August: 16 out, 10 in - net 6 decrease. A much needed, resounding win. This once again confirms that getting together with fellow geeks and opening bottles is the solution :-). Now on to holding the line in September for a net negative quarter.

Had the best month for thinning the āherdā since I sold wine last year:
Minus 21 for the month (not much fun buying wine when you canāt ship)
Minus 66 for the year, which is on track to get to minus 100 for the year

Iāll do way better next month.
Net for August - Flat. A push. Zero. Zip. Bupkis. Nada. Not a sausage. This reduction thing is harder than it looks.

This month is tough, as Fall offers have started coming in. I had been running about even, but a few modest purchases have put me at +21 for the year. But putting those aside I had been at -8 . . . and expect to get back in that direction as purchases fall off in the coming weeks.
Ok summer recap.
1 in and 26 out. Not quite the lush (or youngster) David is.

2 tastings, and I brought wine to three summer parties.
Another tasting tomorrow.
Two consumed, none bought. The standard BFD.
