Status: offline 		I'm trying real hard to keep my cellar from overflowing, as there's no other place in the house or at work suited for keeping wine.
For a while this summer I kept it below 450 bottles, then this fall I went up to 470, and now I'm creeping upwards again.
No Moratorium though, I have my sights set on some classified growths at the local Total Wine.

Maybe should classify these Clape as grape juices or nutritious drinks.

We haven't been buying much wine at all. Watching the bucks.

Two & a half years of elder care giving hasn't dulled our desire for wine, though. When we started this, I think there were in excess of 350 bottles in our cellar.

Right now, I think there might be 60 bottles.

1) 60 bottles is a snap to inventory.
2) You can find a bottle in an instant.
3) You get to have a bunch of fun hunting when the time comes.

That's what I'm counting on. I need to take my laptop down & just go through things, one by one.

There will be a bunch of "missing presumed drunk". A few I'll be able to track when we consumed because I tried to take a label photo every time I've opened a bottle.

Just remembered there are about 20 bottles left in the wine refrigerator at our house. Will have to inventory those as well (and perhaps move them down here to Mom's place).

Status: offline 		Does sending some funds to a fellow CT member for a few bottles get me booted out of here? This fine gentleman offered me some older vintages from a brand I was hoping to try, so it's more of a mercy offering "care package". Technically, I paid for wine that was resold to me, so I guess I'm outta here.

Like Harry Kalas used to day "OUTTA HERE!". It's only 4 bottles, and they should ship Monday, so I doubt that should even be listed as pending.

I am also trying to change my buying habits for 2018, fewer winery direct purchases to free up money for more French and Italian purchases.

New exception? If they're arriving so fast that they don't need to be listed as pending. I'm good with that.

Status: offline 		Last time we moved, I hired a local guy who did some gardening work for us, rented a Hertz truck, and we loaded it bottle by bottle, marked each case with contents, etc. It was way less horrible than I expected. I was nervous about potholes (Hertz trucks have terrible suspension) but in fact nothing bad happened.

Then on arrival, we organized the boxes into the same sequence we had used when putting the wine into them, and unloaded back into the new cellar without losing the organization.

Ouch. Several of our dedicated wine friends have moved to California for work in the industry, so we'd come visit you two as part of a Week o' Wine out West.

Besides, imagine how much you'll save on shipping! .... unless you start ordering more from B-21.
