@Doug Powers - Yet another commonality: We lived in Houston from ‘98-2012. One thing we don’t have in common is it’s rare I keep a wine too long, but your cellar sounds much bigger than mine so I cycle through quicker.

I wish more Conero reds from Marche made it over here. Volcanic soil, and when not spoiled by barrique aging (which a lot of the producers there now do), really good. I think Offida is a little south of Monte Conero.

I had some of that ‘82 also! (But I drank my ‘82s up quickly. They were too damn delicious young. Only a couple made it to 1990.)

@Tom Casagrande, yeah, but I had to pay retail for that 1982, you probably paid wholesale ($3??), for that price, you shoulda bought 2-3 cases, as this wine ages quite well!! 🤔🤷🍷

@Doug Powers - No, that one I paid retail for. I was still selling wholesale when it was released and it wasn’t in our portfolio, and hadn’t yet transitioned to retail. And back in those days, I couldn’t afford a case of anything! I did, however, arrange to split cases of a handful of ‘82 classified growth futures with friends.
