My town has one of the oldest underground wine cellars in Europe with some bottles up to 300 years old. I talked to somebody maintaining the wine cellar and part of the cork replacement procedure that happens about every 50 years is to taste the wine - just a drop though. Apparently it's pretty awful. His colleague said "You have to taste your way up to one of these!" which sounds like bullshit to me. I bet it doesn't get better after 1700 more years.

The real problem is once you get a taste for it, only 1,000 year old bottles will do.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
