Another taste test...

[bkadue]

Looks like I've received some sage advice from a couple of prolific posters, and take the suggestions I've heard from both to heart.

That said, I think I'm leaning towards taking the advice of Wino. Innkeeper, I'm certain your advice is the prudent way to go. Buy nothing now, and in 26 years if my 5 year old has an interest in wine I can simply go buy a nice 2008 and enjoy at that time. Hell, there's no guarantee I or my children will even be alive in 15 years, let alone in a position to enjoy any bottles I buy today.

For me, that route lacks the romance I'm looking for. I think it would much more fun to have and to hold a nice magnum for 15 years, before finally enjoying the experience of corking it and drinking. Between now and February 2029, I'll see that bottle a few hundred times, and each time think fondly of when I'll have the opportunity to taste it.

So I'm going to take WW advice. Forget about the case, and instead purchase 2 nice magnums for each child. One for their 21st and one for them to keep. They may go bad, but I'll still have the memory.

Thanks for the input gents.
