My recent additions to my "wine collection" and I use that term pretty loosely as I would still consider myself a neophyte as far as a wine collector goes, but here they are:

12 x 2006 Bodegas LAN Crianza Rioja

6 x 2005 Bodegas LAN Reserva Rioja

2 x 2009 Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon

2 x 2009 J.Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon

1 x 2010 Joel Gott Sauvignon Blanc

A few recent acquisitions 1980s bottlings of Glenfiddich 15 and 18. 1980s bottling of Macallan 12 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My summer planned trip to Cuba was scuppered so I did the next best thing... a whisky buying trip/tour of Scotland! Had a great week with a mix of rain and glorious sunshine. Some great pick ups too -

Blanton's gold US release

Mate just got

6x Wendouree Shiraz 2002

6x Mount Mary Quintet 2001

Hurt a little $$ wise but worth the search and the $$s

Just waiting for the old man to deliver and praying he let's them go. Fathers with the same taste can sometimes cause lost bottles.

Cheers Nic

A bottle of Portuguese Red which I drank and enjoyed - unfortunately, I didn't mark down the producer, and it was one I've not had before.

A bottle of 2006 Ferrando Carema White Label - drunk and enjoyed.

A bottle of 2006 ERPACRIFE sparkling Italian nebbiolo - never had it before, and really looking forward to it.

Got a hold of a bottle of Zacapa 23 finally, and grabbed another bottle of Maker's Mark because mine disappeared at a BBQ the other day...

I've got another bottle of Zacapa 23 and a bottle of Flor de Cana 12 en route as well.

Thank you! Yeah, Swift makes some great wines, and I plan on adding in a bottle of Mercury Head today. I called a couple of local wine stores and they have 2 bottles, I may just splurge and grab them both.

Over the weekend I added:

6 x 2007 Marramiero Inferi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

My uncle was in town so I went to go see him. He pulled out a bottle of Crown Royal but I noticed the bottle had a black label and the whisky looked much darker. Turns out Crown Royal just released it last year and is called "Crown Royal Black". This whisky was hands down some of the best I have ever had. I will be picking up a bottle today on my way home!

Well I didn't wait until going home. I took a stroll at lunch and picked up a bottle of Crown Royal Black whisky, Myers's rum, and coconut flavoured Malibu rum which is good for mixing and what not.

Right, thats about 100$ less than I've seen it...Congrats on the pickup...how many people can I be jealous of in one day?..lol

Ya, spot hooks me up. Especially when you pay cash.(blue lable $120) I think the most I dropped in there in 1 month was about 10g's. When i checked out people around me where looking at me as if I was crazy.... so many much money for so little bottles....
