On a trip to wine country in California not long after we got married, my wife and I purchased a very expensive bottle of wine, with the idea of saving it to celebrate a special occasion. But I made it too precious, and we ended up holding onto it too long. Sadly, it had gone off by the time we popped the cork and was undrinkable. It was disappointing for sure, but I saved a little bit of it and let it develop into a pretty tasty vinegar. Small consolation.
