I turn the bottle and find the grape

White Zin- White Merlot- White Cabernet has very little contact with its skin while being produced, that’s why it’s pink or white

Very nice G. It's pretty warm here in SF tonight. We're drinking a nice white, perfect for this heat! Enjoy!

Whites don't age well unfortunately, I have heard it's best to drink them at year-three or less. Young is good. But who knows... whites are a bit subjective too. As for reds, well aging is up to the owner and their patience... and keeping a very close eye and tab on their aging and storage process. I have some bottles dating back to <1987.
