Thank you God or Bacchus

[wondersofwine]

The God of wine must have been looking out for me this past weekend. I was removing a Volnay from the wine cooler to drink over the weekend and thought the pile was pretty stable. I turned my back to set the Volnay on the counter and heard a rush of tumbling bottles. Four or five bottles hit the dining room floor and none were broken! They included a Kosta Browne Pinot Noir, a Kurt Darting Beerenauslese, a 2001 Muller Catoir, and a Brunello di Montalcino (none of which I am willing to sacrifice.)
