Thank you IK.

I was unaware that 95% of wines were meant to be enjoyed immediately. I'll assume that the other 5% are well out of my budget. hehe.

But for the rest, what is the average that you can keep a red wine? (I always thought that if you enjoyed a paticular year, you would want to stock up on them and save them. Apparently not.) If I understand correctly then, I shouldn't worry about aging the wine? I should just enjoy what I have right away? (I promise I'll go out and buy the book, have patience!)

So what about that 1977 Sebastiani Proprietors Reserve? Do you think it's vinegar by now?
