Hi Dinwiddle and my welcome to the board. Most of your advice I agree with. However I deeply disagree with your last paragraph of advice. The reason to buy good wines is the ability to DRINK it in the future and enjoy it in the company of friends. I personally never buy a wine as an instrument of investment. I've enjoyed with my many friends hundreds of bottles of 82 Bordeauxs' from my cellar and never once have I thot what the wine was selling for. I remember that I paid 40 bucks for 82 Lafite, Mouton, Latour, Haut Brion, and Margaux and have the satisfaction of opening a wonderful bottle of wine that by todays standards is cheap for my friends and I to enjoy. As has been stated on this forum many times..." Stocks are for investing, Wine is for Enjoying " WW
