what is known and what remains unverified.
