So I came into 2014 with a total of 305 ‘sweet wines’ in my cellar. This is a 60 year supply as I drink a max of 5 bottles a year. Maybe 5. Probably 3.
My goal was to lighten up using CC and also a few friends who wanted a little bit of sauternes.
I’m ending 2014 with 176 bottles in the cellar, a reduction of 42%. Sold off 127 bottles, they went to good homes.
Drank 2. A slow year.
At 176 bottles, I have a shot to use them up in my lifetime, even if only 5 bottles per year!
And never again will I be tempted by the next ‘great’ sauternes vintage. Never!!
Moral of the CC story, price items fairly and they will move.
