Reporting in for Jan and Feb, 2026. I was off line much of early Feb trapsing across Alaska and Yukon helping family move from Haines to Fairbanks, AK. Very cold and not so fun driving.
Anyway:
January, 2026
Purchased: 12 (BD17 only purchases)
Consumed: 30
Net : -18
February, 2026
Purchased: 0 (we did buy and consume a few bottles/boxes in Alaska, but not tracked)
Consumed: 15
Net: -15
YTD:
Purchased: 12
Consumed: 45
Net: -33
A few spring club shipments are hitting already for early March, but I did drop/decline one club, and have cut back on a couple others (6 bottles per shipment instead of 12, for example). Need to keep trimming, and stay on the Moratorium wagon.

A confession session for January and February, can’t even explain it away with a break drinking any alcohol. The worst is that I’m not even really sorry, happy with the wines! Have perhaps 3 more planned orders for the year…
Back to some sort of discipline for rest of the year.
In: +50
Out: - 26
Total = + 24

It’s the unplanned ones that will kill you…

I know Chris, discipline discipline… hanging around this site is probably one of the best character training!
On a separate note, you’d be happy to see some of the bottles that found their way home 
Interesting. I’ve found that hanging around this site is the worst methods for inventory reduction.

So tell me what you got so I can start worrying about what I don’t have. 
Not sure I want to be responsible for a shopping spree in this thread

Just had three more Weinboxes delivered.
Left a message for my therapist . . . who hasn’t returned any of my calls and apparently believes I am beyond help.
She may be onto something . . . .

I think I just need to drink down some of my larger holdings. Like many, I just fell into habits of buying certain producers that I like but then end up with too many bottles for my own good. Lately, I have been working on my Rochioli collection. I mean I occasionally like a bottle of new world Pinot - especially with Sushi but I don’t need 120 bottles! And must stop buying!!!
