Former editor and director of Vintage International Magazine Linda Johnson demystifies how to locate, judge, buy, and age the best wines at optimal times for both the taste and the price. Johnson addresses the growing seasons, vintages, and aging periods for various wines, as well as how to create your own cellar and build your collection of wines, complete with approximate costs. Johnson describes and lists wines that are table-ready and those that require short-, medium-, and long-term storage. Her vivid descriptions of regional favorites, triumphs of particular growing years, how to taste a wine, and how aging changes your wine not only inform but make wine collecting (and enjoying) a historical adventure.
