Default Re: Thinking of a small cellar

Thanks mosesbotl. And I was giving an extreme (but entirely possible) scenario on the case price. The option Is there if I need to go to that price range to get a suitable wine to age. I mean, I go through maybe 3 bottles of wine a week. But they are all regular everyday budget wines. I was mainly thinking about the small cellar for special occasion stuff. 2-4 bottles per year. I'm okay with $60ish per bottle for that. But it looks like I may not have to get into that bracket after all, judging by your post.

I guess my first step is to spend the coin on a nice aged bottle of cab, to see if I even like it. I don't think I've had a bottle recently older than 02-03.

I also really like the idea of finding a critic with a similar palate.

I was tossing the idea around last night after talking with my custom cabinet line about building a wine rack for me. They always give me an excellent deal on stuff for personal use.

Riddick, I will make a short list for you. You're right. The more info the better. Give me a bit to compile a list of likes/dislikes.
