Wine Myth #2: Do All Wines Get Better With Age?

Producer Rusty Cellars dives into one of the oldest myths in wine: that every bottle improves with age. Joined by the ever-opinionated Sour Grapes — and his trusty dog Bubbly — the team sets the record straight with humor, wisdom.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why over 90% of wines are designed for drinking within the first couple of years.

  • The small handful of wines (Bordeaux, Barolo, Riesling) that actually reward long-term aging.

  • How bad storage can turn even the best bottle into vinegar.

  • Sour Grapes’ hilarious take on saving a $12 Pinot Grigio for a decade (hint: it ended up as lawnmower cleaner).

  • The debut of Bubbly Creek Vineyard as the official podcast sponsor.
