Before I get started on this story…I KNOW…wine is intended to be consumed and enjoyed, I’m well aware of that.
Are there any other collectors / enthusiasts out there that are hesitant or reluctant to open a bottle because they only have one of them and they are near impossible to re-acquire ?
My examples are:
• 2006 Dr. Loosen Beerenauslese 🇩🇪
• 1993 Reif Estate Vidal Icewine 🇨🇦
• 1998 Reif Estate Vidal Icewine 🇨🇦
• 1997 Chateau Vari Monbazillac 🇫🇷
• 2012 Pillitteri Gewurtztraminer Reserve Oak Aged Icewine 202/450 🇨🇦
Only having 1 bottle and not being able to get another is making me very scared to open the one I have but I know they need to be enjoyed and consumed at some point !
Any one else go through something similar ? What did you do ? When did you know it was time ?
🍷 cheers

You open it. You decant if appropriate and you drink it with people you enjoy being with.
Maybe target a nice restaurant or special occasion.
Once you start you’ll feel better.
Could be you save it, open it, and it’s gone off. Open it now with the people you love while both the wine and the people are still alive
You just need to buy more special bottles, then you don’t have to worry about it.
I just picked up a few 2013 Herman Wiener HJW Reislings. If you buy them now. They will be there in the future next time you want to enjoy something special.
Look I’ve nothing for you other than to say “I see you”
Infinity bottle
