Why do you say that? These are nearly complete verticals of 3 of my favorite wines in all the world. I am proud of my collection and look forward to drinking every last bottle (at least of these wines).

Sorry, I wasn’t poking fun at you. It was just amusing the OP listed his verticals and several responses were quick to suggest 3 vintages of such and such wasn’t all that great. I don’t think that was the reaction he expected!

Hence the FAIL.

I don’t mind being amused if the conversation is constructive and interesting. While I’m certainly not bragging about the wines that I listed in the first post (excuse me… ), I’ve come a long way in my wine education the past several years. If only I had deep pockets.

I don’t own any verticals, but I get owned by my verticals turning to horizontals about once a week.
