Aging Wine (was organic beer and ale)

[Guest guest]

Would you know anything about what wines would be good to keep for 21

years? (or where I could find that information?) When I got into brewing I

always wanted to make a batch for my first child's 21st birthday, but at

this point I haven't had enough practice with winemaking to be able to make

the batch myself. I'd love to get a few bottles of wine to lay aside for

her 21st birthday but I'm so clueless on aging wine. Thanks for letting

me pick your brain!
