Very good August result, aided by some sales.
Bought: +12
Sold: -20
Inventory: 0
Drank: -33
Net: -41 YAY!
September is going to be very different. We are traveling the entire month so consumption will be just the 6 bottles we have with us. Of course buying does not stop when on vacation.

Worst drinking month of the year. Too many days on the road.
September is a huge buying month with several winery releases pending.
+18 but -10
I’ll call the increased consumption a win. The purchases were a case of Scherrer Zin futures and some Peay Chardonnay after drinking an 8 year old bottle and remembering why I used to buy it

I don’t even know what I’m at, but I bought 9 bottles this week. Prior to that, I had not bought anything since January 30th. Yay me.

Not good. In: +18. Out: -10. Net: +8. YTD +72.
If I buy absolutely 0 for the rest of the year i can still have a net reduction for the year between consumption and gifting.
Another good month
Consumed 42
Purchased 26
Down to 1577 in cellar

Funny I thought 18 in and 10 out was great.

8 out, but 6-.375s on order, which counts as a only +3, right?
Right?
Another month of failure - the result is + 45. Next months need to be much better 
Down 201 bottles since I started my cellar reduction initiative 13 months ago, with a target of reducing with 500 bottles per year, not a huge success.
In what should have been a landslide month, I more than completely negated it.
BOUGHT: +174
CONSUMED: -41
SENT OFF TO CONSIGNMENT: -108
NET: +25
SINCE I STARTED in March 2025: +32

It’s not exactly making a dent in the cellar, but at least things aren’t getting worse.
The failure was the we had dreams of a Mostly Dry August. Oh well…

Should’ve been better, but at -5 for the month I’ll take the win and see if we can’t make it two months in a row for September!
