Starting a Collection

[Gabe]

Hi everyone!
I just found this site and have read the posts back a few months and think this is the best place to post these questions.

I have enjoyed drinking wine for a long time. I recently consumed a $60 (the most I have ever spent) bottle of '97 Cab (Conn Valley Estate Reserve) that I thought was great. I did it 'right' with the crystal cab glasses and was a very exciting and enjoyable experience. As a result, I have had the urge to start a wine collection (50-100 bottle).

Any suggestions on the best way to get started? When completed, I would like to have wines that can be consumed now, 3-5 years, 5-10 years, and 10-20 years.

TIA
Rich
