Hi Gabe and welcome to the board. Glad you find our lil' ole' group worthy. Drew gave you some very solid points. My only expsansion on this is the same advice I give to anyone getting into storing wine. First and foremost, make sure your storage facilities will carry the wine safely for the time you want to cellar it. Find several reliable wine merchants in your area and attend all of their tastings and seminars. Read as many publications as you can No matter how many knocks you see on this board about the various mags, they all have a lot of knowlrdge behind them. Catalogue the wines you like in your memory banks. Nothing is as important than defining what you like and then buying it. It's amazing how fast you'll make buying decisions. Then ten years later you'll make the wine-lovers lament' If Id'a only bought More ". WW
