The Truth About Wine Storage w/ the Del Rey Wine Center | Wine Review: 2023 Weingut Keller Limestone Riesling Kabinett
<p>This week we're joined by Ryan Julio and Shane Mason from Del Rey Wine Center to answer one of the biggest questions in wine: does proper storage really matter?</p><p><br></p><p>We talk about what actually happens to a bottle as it ages, the biggest storage mistakes people make, and how heat, light, and temperature swings can quietly ruin a great wine. Along the way, Ryan explains why some inexpensive wines are worth buying by the case, why Riesling is one of the world's greatest aging wines, and how patience can completely transform what's in your glass.</p><p><br></p><p>To put those ideas to the test, we finish the episode with a Keller Riesling from Germany, a wine that reminds us why some bottles really are worth the wait.</p><p><br></p><p>If you've ever wondered whether you need a wine fridge, how long you should hold onto a bottle, or whether aging wine is only for collectors, this is an episode you won't want to miss.</p><p><br></p><p>Check out the Del Rey Wine Center </p><p><strong>Website: </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.usstoragecenters.com/storage-options/wine-storage/del-rey-wine-center" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.usstoragecenters.com/storage-options/wine-storage/del-rey-wine-center</a></p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/delreywinecenter?igsh=MWM4aGRtY2RmNjZkcQ==" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/delreywinecenter</a></p><p><br></p><p>Support the show and help keep the wine flowing!</p><p><strong>Buy us a glass!</strong></p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3">https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3</a></p><p><br></p><p>Connect with the show.
