Today’s question was sent in from Gordon in Hoboken (New Jersey) who asks “Time in a bottle: When should I drink my wine?”.
Video sum up: When should I drink my wine?
Wine changes year to year, even season to season.
First, when you keep your wines you have to keep an eyes on things. You should keep wine in a dark, cool and free of vibration place.
You first should then understand the types of wine that would improve over time and the types of wine that should be drunk younger.
To do so you have to understand the wine itself, what is the lineage of the wine… by reading tasting notes for example from Robert Parker, Wine Spectator or even on winemaker’s website. They will most often give you an estimation on when you should drink your wine.
At the same time it is equally interesting to drink a wine as it evolves. For example young Bordeaux, they are fresh, tight and it’s very interesting to try to determine how it will evolves.
Finally keep a close eye on your cellar because you don’t want to lose the opportunity to drink a very nice wine at his peak.
