Thanks for the question – I’m currently in the Midwest visiting family, so Mary and I aren’t meeting this week, but I’ll send her an email and see what she thinks. I think Ste. Michelle could work for aging, but I’d recommend going with one of their more expensive labels, as opposed to an everyday Merlot that is meant to be drunk within the year. I’ll email Mary and let her weigh in, since she has more knowledge than I do on aging wine.

Speaking of aged wine, I am looking for a Washington state wine to age in the bottle. I was thinking Merlot, but I am not sure. I am considering aging the wine for 15 years. Will a mass produced wine (like Ste Michelle) work?

I plan to keep the bottle on its side in a cool dark place. Good?

Greg
