You’ve convinced me, Gary. I’m going to try overheating a couple of wines from a case that’s still a bit young. Let’s see how it goes!

New viewer here!
Awesome episode. Most interesting part was the cork! Hmmmmm…something to look out for.
And I definitely think an epsiode on winesicles should be next.

Interesting show. I think the cold wine was a good comparison, because some people might drink it that way, but it probably would have been best if the “flash-aged” wine could have been brought back to room temp because almost no one would drink wine hot. However, I like these shows that involve experimentation. We scientists are like that. I think it would be good to do a more extended experiment at room temp. Take the same wine, put a bottle in a fridge for a year to preserve it and not let it change. Put another bottle at ideal cellar temp, put a third bottle at about 80 F for a year and put a fourth bottle at about 120 F for a year. Bring them all to room temp and then taste them after the year aging. It would be interesting to see if the 120 F wine would be wrecked or merely aged as though it was four or five years at cellar temp.

interesting concept for today’s show. I’ve always been leery of big dollar wines that are racked in the middle of the shop, for how long, and under what conditions? For today’s test, I think the wines should have been exposed to the heat / cold and then allowed to come to room temperature before comparing them.

keep ‘em coming Gary!!

Good to know when I leave the wine in my car -the temperature will ‘mature’ the wine. Thanks for testing the temps.

Hey Gary, you had the wine outside for just a couple hours. What if a wine is stored in a liquor closet (one that is not temperature controlled) for several years, through hot summers and cold winters. Will that speed up, slow down the aging process thus ruining the wine? How much worse do you think that is on a wine then just heat/cold?

My dad emailed me the Time article and said that you sound like a wine critic he would actually trust. Then again, he mostly drinks cheap whiskey and so not sure if that’s much in the way of praise, though it maybe does indicate how famous you’re becoming in the wine world. Move over, Mr. Parker….
