| What is in your wine cabinet or wine cellar? What | | | | stating that your wine is yours and it is who you |
| do you collect and how many bottles of wine do | | | | are. Make the most of your collection and do |
| you collect? Wine collecting and drinking can be a | | | | what you love to do with it. I myself love to |
| form of art that many people take seriously as | | | | come home at the end of the day or if I'd been |
| well they should. Think about how many hobbies | | | | gone all day and enjoy a fine wine and typically |
| exist in the world is wine drinking any different? | | | | most of the bottle as I hate storing wine after its |
| Yes and no would probably be the most | | | | been opened because it damages the quality the |
| appropriate way to answer that. Wine collecting is | | | | longer it sits after being exposed to air. I know |
| a hobby but it also represents a life style and that | | | | some people are fine with it but I am picky when |
| life style is what you make it. | | | | it comes to that. However I will allow dust to |
| Your wine collection defines who you are by what | | | | gather on collected bottles of wine and that |
| you make it out to be. If you are a serious | | | | annoys some people. |
| collector and panic if someone even touches your | | | | Basically as you probably have drawn a conclusion |
| collection or if you break a bottle by accident and | | | | now of who you are with your wine collection |
| don't care that is still who you are. You could | | | | you will see its perfectly fine to be the way you |

| winery or the top 100 wine list for any given. | | | | to someone else's rules because they say thats |
| Although I still hope that you are drinking some of | | | | the right way to do things. However do listen |
| your collection and not just hording it so that one | | | | when it make sense to. For instance never leave |
| day it will be useless. What good is a bottle of | | | | a bottle sitting without a stopper in the top of it |
| wine if you cannot enjoy it at one point. There is | | | | or into a vacuum storage decanter. Now thats |
| however a sweet reward in drinking a wine that | | | | just sound advice and not a preference unless |
| has aged longer than some of our children | | | | you love stale wine then by all means enjoy that. |
| because its been groomed and nurtured for its life | | | | Make the most of what you love and what you |
| and is ready. Now I'm not saying you should kill | | | | prefer in your collection and enjoy what you are |
| your wine collection every week either by drinking | | | | doing. If my hobbies ever became stressful I'd |
| 80% of your stash but to drink it in moderation | | | | stop altogether. Just love what you are doing and |
| or if an event calls for such a bottle opening. | | | | be who you are with your wine collection. |
| There is also no wrong way to collect wine again | | | | |
