That much wine is hard to drink, especially when those bottles are at their peak. I have a tough time judging when bottles are ready to drink & I only have about 250 bottles. The saddest thing about that huge cellar I saw was that it was filled with wines that weren't very good by the time he opened them. He opened some really old bottles at a Christmas party just before he died and they were all bad. No one would drink them. Quote

I believe a important lesson learned in this context is when the "time is right" to open a vine .... and the answer is NOW 🍷🍷 .... Quote
