In Details.com, My Shopping List For Pre-Global Warming Classics

We all know global warming is coming, and we all know what it does to grape-growing and winemaking. Plus a global study says the the areas that are now considered classic will be making different wines by 2050 with major changes before then. Some regions will change quicker than other - Napa Cabs come to mind as being on the edge - and those in Europe which have stipulated varietals and growing conditions - e.g., no irrigation - will have to change, or their wines will become quite different. What to do? It might be a good time to stock your cellars with certain wines, particularly if you're under 40. For my suggestions, go to http://www.details.com/blogs/daily-details/2014/07/how-global-warming-is-changing-wineand-which-bottles-to-snap-up-now-before-theyre-history.html.
