I make wine. The wine I make is drinkable a couple months after I get it in bottles, but continues to age and improve as it sits. This process should theoretically continue for years, albeit with diminishing returns. I get just shy of 18 one liter bottles from each 5 gallon batch, once loss in bitting is accounted for. I generally drink or give away my full liter bottles within a few months, but recently I’ve decided to take that short bottle from each batch and just set it aside for a special occasion that may be years down the line.

So far I’ve got a Chardonnay labelled “Kissinger”, a strawberry mint wine labelled “North”, a pineapple upside cake wine labelled “Dubya” and soon a peach Moscato rosé labelled “Stone”. It’s up to their namesakes when the aging process ends, because whenever these people go wherever it is we all go the average decency of the entire earth will improve so drastically that it will be worth celebrating.
