Anybody ever lose wine?

WINE TALK
#1

I must be going crazy. Somehow I lost wine. Has this happened to anyone else?

I bought some new racking, I had 6 bottles of wine set off to the side in a shipper.

I know I did not drink them…2 bottles each of 59 Lynch Bages, 82 Certan de May, 82 GPL.

Driving me crazy because I don’t have that much old wine anymore and I know they did not pass my lips.

Maybe they were “archived” when you were sleeping? [pillow-fight.gif]

#3

Wife does’t drink and never goes into my cellar.

#4

Do you reside near Philly?? [wink.gif]

#5

Maybe I threw them out.

Nothing like this has happened to me.

I really wanted to put one into the bullpen.

#6

Yes and it is never locked, but we are armed.

Maybe, it was “pruned”

#7

It happened to me with 2 bottles. A really old Madeira and a mag of Swithcback PS. I’ve torn through the cellar several times but can’t find either.

#8

I have a buddy who says the older you get the memory ain’t what it was. He said after 60 you can hide your own easter eggs! blahblah

#9

It has happened to me, and usually they turn up in an unexpected corner a year or two down the road.

Heck, sometuimes it works the other way. I had two bottles of 2000 Pavie. Last year I decided to put them in the same place. it turned out I had three bottles. When did that happen? 2 months ago, I found a 2003 Marguax in my cellar. I still don’t remember buying that one at all. And it is a 99 point first growth. [smileyvault-ban.gif]

And the maddening thing, you’d know if you drank it.

I tore through the cellar twice.

Unless I put it into an old wooden case and closed it up perfectly making it look like an unopened case, which would never happen with my case opening and fastening skills.

#11

Well, at least I am closer to 50 than 60.

#12

I’m missing 8 bottles that CT says are in the cellar, and I can’t find them.
I KNOW I didn’t drink them.

Frustrating!!!

#13

thankfully it’s the opposite that aways happens to me… I discover wine that I completely forgot that I had!

#14

It probably took 9 months or so.

#15

Might be “vandalism.” [whistle.gif]

So you’re admitting that you’re a “point-chaser” for wines you’ve unexpectedly found in your cellar? [Gasp].

My cellar inventory, ahem, isn’t as up-to-date as it might be. Thus, there are times when I can’t find something I thought I had. But like Matt, it’s usually finding things I didn’t write down yet.

Do you have a cleaning lady? I’ve had a couple bottles disappear and that was about the only thing I could think of.

#19

You mean someone hit the delete button? [dance-clap.gif]
[rofl.gif]

(Deleting posts over there is considered vandalism. I committed that high crime recently on a relatively few, select posts)

No cleaning lady. I did have some work done in the basement recently adjacent to the wine cellar, but I doubt. I just searched again…they are gone…I could see throwing out a box with one bottle in it but not six, plus, we recycle shipper cardboard.

I don’t lock the doors, ever. Maybe someone came in.
