I enjoy viewing other people's cellars (and admittedly, have been very envious of some of the great bottles acquired), but I'm surprised by the lack of use of the Best After/Best Before columns. I've found those to be the best feature of the site. Until I cross-referenced ratings and wine notes (if they were available), we had been drinking numerous wines before their time or had left a few past their prime (mostly wine bought on vacation which we saved for special occasions). Using this feature has certainly helped us pinpoint which wines we should be drinking now and which ones will get better if we leave them be for a few years.
I could not agree more. I use that part of the database as a sort tool to forecast when I will drink some wines.
I did 2004 forecasting in January and it gives me a good idea of what I either would like or need to drink this year.
Of course it is hard at times to wait!
We would really like to hear what you have to say
