If you're keeping for the sake of drinking, I can say you will be able to find good wine out of any varietal (grape); there's always a top tier.
Your budget plays a big role in determining what to buy as well. And the varietal plays a part in determining how long you can age the wine. So there are actually a couple factors to consider.
I can give you some easy answers if you want. Buy some first growths from Bordeaux. There are 5 vineyards that stand out above the rest and their wines are probably your very definition of collector's wine. Just make sure the vintage is good and you properly store the wine. Not sure if you seen the thread, but I remember some member was trying to sell a bottle of Mouton Rothschild (which is a first growth).
DOO EET!

I am planning to drink probably 1/3 of the collection and keep the rest to store. Considering getting something like this. A 30 bottle wine cooler.
Will definitely look more into it. Napa is just 30 minutes away from me.

It takes some good research, patience and luck to really hit a home run on future values.  |
Thanks. Will look into that magazine.
