How many bottles do you have?

[James Roscoe]

I think I need Kelly's phone number!

I am somewhere south of 200, not that it matters.
I could drink it all tomorrow!

4200 give or take - fluctuates depending on how thirsty or cheap I am being in a given month.

Between zero and one depending on the evening. I decided a while back that I have too much material possessions, so I decided to get rid of books, CDs and wine to pare back to essentials. My books and CDs hardly diminished, but my wine collection became completely depleted.

About 2000 and same as othes, with shipments and other companies, holding wine, thsi could be plus or minus 100-200 bottle.s

I maintiain about 800 (not counting chard, which I think of as bottles of spring water), virtually all Bordeaux, because that is the capacity of my cooling units. If they could hold double, I would probably fill them up. Can't stand to see an empty slot. It provides sense of security and well-being to know I will always have enough to leave Las Vegas with.

Is this one of those "mine's-bigger-than-yours" posts??

Mine's definitely not bigger, but it gets used frequently.

Funny!!

No where near as many as I would like but more than my wife thinks is necessary. Maybe if I move the keepers to a storage facility I can convince her that I have cut back?

How many bottles do you have?

Hi Abe,

I have 118 bottles in my cellar. Not a lot, just enough so that I can match about any dish we are having for dinner with a decent bottle of wine.

I have enough bottles that I regularly stumble onto a bottle that I didn't know I had. That's feels kind of like finding a five dollar bill in my coat pocket.

That's a good idea, kinda what I want to build up to in the short term.

Too many and not enough.

I have something like the Imelda Marcos shoe syndrome. I've run out of shelf space and cases are stacked on the cellar floor but still I can't find anything to pour for dinner.

according to cellartracker, 588 bottles.

oops, that's just the mosels.

I might have screwed up. I bought a lot of 1999 Bordeaux and didn't drink many of them. Lately, I am finding them more mature than I would have hoped for at this stage. It seems to me that modern style Bordeaux are maturing quite a bit faster than the more traditional styled bottles used to.

I'm talking in generalities. I know that different vintages mature at much different rates.

1999 is a rapidly maturing vintage Covert. Even traditional style wines like Sociando are coming around quickly.

I had better get on with them, then, and if they start getting too far out ahead of me, I will have to throw a big picnic.

480...wait...479

Fives are the new ones.

Maureen, so good to see you once again.

About 640 down from a high of 800 at one time. Gotta get rid of that old crap.

How many bottles do I have....?

20 or so.

Mine is a "working" collection. Can't afford much else.

About 100

I see you posted this at 10:04 a.m. You forgot to deduct breakfast?

If you need help, just let me know. I stand at the ready to assist in special cases like yours. All I need is enough time to get a cheap ticket and some clean underwear. I usually bring my own cork-screw and stemware!

Somewhere just north of 2000.

That is up a bunch from a few years ago, isn't it? I have managed to bring my cellar numbers down somewhat but still have too many bottles, but I keep working on it.
