Who are these people, I want to meet them!

On the total contrary– So few people keep wine long enough! Maybe it seems too long if it has dumbed out for a few years, or if someone is holding their Yellowtail until it “matures”, but very few US wine geeks come close to holding their juice.

Cellartracker is a great tool and if you hold any wine, there is no excuse not to use it. Even if just for insurance purposes.

Hold yer juice and step into the tertiary!

(to add to the Rush- I’m typing this from downtown YYZ, up in the Great White North)

The article on Ged’s wine cellar came out a few years ago I think, I found a reprint of it here: http://www.greatrecrooms.com/tabid/97/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/95/A-Wine-Cellar-That-Rocks.aspx

Cheers!

I think I’m aligned with you on the subject- it seems like work to me at this point and if it’s work why do it, right? I think there’s got to be a tipping point where ones collection becomes so large that it becomes worthwhile to track the stuff. Like with RSS feeds- until recently I didn’t see the point- I could just do a FireFox Live Bookmark and cruise around checking for updates to my favoite blogs. But somewhere around 10 or 20 blogs you’re following you need a feed reader. Might the same be true with cellar tracking?

I’ve got a wine refrigerator that claims to hold 260 bottles (though it probably only holds 150 with rolling shelves). It’s full and I don’t feel like I need to manage my wine. Maybe if I had 2000 bottles I’d feel differently.

PS I’m a big fan of Rush too- do you have a link to the article about Geddy Lee’s wine collection?

I have the same system too! Except mine tells her what is for our consumption and what is for review.
