Thoughts on these?

[Innkeeper]

I'd like to comment on the aging of white wines. There is a handful of whites that age nicely. First of all there is Riesling of any persuation on the sweetness scale from dry to the most cloying; so long as it is made properly it will age for ten or twelve years. One of best I ever had was a twelve year old from Alsace and was found in a sale bin.

In addition there is Chenin Blanc, meaning those from the Loire Valley such as Vouvray (often inexpensive) and Savennieres. Then there is Semillon particularly that from Western Australia.

Information on any of these should be available from any reputable wine merchant.
