🤔 ....

I saw a cellar like that once. It was after the owner died at the age of 83. 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.

You may be right about a number of cellars/owners .... I believe a important lesson learned in this context is when the "time is right" to open a vine .... and the answer is NOW 🍷🍷 ....

Not usually one for this thread, but this is Christmas dinner:

Starter is a  northern Rhone wine. PXL_20241225_140653652.jpg.83a913e04605a73248e809f461fb3fde.jpg

Main is a 2016 St Emilion, courtesy of an error in pricing that meant that we are getting £73 per bottle for the price of £17 (sadly not repeatable, God knows we have tried).

Now onto this: a port from the 1970s that was bought the day I was born. Label lost in a flood a few years back.PXL_20241225_162910234.jpg.0152766ce075cd328c970857d4cf3674.jpg
