Wine Likes To Rest Like You

In a cool, dark, place on its side

Wine aging is often misunderstood. You may have heard that only about 1% of all wine produced globally is meant to be aged for extended periods, while most wines are intended to be consumed right away or within a year or two.

Wine critics will sometimes mention a wine's 'peak' (the recommended time to drink it), but like most things in wine, it’s not an exact science. These predictions don’t consider the wide range of personal preferences. To me, the term 'peak' feels too specific. Sounds like something that can be easily missed. Too soon or too late resulting in disappointment if you don’t get it just right.

Think of wine aging more like a leisurely hike up a mountain, where you can stop and enjoy the view from anywhere along the way.
