By Judy R. How can you tell whether to pour it or store it?
To pour or not to pour, that is the question. How can you tell if a wine should be enjoyed soon or can age gracefully for a decade or more? They often were made and released with that in mind.
Wineries often give a wine a year or two of age before releasing—so wines from the harvest may not be sold to consumers until — or even later. Vinum Winemaker, Chris Condos, inspecting a bottle on the bottling line. So how can you tell if a wine is one to set aside and enjoy later?
