Diversity is good for wine.

The good professor has a recent post with the headline: Do you cellar rosé?

For me, the answer depends on what one means by "cellar." If by cellar, one means age, then the answer is easily "no." There are many wines that are very, very enjoyable young and while they're still fresh.

Still, I never know what I, or the lovely young lady, might be in the mood for. A Rosé, a Beaujolais, a Sauvignon blanc... never know. And when we open a bottle, it tends to be when many good wine stores are closed. So, I like to keep a few bottles that are not meant to age for a casual night in (besides, it helps me keep some of the bottles that really need to be aged around longer).
