Nice! Happy to help out your September goals and thank you!
My goal is to get back on the other thread for the rest of the year

Found a 2000+ bottle cellar on FB marketplace for next to nothing so I’m looking to start expanding, my current bottles are dwarfed by the space. Think I can add about a case per month net.

Nice to have a place to talk about cellar expansion. Q4 to date. Of the bottles I enter into CT (all but a very few "daily drinkers’):
October: In 47 out 17. Net +30
November: In 4, out 10. Net -6
I’m fine with these numbers, for this time of year. I’ll likely be making some more purchases by tomorrow night, but I’ll count those in December.
A thought: there’s more to expansion than sheer net growth, right? It’s about what we’re trying to make of our cellars. Design plans. My focus of growth these days is on Nebbiolo and Riesling, and Pinot Noir. I fond myself trying to balance backfill and new vintages. I think a lot about how new bottles will age, how I plan to consume them. I like design thinking and it’s an enjoyable pastime.

Lots of deliveries, lots of drinking around the holiday.

Unfortunately the 17 bottles are some of the nicest bottles I’ve ever owned. Rip my bank account
