First half of the year continue to buy too much to really reduce the cellar. Down 8 bottles net for Jan-June. Still trying to get the cellar down 75 by year end. Summer parties may help, but summer berserker day will definitely hurt….

I’m incredibly impressed.
Continuing to be impressive for June!

Slowly, but surely. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to make a noticeable difference.

Q2: 39 out, 48 in - net 9 increase, 3/month. Same average as Q1, need to bend the curve in Q3.

June was looking to be a great month up until I plowed some consignment proceeds into a stack of daily drinkers.
-
BOUGHT: +108
-
OPENED: -53

NET: +55

SINCE I STARTED in March 2025: +181
+12 for June. Second (and worst) increase of the year, and second in a row. A few annual purchases all bunched in June this year so shouldn’t be a trend (I hope). July will bring a Bedrock offer for which I hope to show restraint (but not abstinence), and hopefully little else, and we’ll be back on track.
-12 YTD (Much better than this time last year but for six months that’s not really going to cut it)

Down 8 for the month. Seems low, but that’s what CellarTracker is telling me.
Started reduction plan March 21st and down a total of 57 since then.

Two clean months in a row. Dropped another wine club knowing I have plenty of wine, and when I run low, I can buy more!
June; In- ZERO, Out- 39 (thirsty month with a few family gatherings), Net - minus 39
2026: In - 80, Out - 151, Net minus 71! Almost 6 cases and I can almost see the floor of my wine cellar.

minus 9 for the month… was trending great until Kobayashi (drank 4 different in the past week to confirm my love of the winery).
minus 31 for the year at the midway point, short of my goal of -50 since i want to thin the herd by 100 a year
