September: 13 out, 12 in - net 1 decrease. Yay! Got some Tidings, Desire Lines and purchased some interesting old bottles (1982 Ridge York Creek among other things) from a random acquaintance. That was it.
Q3: 39 out, 36 in - net 3 decrease, 1/month. Finally a quarterly reduction again, it’s been years (I think). Now going for the annuall, but that’s a stretch - more than a case in the hole right now.
Success once again!
In: +8

We put together a 6 bottle gift pack for a friend, so that helped with the consumption numbers despite a lot of travel, and some nights drinking sake, which we don’t track.
Failure.

Another bad month, but done with known allocations and now it’s just resisting every other offer (and stuff I generally want to get). Along with a cold that worked its way around the family, there wasn’t a huge appetite to drink.

Good trends.
I bought almost nothing last month, which is a good thing. McDonald and a couple others but no real quantities, and trying to keep it that way.
31st October here is NZ

About as good as can be expected under the circumstances
I see it’s been over 5 years since I last posted in this thread. I was doing so well, less than a case per year.
Let this be a Halloween warning to all Berserkers: no matter how long you think you have things under control, you are never completely free of the ghost of wine buying disorder.
Drank: 11
Bought: 100
I would like to say in my defense that my wife encouraged the purchases, but that accounts for only about a third of it. Once you start…
Bought 31
Consumed 30
With the holidays coming up, I expect less buying and more consuming

Should be mostly done for the year. Waiting for an email from Ketan….
net minus one for the month again… in my defense, it would have been a great month if I didn’t get an offer of a case and a half Kalin chards at cost

Thought id make it through year with no purchases except white wines that don’t count but just got Kinsman email

Richter’s 2024s were the problem. And I was out of town a bunch.
18 in, six out.
Finally a success in October

+26 for October Bedrock release, Richter and Steinmetz '24 releases, and that Rhone/Loire cellar drop on WineBid did me in.
That puts me into triple digits for the year at +110. Not good.
Let the holiday drinking commence!
