...this was symbolized by the words TIME-and-LIFE-which became virtually a single word in the American idiom. Moreover, that double label will continue to exist: on the Time-Life Buildings in New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Amsterdam and Tokyo; on TIME-LIFE Books and Records, and other projects and products. Much of the experience and talent that constituted LIFE will be used and reflected by other Time Inc. enterprises, including TIME, which we hope will be joined by some of LIFE'S people.

More and more California makers are dating even their mediocre products. Does vintage really matter? If a vine gets too little sun or too much rain one year, the grapes are likely to end up with a low sugar content and ferment into acidic, watery wine. If there is too much sunlight, the grapes can shrivel like raisins and produce overly sweet wine...
