I recently found out that the wines I made 2 years ago are awesome, the flavor, body and all around wine was so much better than when it was first bottled...We thought it was good then too...everyone raves about aging wines, and they are so correct.
I need help like some other Forum Members to keep from drinking my wines too early. I am trying to make up many batches, so eventually will have an over abundance and be able to let some sit longer.
For my New Years Plan [not resolution] I started putting a box of 12 bottles of each batch away...taped up the box and slid it under the shelves in the wine/root cellar...."out of sight-out of mind"...so to speak.
The remainder of the batches are out in the wine racks, will try a bottle every now and then to see how it is coming along....By putting 12 bottles of each batch away it leaves room on the shelves for more bottles....so will continue making batches of wine and storing away some bottles of each.
Now comes the hard part, leaving the boxes of wine alone...and...for how long...6 months...12 months....????
I will be needing some help not opening those boxes....someone please hold my hand and give me strengh....keep me from temptation to open that one box that might have a new favorite wine....
HELP!!!
