Wine Lovers Holiday Wish List

[David M. Bueker]

Self control in wine shops.

An honest to goodness area of the garage, walled off, insulated, and turned into a proper cellar.

My wife's blessing to cut down more trees so that I can plant more vines.

After a single guest broke 3 Riedel glasses in a single night: a set of Tritan glasses for use at parties.

Mark Lipton

A scholarship for Robin's next group trip to France or Italy.

A new wine press.

Mark,
How about a nice big sleeve of 16 oz. plastic beer cups for this "special" guest? I suspect there is an ample supply of these in Laugh-a-lot.

Self control in wine shops.

Oh come on David! Even small children ask for less unlikely presents

Yes - and indeed more self-control in 'stumbling' across wine shops (not that one prepares on visiting a new town/city )

Mine is really farfetched:
A house with room to store wine and build a wine cellar. The one bedroom apartment isn't exactly wine aging friendly.

I'm sure Mom would be glad to gift you one of those.

Cut down trees....?

My gift would be for a 1990 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon or a 1990 Groth Cabernet Sauvignon.


A 1988 French Bordeaux Gran Cru would be just fine, too.


I'm easy

My sister's birthday gift to me was the money to buy a nice decanter.
I would like for the holidays to stumble upon a sudden source of reasonably priced, well stored 1990, 2002 and 2005 red Burgundies.

A scholarship for Robin's next group trip to France or Italy.

+ 2 (one for me, one for my daughter)

Wall to wall to wall to wall Eurocaves ....all with full pull out racks!!

terrazo flooring in my cellar and

Most importantly time to enjoy a nice bottle once in a while with good friends.

I recently stumbled along a wine sale for burgundies and there was a case of 1990 Rossignol-Trapet Beaune Teurons 1990......$40 a bottle. Not sure if they are any good but picked up the whole lot.

Michael K,
Congrats on your find. I hope the Beaune Teurons are delightful. Report back when you open one.

I have one Eurocave but my wine collection has outgrown its capacity by about double.

[Jenise]

Ten cases of each of the 2005 First growths. Oh heck, why think small? Make that 50.

Me too. Me too.

Ditto that, but in lieu I'll accept a 260 bottle capacity Eurocave.

Water and sewage lines to our toolshed cellar where I make my wine.

Yeah, sure Dan! Then the next thing you'll want is a pulley system to lift the carboys.

What would you wish for as a gift for yourself, a wine and food lover?

Château d Yquem 1988 - Jeroboam

I'd gladly take any vintage of Yquem!

As Howie knows, my handy son-in-law Fred rigged up said pulley system a few years ago. It's great. No more carrying carboys up and down the stairs, and running the risk of dropping them.

Fred will be here again in a few days for Thanksgiving. Maybe I can interest him in a little plumbing job.

My wish list, any of those Muscadets you guys on the east coast brag about!!!
OH...and access to Davids German wine cellar.
