Anybody ever lose wine?

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

Stocked wine cellar and no locked doors…your address, please?

This has happened to me a bunch of times - causing me to eventually use the option “missing, presumed drunk” on Cellartracker.

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.

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

Bruce:
I mentioned the points in the context that a 99 point first growth is gonna cost a couple of bucks, and you’d think I’d remember buying it. When I reviewed the TN’s, RMP compared it to the 85 which I found to be a lovely wine, so I can see WHY I bought it, just don’t remember actually doing it.

But we have an alarm system…hunting dogs and a variety of other associated accouterments. Besides, someone is always here.

If someone wants to break in and steal my wine, I am outta here.

Bob–I do hope you realize my comment was meant very tongue-in-cheek. On those occasions when I’ve found wine in my cellar I didn’t realize I had, I do look it up: did I find a valuable diamond, or just another *&^%$#! bottle I’ll simply have to drink and enjoy…?

This is exactly the reason that option exists! It’s always been my favorite due to it being kind of a double entendre…“presumed drunk” is a fair assumption if i’ve lost track of the bottle.

I got lucky on that one no less … I’m just not that witty, trust me.

That is funny.

One child, too young, also, no possible way on that…I lock it if kids are around and they don’t know how to use a corkscrew.

Hopefully, they will turn up as others on the thread have had lost bottles show up in hidden cellar corners.

[Blake_J_o_h_n_s_o_n]

with my own cellaring begun a meer three years ago, I know I’ve already lost 2-3 bottles. Of course all my wine is kept in my aunt’s cellar because my apartment closet isn’t the best place.

Chock it up to “storage fee” i guess.

[J_a_y_H_a_c_k]

2 bottles 1975 Conseillante. I know they’re in there somewhere. I also lost a bottle of 2002 Pahlmeyer and a few other items in the Memphis airport, but they were stolen.

[Ken_V]

I did a pretty thorough inventory this winter, but still can’t find one box. This box contain(ed?):

1 1992 Churchill Porto Vintage Quinta da Agua Alta
1 1992 Fonseca Porto Vintage
1 1997 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage
1 1992 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage
1 1985 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage
1 1980 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage
6 1995 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage Quinta de Vargellas

No way that I accidentally drank these.
