Q: I would like to build my small wine collection to cover a variety of situations and occasions. What types of wines are must-have basics of any collection? I am also thinking of purchasing modular racks to store my wine laying down, thus preventing the corks from drying out. Anything else that I need to keep in mind when it comes to proper wine storage?
Q: My wife has become sensitive to sulphites. I understand that some eco-friendly or organic white wines are sulphite free. Are there any great wines that are sulphite free?
