Wine Never Sleeps

While you may be "hibernating" this season, wine is hard at work aging itself into perfection.  The magical aspect of wine is that it continues to develop in the bottle.
I emphasize this fact on my wine tours.  I often hear such comments as, "Well, I visited that winery last year, so why go back?" 

My answer is simple.  The wine you tasted yesterday is not the same with you will taste today.  This keeps the wine enthusiast  on their toes.  Not only is there plenty of different varietals under many different labels; each of those wines are changing everyday.   This leaves us with an infinite number of variations of wine!

Once again it comes down to the Three P's.  Practice, practice, practice.  Get out there and "follow" the life of your favorite wines.  Of course, you will have your own supply at home, but a little sip at the winery can tell you how your own supply is coming along.  But given the limited case lots...you're better off playing the tasting game with your home supply.
