  I am planning on serving a 1999 Penfold's Grange later this month.  Many online reviews suggest a two hour decant or more.  that seems like a long time for a wine this old.  However, I don't have much experience with wines of this caliber meant to be aged for long time frames.Opinion? Read More

  Howdy, folks.  I have access to very well preserved mid-90s Mondavi reserve cabs. I have been eyeing them for a while and wondered if anyone here has opened them recently and cared to share their thoughts on whether they are worth the $100 or so it would cost to acquire them.Thanks in advance.
