My sister-in-law was taken out to dinner on Wednesday night and the wine was
an '03 Savoy Vineyard Pinot from a winery by the name of Adrian Fog. The winery is based in Sebastopol, California (Southern end of the Sonoma Valley), but this vineyard is in the Anderson Valley (up closer to Mendocino). Anyway, she and her date only drank about a third of the bottle ($150 on the wine list), so she took it home. She kept it corked, but out on a counter, where temps may have reached 75 degrees Farenheit, then brought it to our house last night (Sunday- 4 days later). She says it tasted fine again on Friday (day 2), but it was like fermented raisins tonight. I know she could have refrigerated it, and maybe it would have been better longer, but I didn't expect it to be that bad that quickly. I've refrigerated red wines for a week or longer (albeit using a VacuVin) and found them still drinkable, if usually rather flat and fruit-less. Most of what I read says that refrigeration will only add a day or so, but I haven't found that myself. How predictable was this? |
