Wine Cellar Management - How Soon is Too Soon?
Written By: Classic Wines team on Thu, Oct 23rd 2008
In a previous episode, we discussed how long is too long for storing a bottle. Now we'd like to play our own devil's advocate and discuss how Short is Too Short. A lot of wine lovers will use expert opinions to guide just how long they store a bottle before they open it. Unfortunately, the expert's taste may not match their own. You may find yourself opening a bottle too soon based on someone else's instinct. Host Brian Freedman explains the parameters in which you can open a bottle, and how not to commit a panic open. Todays bottle is a Chateau Leoville Barton 1995 (Bordeaux).
