Storage was at crisis level in like February. Now, it’s full blown panic.

Much easier to keep buying stuff when storing it is someone else’s problem!

I am once again reminded that it is impossible to pick a shipping date 3-4 months out. Thank goodness for “hold for pickup.”

I’ve been doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out how I’m going to fit all of my fall deliveries when I know I didn’t have the space when I made the orders

Weather here in Las Vegas has finally dropped into the 70’s so my shipments are being taken off hold.

The hardest step is figuring out when wife will be out so contraband can be snuck into house without detection/recrimination.

I appreciate that I am not alone in my anxieties and foolishness. I pray we can all fit our purchases that we thought “I’ll have drank some space by then.”

In addition to the various symptoms mentioned above, I also wrestle with feelings of guilt over my delivery drivers being presented with a bunch of heavy cases of wine to carry to my front doorstep on any single day. I’ve got PGC shipping have of my eight cases one week and then shipping the other half at some later date.
Added to all of this, my street (which actually is the “business” route for I-25, running through our small city) has been under construction since late May of this year. This week they finally have all but the last layer of new asphalt laid down . . . and the weather here is starting to cool down, so final layer(s) may be stalled - hoping the delivery trucks will be able still to pull right up out front of my house:

Wife was out or working when my last 3 shipments arrived. Dodged 3 bullets there. I have a friend who was conveniently in Paso last week who muled my Tablas Creek wines up. Those were covertly and quickly ushered into storage. Bucklin and Sandlands next up.

Wow, am I ever glad not to have a wife!

Yeah, I’ve always found the talk of hiding purchases from wives odd. It’s a good reason for keeping separate checking accounts.

Never say never, Sarah! 
You are lucky to have an enabling spouse in Jonathan.

You might not say I’m so lucky if you saw the sometimes disastrous results of two wine buyers in the house! Disastrous to the credit card, anyway.

I would be delighted if my wife was interested in buying wine. Unless… have you ever both bought the same thing and wound up with twice what you wanted?
I’m happy as it is that she enjoys wine and will tell me what to buy more of. She used to ask when we were going to drink it all back when I was in the rapid accumulation phase and we had almost three times the number of bottles we have now. Never felt compelled to hide purchases.
The cellar’s been steady state for the last 6-7 years. I did go a bit overboard reloading on some of her favorites and trying some new stuff this year. We’ll see what happens when the boxes start showing up at the end of the month.
This!
My wife just gave me a hard time last week that I still have some wine boxes in the “man cave” - she calls it that, not me - unpacked. I will concede. They’ve been sitting there for a long time, since last shipping season. And now more shipments are coming soon…
