No, too risk-averse. Looking for wine bargains, sure. That's my limit.

Since most importers lock in exchange about a year ahead you may be waiting a while.

That's OK. Plenty of wine, plenty of time. Although vs. last year when I bought 29 bottles in support of small vintners during CV19, this year it's been just one case. Not too shabby on ahem...restraint.

I bought three cases in just the last week! No restraint here.

Yeah. 2020 and 2021 have been gangbusters for me. Inventory is skyrocketing.

I go on tangents. Yesterday's tangent: Italian white wines. So much good stuff under $20, it's hard to say no--especially when the temps hit 90F.

For the first time, my cellar is looking extremely packed, with bottles strewn everywhere. I need to start cleaning things up and stop adding more. Easier said than done, of course...
