Description:Have you ever noticed how a really mediocre bottle can be much better the second night? Sometimes a wine that is "closed" opens up from exposure to air. This is a great hint that the wine is really not as bad as you thought. It just needs more time in the cellar. Alternatively, something great falls completely flat in just a day - drink all you've got, because there's not much time left. Wine starts changing rapidly the moment you open it. So here, at "Two Days per Bottle Wine Tasting," I am going to follow wine from the moment I open it through a second night. Call it an experiment. Join me to see if it really tells us anything useful at all.

That sounds like a fun experiment. We sometimes use a venturi to open up a closed wine -- not as patient as you.

You must be willing to travel to get it. Then you can do your experiment of 2 days from here. Think of it as a road trip that you will get to relax and enjoy.

Paige- if you're offering to give me wine, I'm willing to accept it. That's just the kind of guy I am.

Let me know if you would like some great Italian wines/info. I did a lot of research while in Bella Italia! :)
