Thank you all again for your comments and input.

The main reason for starting a collection is mostly for my own enjoyment. As I mentioned, I am a Guinness drinker at heart. I went through the micro-brew craze with everyone in the mid 90's, but ended up falling for the "G". Although it is not something that I can open and plan on being hit with a new flavor, I do enjoy it.

I worked in a classy restaurant as a kid and found myself intrigued with the way the owner would get excited when he found a rare bottle or case at an auction or a supplier. I tried a few glasses and before I knew it, I was hooked.

Please do not get me wrong, I enjoy the wines that I have found and there are a few I love. But I am more or less looking to expand on my own personal selection and thought, like most people, the more you spend the better the wine. I would like to buy a few bottles to put away for special occasions later in life, but my main mission here is simply to expand my own taste and knowledge on wines.

Again, thank you all for your time and input.

John
