A Quick Note:
· Drink means the wine should be consumed within a year or 2. They might be able to hold for another few years if in cellar but they will not improve.
· Drink/Hold means they can be consumed now (decant them!), but an extra few years would make the tannin smoother and the body more structured.
· Hold means it is a waste if you drink them now as they would be much better in the future.
Section break down:
· “Amazing value” focuses on wine below $25 and has been testified by many of my WSET Diploma wine friends.
· “Just Enjoy” has price tags arranged from $25-$70 where you would be able to find some wine that age worthy and can increase value in long term.
· “Unforgettable” includes premium priced wine $70-120 that can be very good value judging by their quality, collectability, and age ability. And they are all very accessible in the market.
· “The whole new world” are collectible and auction wines that I got chances to taste and enjoy this year.
