I am turning 21 this November, and while this means I don't have a long history with or knowledge of wine consumption and storage, I have greatly enjoyed the few glasses I've had with family friends and relatives over the past few years. Because I am not a huge partier, I'd like to commemorate my turning 21 by purchasing a bottle of wine (preferably red) on that day, then save it for a few years to finally open on another birthday. I have no specific plan, I just like the idea of buying a bottle of wine on my 21st and drinking it on some future birthday, as soon as the next year or as late as 50.
Being only 20 I obviously don't have the grandest budget for this, but I was hoping someone would have a few bottles or vintages I should look into--or just a particular type of wine that is always likely to improve with moderate aging.
Thanks so much!
