The oldest and best wine I have ever had was probably back in 1980 or so. I had been invited to Thanksgiving to someone's family that I really didn't know well, a counter culture family, as we used to say in the 60"s. After dinner, the family's adolescent son brought out a Sauterne from the 30's (as I remember), the most golden color I'd ever seen and the mellowest dessert wine I've ever had. It was obviously worth hundreds of dollars. When my brother and I complimented him on it and wondered how he'd obtained it, he told us that he had stolen it from a special section in a liquor store the day before. It's weird world. SG

The secret to keeping wines for a long time is buying in large quantities. If you owned hundreds of bottles you would have a difficult time drinking them all that soon. the time is approaching when I will be forced into another buying binge. I bought heavily in the last half of the eighties and the 1990 vintages. I am beginning to shift from "will I ever drink all of this" to "what can I possibly spare". In generally the more wine you own, the more you can benefit from buying wines that can benefit from aging.
