A few empty bins along the "daily wall" I set up a while back to simplify selection for the Ms.

Also making room to stockpile on the 2001s. Avoided the 2000 cabs altogether and am just about out of the Aussies that have kept us going for the past six months.

BTW - where can one acquire additional Thorn Clarke in NJ (or anywhere for that matter ?) I felt fortunate to grab two bottles, but would prefer two cases based on the reviews I've seen here !

Still hoping to grab some Castano Solanera as well....

The end (one can only hope) of a busy month.....

Which Poggio from Banfi did you buy? The Poggio Alle Mura, or Poggio All'Oro?

Nice price range on purchases by the way. Sincerely I am impressed.

ormbee

thanks, for the comment. that $$$ for the insignia is about my upper limit that i spend per bottle - at that price i only buy 1 or 2 of something, and i like to keep it that way. keeps the passion affordable, and at the same time, keeps wines like that "special," something i rarely open... plus it makes buying wines interesting... it's a debate - do i want 2 bottles of Caymus Special Selection or 6 bottles of Stag's Leap, etc...

2001 Peter Michael Chardonnays (Cuvee Indigene, Point Rouge)

Nice price!

I haven't bought much recently, although today I picked up a bottle of the January TAA, 2001 Elderton Shiraz.

1 bottle 1977 Taylor Port
1 bottle 1985 Ridge Montebello
1 bottle 1985 Grahams Port (in addition to the one my wife bought me this week)
2 bottles 1986 Lynch Bages
2 bottles 1989, Clerc Milon
1 bottle 1992 Forman Cabernet

Futronic,

I resisted the temptation on Christmas Eve - even with my brother in law pushing me - so I opened (among others) a 99 Pride Cab to shut him up. 3-5 years seems so long, but I know it will be worth it....
