But IMO very few of todays wines are made to be aged. Ripeness is up and tannins are down in most wines. Wine consumption is up and the makers are giving the public wines made to be opened within a year or two.

I still buy a few Bordeaux and Barolos that have the qualities for ageing. Also Sauternes and Vintage Ports.

Are you suggesting that the $55 Washington State viognier should be laid down?

And $30 to $50 is my current price range. And I don't drink Bud. What is your point?
