How long can a corked bottle of wine (white and red) be stored at room temperature (75 degrees F) i.e. inside of pantry? An what's the best way to store wine for a couple of weeks if my house doesn't have a basement and I don't have a wine cellar?
A friend who recently lost her husband passed along to us a bottle of wine they had been saving. The wine is a 1970 Chateau Trimoulet Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe, Red Bordeaux. We are uncertain how it has been stored, however no visable signs of leakage or cork damage. Can you tell us the current value? Should we drink it now - or save it, and any food pairings you could recommend?
I have bottles of 1997 Solia, Tignanello, Guado al Tasso, all signed by Marquesa d' Antinori (just a little extra touch). Are they ready to drink? What is their market value? Your comments/insight appreciated. Thanks. Allan Rae

I have been told that red wine (especially european wine) has to be decanted for about 1 hour before being served. I tried it and noticed that the same wine will test much better after decanting. However, this will bring the wine to room tempearture (around 75 degrees), way far from the suggested serving temperature (65 degrees). What\'s the trick?
What is a Rhone Blend and a Bordeaux Blend? What makes them the type of blends that they are?
The label of this PGrigio says, "Pinot Grigio from Valdadige" Further down on the label it says Pinot Grigio delle Venezie IGT. What does Valdadige have to do with delle Venezie? Thank you
I often read a description of wine as "sexy" as used by Parker, Wine Spectator & others. I asked Serina Sutcliff at a Hollywood Wine Seminar what they meant. She answered laughingly "I don`t know. I never use the term. Call me if you find out." What do you think they mean by a "sexy" wine? Donald Holzberg
