Wine spoilage

[Innkeeper]

Don't be too sure about the '99. Remember that the Southern Hemisphere is a season ahead of us, so a '99 is really like an American '98. This is a help when it comes to reds, but can be a real problem with whites. I would look for an '01, and would think twice about an '00 in an white from Oz or anyplace else south of the Equator.
