Supposedly 90% of us drink a bottle of wine on the same day we purchased it. Typically you stop at the market on Friday after work to pick up dinner and a wine to go with it. I think these people are on to something.
Last night's routine went like this:
Pulled out a 1993 Dry Creek Vineyards Reserve Cabernet. Okay, I had a real good idea this one was over-the-hill. It was. Past being enjoyable to drink. Down the drain. I bet this wine was really good ten years ago.
Next a 2006 Lake Sonoma Dry Creek Zinfandel. Corked. Ugh. Of course, if I'd bought this wine yesterday at the market I could just take it back.
Third was a 2005 Kenwood Vineyards Jack London Ranch Zinfandel. Not terrible, but I'd guess two or three years past its prime. I managed a glass of this before dumping the rest.
Almost a "perfect" oh-for-three. I don't know why I do this to myself. LOL
