Episode Notes:

Alright class, (don’t worry, it’s Wine School)… This week is what we call in wine tasting a "Revisit", which sounds so much classier than saying "can I have some more?" And it's a topic that I ALWAYS get so many questions about (which is why it was worth a revisit)...Aging Wine!

If you’ve ever wondered things like:

Why should I age a wine? How does it change?Will I like it better? What’s the best way to store it? Then this episode is for you!

I’ll break down :

1. The elements in a wine that determine it it will “get better” with time
2. What happens to wines as they age and how the flavor and texture change
3. The best way to store your wine if you are going to “let it ride”
