I met up with sommelier, Erik Segelbaum, in Seattle to talk about cellar raiding and how to start your wine collection. He had some valuable tips:
• The best wines to cellar are usually in the above $20 price point
• Avoid sweet rosé wines in your cellar, they don't age well or command a resale value.
• Buy what you'd like to drink.
• Try getting on a cellar raider's list, like Erik's at thesomlyay.com for good deals on older vintages.
• Producer trumps vintage every time. A "bad" vintage could actually cellar better in the long term

Really enjoyed this video! I found it timely. I’ve recently started buying bottles to lay down for several years. My current cellar solution is a basement closet. Temperature hovers around 65-68 degrees in the summer, likely colder in the winter (TBD). My intent is to drink these bottles anywhere from 3-10 years from now. Hopefully somewhere in that time span I’ll be able to invest in a wine fridge like yours. My understanding is that the closet solution will be just fine for the next few years, so long as temps remain consistent without significant fluctuation. I’ve got a few Bourgognes from higher end producers, several Lopez de Heredia 2011 cubillos, and an assortment of other bottles. I’ll probably keep buying the LDH as that seems like a great value with lots of aging potential. I’d be interested in another video in which you specifically discuss categories & characteristics of wines that offer great value + aging ability. Love all the videos. Thank you!

Betz and Force Majeure are both awesome producers. No one should be concerned about the ability of Washington wines to age (depending on the producer, quality, and style, of course.) I have had 20 and 30 year old Washington wines that were spectacular. Some producers, such as Quilceda Creek, Woodward Canyon, Leonetti Cellars, Andrew Will, Cayuse, Gramercy Cellars, and so many others, build very age worthy wines. Heck, last night we had a 2011 Walla Walla Vintners cabernet franc, and at 9 years old and over 7 years in the bottle, it showed zero signs of bottle age and had at least another decade to go - and that is only a $30 bottle of wine. A few months back, we had a 2006 Cayuse Cailloux Vineyard syrah, and that bad boy had at least another decade to go. It was spectacular, and showed no real signs of aging at the rim or on the palate. A few months before that, a 2005 Andrew Will Sorella was as fresh and powerful as could be. It was just beginning to gain some of those more mature flavors as a wine ages, but I am confident it had another decade or more left. The only challenge is, they are so darned delicious that it is hard to lay them down for 20 years. :) Great show!

In Finland we don't have warehouse services but we have wine cellars where you can rent cabin/cage for yourself. They usually hold 100-600 bottles and pricing is 0.5-1€/btl/yr (or much more if your cabin is not fully filled and you only rented it for prestige). These cellars also have tasting rooms that you can book for your private tastings. Only minority has their own private cellars because all our money goes to taxes.

@@Winefolly Sure there are winefridges. I had 3 in the past but I sold them when I moved to a small downtown apartment, and moved the bottles to rented cellar. It's better as you can have tastings for up to 20 people - that's seldom possible at home.

But the tastings are actually the thing. If I have learned correctly you (as in US people) don't actually do them except for money. Here we have "community driven" wine tastings almost every night of the week. They can be so high end that even then winemakers want to join from abroad because there are vintages they haven't even drank themselves ;) These cellars look like this www.nomadcellars.fi/

Hi Madeline. I really like your way of communicating in a real-life "no-snob" fashion, keep your style ;o), and I will for sure be a reader for the long run. I started reading about wine 4-5 years ago, and I now have 2 big fridges, almost full with pretty good wines from Bordeaux, BUT, and here it comes....I cannot get down to 75% humidity like you recommend, only 60-62'ish (and I have stopped googling). In your prof opinion, will I get a dry cork issue? That would really ruin my day when I get older.... Some of the bottles will stay in fridges for 10-15 years. I would really appreciate your comment, and again, thanks for the enthusiasm. Best regards and cheers from Denmark, Glenn

I was so jealous seeing you open that wine. 🤤 I am finding that most of my Washington syrahs or syrah based blend's age extremely well. I opened a couple of months ago a 2015 Palencia GSM that we purchased in 2016 and it was so much better then what I remembered. Kontos has their Aleatus blend which ages extremely well. As for some whites, I had a very acidic Roussane the other day I had in my cellar for three years and ended up drain pouring it out. My wine of the year last year was a 2012, red mountain syrah from Cotes de Ceil that the winemaker only released last year. He held onto his bottles for seven years because he wanted to bottle age it and it made a huge difference.

Palencia is making some spectacular wines! Kontos is excellent. I buy a lot of Gramercy syrahs and blends, Va Piano's high end syrahs, Saviah's estate wines, K Vintners single vineyard syrahs, and stuff like that. I love the "funk" of The Rocks. We are blessed to live in this area.

