Not a bad start to the year. Hell, I’d be happy if that was my first quarter take.

Heck - I’d be happy if I had ROOM for them in my cellar! flirtysmile

Never buying wine again, damnit!

You’re an animal, Buzz. Save something for me for May!

Going crazy with Italians this year…headed to Tuscany for the first time ever in Oct!!!

Day two…stil nothing … [wow.gif]

I bought a few bottles of 83 Lagrange (pomerol) first thing this morning.

A free shipping offer and 10 percent discount got the better of me, so I bought one of each of these:

2012 Matthiasson White Blend Napa Valley
2012 Rivers Marie Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
2012 Jolie Laide Grenache/Syrah Red Blend Sonoma
2011 Enfield Wine Tempranillo Shake Ridge Vineyard Amador

Err, a buying freeze for 2 more weeks…still climbing out of Q4 purchases. Rivers-Marie and Carlisle are this month, maybe Rhys too.

do you live in a tent? There can’t be money left for rent or mortgage.

I am proud of myself for resisting till 5 pm and bought just 3 b of wine.

You’re on pace for almost 11,000 bottles this year!! That’s a serious haul.

My first purchases have been Italian as well. Technically 12/31/14, but close enough to call 2015.
2009 G Rinaldi Barolo Le Coste. x1.
2009 G Rinaldi Barolo Canubi San Lorenzo. x4.
2010 G. Mascarello Barolo Santo Stefano di Perno. x6.
2010 G. Mascarello Barolo Villero. x6.

Alan, it is the closest you can get to drinking whilst on call so your purchase is excused.
