]]> Comment on PALM Cellars Zin- has this happened to you? by Tim http://wineclosetinc.com/wineblog/?p=132&cpage=1#comment-6289 Tim Sat, 26 Feb 2011 14:22:02 +0000 http://wineclosetinc.com/wineblog/?p=132#comment-6289 Cathy, The condition you encountered is common with big, tannic wines. If a wine is big enough to age properly, you can't avoid the sediment that is inherent in making it. Two things that you should do when opening a decent bottle of red wine are: 1) decant; 2) filter. In most cases this should be done a few hours prior to enjoying it, as the wine needs time to breathe. Wine aerators can't do a good wine justice. If you have not yet found the secrets to enjoying your better wines, I hope this helps. Cathy,
