videoMaster of Wine Tastes a Near Forty-Year-Old Bordeaux
In this video, I'll discuss why some red wines age well and others do not, the importance of proper wine storage, and how to open and serve an aged wine. The back of the video will feature a tasting of a nearly 40-year-old Château Gruaud-Larose, one of the great properties of Bordeaux. For starters, the vast majority of wines are not made for long-term aging; they are best within a few years of the vintage. They highlight the primary fruit character that will only fade over time. Another smaller group of wines can maintain themselves over an extended period, but they will not gain complexity or nuance. The final group will gain positive attributes that were not present during the early stage of development. They don't just survive, they evolve. That said, even the longest-lived wines don't have endless aging potential; all have a peak window, then a period of decline. That said, some can remain enjoyable for years beyond their peak. Why do some wines age well and others do not? An

videoStop Serving Bad Natural Wine to New Drinkers.
Meet Allie — our new EU correspondent. She's a Texan who moved to Germany without speaking a word of German, stumbled into a vineyard job, completed a three-year winemaking apprenticeship in the Pfalz, and never left. Now she's working in sales and export and living right in the beating heart of German wine culture. In this first dispatch from Europe, we dig into: → Allie's wild path from Colorado School of Mines dropout to German winemaker (blame the free Coors brewery tours) → Why the Pfalz is the real centre of German wine culture — not the Mosel → Wine Paris vs ProWein: why importers are abandoning Düsseldorf and what Vinexpo is doing differently → The non-alcoholic wine boom — is it actually any good yet? → Bad natural wine is scaring off new drinkers — €14 for nail polish remover is not the way in → Why young people aren't engaging with wine and what the industry is getting wrong about approachability → Germany's apprenticeship system vs university — and why hands-on skills
