When buying domestic wine like Sutter Home, Ravenswood, Yellow Tail, etc. is it better to go with a more recent year or something more aged? I never know if I should pick the 2007 bottle, the 2006, 2008. etc.
Buying wine: do you go with a more recent year or older? ?

On your choices it won’t matter with Sutter Home or Yellow tail. If you have an option on Ravenswood, especially the reds, take a year older.
When I pick whites I use vineyard and grape.
When picking reds I prefer an older vintage to a newer one, unless the younger vintage has a better reputation.
