If any of you have been following Dan Berger's Newsletters lately you know that he has been encouraging aeration. The founder and former now retired head of Trader Joe's, Joe Colombe used to taste all the wines they sold. He would report is his own newsletter to customer this way on wines: "1973 Simi Burgundy, Sonoma County, $2.99/20 minutes." This would appear in all his evaluations, and the "minutes" was the amount of aeration it needed. Apparently ole Joe is still kicking around and can be found at www.winejoe.com

Just found this out in the last couple of weeks, but as we have reported long before we decant all red wines except very young Beaujolais. How long to do this before dinner is still a process of trial and error.
