How to knwo when wine is best

[Innkeeper]

Hi CClark, and welcome to the Wine Board. Almost any wine red or white would work for the first five years. For the 10th you can consider a California Cab, a Bordeaux, a Boralo or Barbaresco, an Upper Rhone Red, or certain Australian Shiraz'. For the long range, nothing is as certain as a Vintage Porto, but Sauterne or Ice Wine are white possibilities. For red table wine, a Brunello could work. There is not a lot in the last two categories that is inexpensive. Consult your retailer.
