5 Regions Where You Can Easily Find Aged Wines
One of wine’s most alluring properties is its ability to evolve over time. While some wines can age incredibly well — like red Burgundy — that doesn’t necessarily mean the older vintages are easy to find. Since these wines are often released young (generally one or two years after harvest), most aged expressions have to be purchased from a private cellar or the buyer has to put in the meticulous work of storing it themselves (resisting the temptation to open the bottle for years and years).
