OK...what to drink first (before they start going bad)

[tw]

It really all depends on the wine itself, but yes get those whites down first. There are very few white wines that age well. For the reds yes in general your bordeaux wines will age quite a bit longer than the fruity cali wines. Although a nice Cali cab can put down a few years too. It kinda goes on a per bottle basis. One thing you can do is buy a few bottles and drink one every few months and see how it ages. After a while you will be able to taste a wine and give an estimate as to how much aging potential it has. Hope this helps.