Three questions. How accurate are professional reviewers drinking windows? Is it true that Barolos have a dormant/dull period when aging? Are lower priced barolos made to be drunk younger. I had an experience in the past where I bought some lower priced Barolos from an online discount wine house. I was trying to find some info on it but when I looked on the producer's web site I could not find the brand. So I contacted them and asked about it and found out that the wine was a label created for a supermarket chain in Italy that sold for about 15 dollars there. I paid more than that. The other thing is I cellered it for about a year and when I asked about longevity the producer said it better be consumed now. Luca Moroni says that good wine doesn't improve with age. What are your thoughts?

@@adamjeziorski6830 I don't know where you live or what the weather conditions are where you like, but if you have a basement, storing wines against a cool, concrete exterior wall is a good idea. I am in northeastern Washington State, and the ambient temperature of the soil below the frost level is 55 degrees, which is perfect for wine storage. We have a 54 bottle VinoTemp in our dining room, which I have had for 15 years (!), and in the basement we have a closet that backs to a concrete foundation wall that stays around 58 degrees year around. I have simple wood wine racks in there, with racking for 144 bottles, plus room for cases, etc. That does the trick for us. We can store 200 to 300 bottles in excellent conditions, although we are lower in humidity here. Anyway, if you have a basement in your home, and one that is truly underground and has a spot next to a concrete foundation wall, you can easily build a closet backing up to that wall that will give you a very consistent year around temperature. Good luck!

@Winefolly 4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I would say the whole world of quality is moving in a different direction right now. You can certainly buy and enjoy these big, bombastic wines, but what people are noticing is that they don't age well. A lot of high end producers are starting to dial back to wines with more structure (tannin, acidity, balanced alcohol) so that the wines have more staying power. But it means they don't taste as big on release. I remember sitting at a tasting with several Robert Parker 100-point rated wines that were 10 and 12 years old and thinking that they were over the hill. The Volatile Acidity was too high, the aromas were like overripe plums, almost like varnish. It was like the wine equivalent of 80s decor after 20 years of use. Of course, I really think that Camus, Michael David, Hourglass, people like that, will continue to still make these bold wines. There is certainly a thirsty market for it! So, maybe it's a question of honing in who these guys are, and picking the vintages that are really ripe. Hope this helps. or at least make us both think! (it certainly made me think)

20 minutes rule: put whites in the fridge and take them out 20min before drinking. This will have them at about 10-12ish degrees C in your glass, which is ideal for most whites. Put reds that are at room temperature in the fridge for 20min before drinking. You can already open them before chilling them a bit but leave the cork on to avoid fridge smells contaminating the wine. That should result in 15-16 degrees C in your glass. Red wine at 20degree C + lets alcohol overwhelm the rest of the flavours.

@@billpalmer6481 I use a draw in my kitchen but I can only keep like 6 bottles at a time.

Get a fridge. Stores it at the right temperature. If you are drinking decent wine (>$20), you will want to open it for a while before you drink it. That will allow it to move from 55 degree storage temp to around 62/65 which is the best drinking temp (in my opinion). Unless you keep your house at 65 degrees, you are probably drinking your wines too warm.

We have a 54 bottle VinoTemp wine fridge, which is only about 3 feet tall and 30 inches wide. It doesn't take up too much space, and it keeps wines within a 3 degree temperature spread, which is pretty consistent. Some of those smaller wine fridges are fantastic. Ours is 15 years old now and still works great. One caveat, though... never put an electrical appliance like a fridge in an enclosed closet. You need air circulation around them. But hey... put some cardboard or something over the glass door to keep the light out, stick a lamp on top, and use it as a convenient end table! hahahaha

How long did those bottles sit out in the sun line that? 😬😬😬

Heh. Kinda glad someone noticed I knew someone would!! Just for the video - about an hour before they got shaded. We were worried to, but they stayed pretty cool. Not too hot day actually.

Yeah, I think I agree with you. I'm planning on drinking them within the year. I bought them because they were super values!

im sure you've been asked this question many times...what is a better value....wine or beer.
@Winefolly 4 жыл бұрын
Depends on your goals. If you're going for a buzz, buy a tasty beer, if you're looking for an adventure, get a bottle of wine.

Then it would take you 16.43 years to drink a cellar that's 6,000 bottles deep.

I don't even know if I'll be here in 10 years, so I prefer to drink my wines now.

Maybe try some older bottles just to see how 10 years tastes on a wine. It really changes things!
