I drank a 2005 bottle last week of December. That was boarder line too young and took 4 hours to open up. I can’t imagine how tight the 2016 was. Still incredible wine. I hope you enjoyed!

Just a heads up, tomorrow is Berserker day on http://www.wineberserker.com. One-day sale each year. Last year picked up some Ridge, DiCo, and some other juice. If you like wine, you’ll be able to find something.

I have been using Cellar Tracker for a couple of years. Being online, it's accessible from just about anywhere. It really does help to keep track of what you have and where it's stored in your cellar. You can print out different reports depending on your needs.

Also- great article last weekend about How to Taste.

One of the things they stressed at the class I took recently is the fact you can only taste 5 things, but smell over 10,000.

I was using Excel, but stopped. Cellar tracker is good, especially if you use off site storage of your cellar. I recommend neck tags unless you keep your wine in their OWC's.

I prefer to look at my collection rose colored glasses.

Case counts sound larger than bottle counts.

As much as I love wine, most are not good pairings with cigars.

I hope to try and get to Temecula again when I get back stateside and on leave. Lots of great wines to be had out there. I had a great time last time in San Diego when I was on leave before coming here. My wife is a wine lover big time. I found a great place in SD called Winesteals if your ever out there. It is a little winebar. It even has some outdoor seating. I though everything was well priced and the staff was very helpful.

case counts? You obviously dont live in a tiny apt.

I have a 18 bottle fridge with 25 bottles in it right now- i have to put a pillow down when i open it because I cant catch the overflow that falls out.

Ive been looking into off site storage but I only have a few bottles that would make it worth it.
