wine storage

[wondersofwine]

1999 burgundies are currently available and it is recognized as a very good vintage. What age is your son? I ordered two bottles of the same 1999 premier cru Chambolle-Musigny to give my nephew and his bride--they are to be married in September of this year. I am going to suggest that they have one bottle on their honeymoon or shortly after when they settle into married life in San Diego, and save the other bottle for their fifth anniversary (or around that time if they celebrate with champagne on the anniversary). The 1999s should certainly age for 5-10 years if carefully stored. Look under the thread (near the bottom) on wine storage. Costco and the like have inexpensive wine storage units.
