Vino I collect wine. That should say it all. I just bought a Thomasville wine cabinet of mahogany wood from Africa. It alone ran me $2,200. Sure worth it considering it has room for 12 wine glasses of significant value, 24 bottles of wine, and room for my whisky decanter and 21 y/o scotch. I have a ecletic collection ranging from French, California, North West, Canadian, and Japanese wines. I do NOT like Australian wines. They don't compare with the others for overall experience. They are dishwater. My first experience was in Sasebo, Japan where I was enjoying Chateaubrian with a 1986 lambrusco wine. It was a match made in heaven. Well, it took off from there, though I only enjoyed them at restaurants until I purchased my home and decided to collect great wines. My cabinet also has room for tall reslings, 2 draws for cigars and wine equipage, along with a large draw on the bottom for appropriate magazines on this subject matter. Let's chat about wine. What does it mean to you, what was your first experience, do you collect or just occasionally enjoy at a restaurant, do you ever have "wine in a box"? I have. I'd like to share that experience with you about that. Write to me please. Nothing aside from cigars and wine please. I'm looking for anything else here. Thank you.
