A wine that lasts

[Innkeeper]

I'll try to be gentle. A project like this has some potential pitfalls. As has been stated, there is quite a bit of discussion about which wines will go the route. Then there is the storage issue. The wine has to be kept in pristine storage (temperature, humidity, vibrations, et al) for the entire period. Throw in the likelihood of moves, and commensurate issues. Finally, what if twenty years from now your fine young college grad doesn't like wine? There is even a greater liklehood that he won't like old wine. Many avid winedrinkers don't.

We've been drinking wines all our married lives (42 years). Of our four children, one drinks an occasional White Zin starting at age 32, and one other will even touch that now once or twice a year.

Hope this doesn't throw too much cold water on your plans.
