The Wine CEO Episode #176: The Beige Bra of Wine (and how to step out of your comfort zone!)

Have you ever wondered if proper storage practices actually make a difference when aging wine? My friends bought 5 bottles of wine in Paris in 2013 and then stored them (wrapped in t-shirts) in hot climates, cold climates, with sunlight exposure, in garages, the back of their RV, and more for 10 years. Join us as we break open the wines to taste them and discuss the proper storing techniques for wine and why it's so important!
