Wine tends to not stick around very long in my house. Generally, if I’ve purchased a bottle, that bottle is gone within a day or two. And no, as much as I may fantasize about one day owning my own medieval wine cellar, that dream has yet to come to fruition. Having said that, I understand that there are those with more self-control than I who may be wondering how long they can hold on to their wine, be it opened or unopened.

How long can you keep that bottle of wine for?

In the heat of summer, there is simply nothing better than a chilled glass of crisp white wine. While I truly love perusing the aisles of a local wine shop to find a fun new bottle to try, sometimes it’s nice to have a go-to that doesn’t require splurging. Though I’m more cautious of super inexpensive wines, especially whites, you don’t necessarily have to break the bank for a good bottle and Trader Joe's Espiral Vinho Verde proves it.

Americans are apparently far more likely to describe Vice President Kamala Harris as healthy, mentally fit, and a strong leader than the 78-year-old Republican presidential nominee.According to the poll, 71 percent of respondents agreed that Harris was “in good health,” while 52 percent said the same about Trump—6 percent fewer than believed the same...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Travel to Healdsburg, California—a charming Sonoma County town 70 miles north of San Francisco—and you’ll likely hear this credo repeated by locals many times over. It’s not just a saying that refers to the area’s diverse microclimates and farmlands rich with luscious tomatoes, glossy olives, a wide variety of winegrapes, and thousands of other crops year-round. Everyone in this part of Northern California (which is smack dab at the meeting point of the Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, and Alexander Valley), seems mindful of what “grows together,” especially when it comes to food flavors that’ll complement wine tastings and dessert pairings. But this philosophy is also a way of life for residents, whose vineyards produce grapes that constitute a whopping six percent of all the wine sold in California.
