Appreciating Old Wines

The oldest bottle of wine I have was given to me as a gift back in 2006 after a Comedian Production I had produced. It's a Romanelli Chianti wine from Italy. The date is 1998. It's almost 13 years old. I'm not sure when I'll pop the cork on this one.

The next oldest bottle is a Glen Ellen Cabernet Savignon reserve. I actually bought this bottle while I was in college and never opened it. I called myself trying to appreciate things that I've aged myself. This bottle has history with me.

Next in line is a Robet Mondavi private selection dated 2004. It's a Syrah made in california. This wine is a desert wine which embodies the philosophy of a fruit-forward grape style.

The last bottle is a BanRock Station fine wine. It's a Shiraz from South Eastern Australia. The date on this one is 2006. I'm not sure when I bought or how I attained this one. Knowing me, I bought it when I first LLCed myself.

Only certain people appreciate aged wine. Nothing special about the people, it's just something we like. Like most great things in life, Wine does truly get better with age.
