I set up a filter on my e-mail so all the wine buying e-mails are going into a folder, which I generally just delete every now and then, but I can still look at if I want. But they aren't showing up in my inbox now.
I must admit I laughed quite a bit over this. As Svein said, these are truly 1st world problems. [help.gif]

And now I'm 25 bottles up on the end of last year. Isn't it really annoying the way bottles keep forcing their way into the corners of your cellar when your back is turned. The most recent addition to the port cellar are some of Quevedo's 2014 closure experiment cases.

Some of you are obviously suffering with a luxury problem. :wink:

I am not sure if that is the case. Maybe we are just quite a bit older than you. [shok.gif]
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

Since posting this I've opened 8 bottles from my cellar and managed to get it down to being only 23 up from where I was at the end of last year. Tonight's bottle was Faustino I 1998 and was absolutely superb.

In celebration of Graham's declaring the 2015 Stone Terraces, I ordered 3 more bottles of 2011 Graham's Stone Terraces. D'ohh!

Not counting the last buying op I'm still down for the year, so I'm making (very slow) progress!
