Life of a wine....

[Innkeeper]

In her 2002 book "Wine Buying Guide for Everyone" Andrea Immer gives you tips on wine brands that are supposed to be good year in year out. Among the tips are what she calls "Survivors Guides" for each wine. She simply recorks wines with original cork or synthetic, and places whites in the fridge and reds on the kitchen counter. She then tells you how long each wine from each brand will last. I find it very informative.
