The sentence above however demands that you have a wake for the wine. I suggest a spectacle that would make Bacchus proud.

I suspect some of the Aussies reds will still be fine - as long as you get through them soon. Best of luck. Shea,

I just hope I can keep the blog going as all these wines were supposed to be my supply for the next couple years. Not sure what I'm going to do now.

The Ridge, pax, Finca Altimira, Spotteswoode .. i mean this is unbelievable.

Will you build/buy a cellar going forward?

yah open and see.. but even if recorked, it won't age at the original timeline..
I've heard you can freeze wine to suspend aging.. maybe you can mass freeze the survivors?

I guess I'll be opening all of these as soon as possible to see the damage. But I don't feel fair in reviewing them since, even if some survived, I will never know whether their flavours were dulled or changed by the heat. Thanks Graham – I'm not sure.
