Description

In this week's show, we explore a summer-themed approach to "Open that Bottle" night. Geoffrey Moss, Master of Wine, encourages us to enjoy that special bottle without waiting for an elusive "someday," as we examine the evolution of wines with age, factors influencing the optimal time for opening a bottle, and the impact of individual preference on wine aging decisions. Robert Stelmachuk, Wine Director at @mott32van, discusses the nuances of opening notable bottles—addressing when to uncork, the allure of consuming historically significant wines, and why it is often preferable to enjoy a wine sooner rather than risk waiting too long. He also provides guidance on handling mature bottles and shares insights from his experience tasting some of the world's most distinguished vintages. David Lawrason, Wine Director at @winealign, reflects on the emotional aspects of wine appreciation and explains the importance of timing and companionship in enjoying aged bottles. He offers perspectives on how his personal preferences have evolved and the merit of passing on cherished bottles. Additionally, DJ Kearney, global wine expert and Director of Wines at @tcclub, explores the emotional resonance associated with opening special bottles, recounting experiences with treasured vintages and emphasizing that sometimes, the ideal moment to enjoy a wine is simply now.
