A few of my fellow students at the CIA this summer asked for a copy of my “wine list” at home and regrettably I never got around to sending it (though it changes weekly so it’s hard to keep it updated frequently enough). Some are aging, some might not be here next week, but here is what is downstairs in the wine cellar and upstairs in the little wine fridge:

Pardon the squished formatting . . . sometimes ya gotta work with what you have. I also realize some of these wines are past their prime — don’t worry, they’ll be consumed very soon! Many of these were gifts, many picked up on local wine tasting outings, a good number purchased at the Wine Library. As always looking for recommendations!
Yes!
