My wife really loves wine, and her 40th birthday is just around the corner. I was thinking of finding her a 40 y/o bottle of (red) wine for her birthday because I think she'd really get a kick out of it. My problem is that I don't know much about wine. I've been searching around on wine-searcher.com and other sites for cabernet savignons, because it's my understanding that they age the best. There are many
40 year old bottles available, but some of them are quite expensive. Is it safe to assume that if I buy the wine from a reputable cellar, and they don't list any defects, that it should be drinkable? I just don't want to shell out $100 or more for a bottle of vinegar.- posted
