Buying a wine for my newborn

[Innkeeper]

Hi Toolie, and welcome to the Wine Board. '05s with ageability won't be won't be released for another year or two so you have some time to congetate. You will need a cool (below 70 degrees F), humid place to store the wine in where you live now, and will live over the next twenty years or so. You should get something that you like, as he/she might not like wine in general or aged out wine in particular. Of my four adult daughters only one will drink any wine and then only White Zinfandel or very sweet white wine.

Candidates in my order of preference are Vintage Port, Brunello di Montalcino, Cote Rotie/Hermitage, First or Second Growth Bordeaux, or California Cabernet Sauvignon that is not made with raisens. We don't know at this point whether any of these had a good vintage in '05.
