What are some wines you are cellaring to share with your kids?
Iâm about to be a father this September so Iâd have to say Kinsman Eades.
The best thing to cellar is vintage grand marque champagne. It wonât be released till well after vintage date so you wonât have to buy it so early, and 21 years is usually the perfect time to drink the bottles. You generally wonât have to buy it until your kid is 8-10.

My kids are on the downhill slide to 40, Daughter 37, Son 36 and neither has much of an interest in wine. I do have a stash of â87s in case my Daughter suddenly has a hankering for older wine.
â87 Dunn Napa
â87 Dunn Howell Mtn
â87 Rochioli Neomaâs Reserve Cab
â87 Spottswoode
â87 Togni
All I have for my Son is an â88 Ravenswood Cooke

Vintage Port and some California Cabs for our son and daughter. 1994 and 1997 were good years for both. And a few Sauternes from 1997.
I almost bought some 87 Dunn HM for my birth year, but decided Id rather spend $200/btl on my babys birth year

Not sure if this is serious or a dad joke
Fyi, the OP doesnât really care. They just needed enough posts to list their de Negoce on Commerce Corner

Awesome. My wife and I love Becklyn might stock up on that. My daughter actually loves to smell the wine from my glass. She loves going into my wine cabinet and pick wine out.
What can you get for De Negoce secondhand? Seems like everyone who is interested in it has bought an ocean of it from De Negoce. How steeply do you have to discount it to find buyers?
And then shipping would be a pretty large percentage of the cost.
Just curious if anyone wants to share about that.

Preferably in magnums
I totally agree! I actually asked that exact question to the OP in one of their numerous threads that they started but i doubt Iâll get a response
Iâm looking at getting rid of wine right now, as Iâm not drinking as much right now, and have second kid on the way. I know I would take a loss but sometimes that happens.
Itâs probably not worth it; I sent all my âdaily drinkersâ to winebid in the last couple years and just gave away the ones they wouldnât take.

I have come to the realization that birth year wines are best to be opened during birthday parties as your kids age, and should any be left once they gain interest in wine, then gift away. Otherwise pull those corks and enjoy! They might get into wine, but not like aged wine. Then what? You have a bunch of wine you could have opened during birthdays but didnât.

The 87 Dunn HM was one of my favorites for a very long time, and I had it many times over the last decade. Last year we got our hands on a pristine magnum with known perfect storage and paired it with flannery Jorgeâs. Iâm sorry to say, but I think that Wine has started its decline and it wasnât as good as many of the earlier bottles we had. I wouldnât wait much longer on yours. Still great, but not what it once was.
