Good storage really helps! I can't call all of the bottles I've found in
this way wise decisions, though. But I agree, it's always fun to
stumble across a forgotten bottle, it brings back memories of the time
when it was bought -- I think I got the Cornas from Brookline Liquors no
less, long before we moved to France! -- and sometimes you find a real
surprise.
