Why don't more restaurant wine lists specify vintages?

[Amuse Bouche]

I enjoyed a great meal at a local restaurant last evening and had much positive feedback to give, but I did comment to the bar manager that the wine list would be even better if it specified the vintage of each wine. For some wines, the year can make a huge difference. I wonder if there are restaurant owners and sommeliers out there who just haven't realized that the extra effort required to update the current available vintages will pay off by adding an additional level of class and substance to their establishment.

I think your like myself. A small number of people that care about that. I think to many just look at the Robert Parker book & think thats good enough.

people like to annoy other people when ever it is convenient for them....

as vintages change it is a pain in the butt to have to reprint menus. wines don't all change vintages at the same time, thus creating a menu with inaccurate info. or a great expense having to reprint constantly.
