No, but plenty liked to dress in vinyl.

You only have one bookcase, Jeff? It is only at Jean's insistence that our house isn't lined with bookcases. As it is, I've still got a half dozen in the "study" upstairs (an unused bedroom) and another half dozen scattered through the rest of the house. You've got us beat by two harpsichords, though (I suppose you could say that we have two pianos if you include the Yamaha electric, but that hardly seems fair given the discussion here).

What's the exchange rate between keyboard instruments and bookshelves?
Wow, I feel so fulfilled!originally posted by Roger LaMarque:

Lucky you, in Ditmas Park. So close to Purple Yam!
I owe you at least $3 for the Loire notes. Next time you're in town I'll treat you to a single Korean Meatball.

Cellar? I hardly know her.I typically shop at the same NYC stores and drink mostly the same wines reflected in the Disorderly Zeitgeist. Boring, I know. I happily moved to Ditmas Park this year and bid goodbye to my much loved (reviled?) Coat Closet of Wine. I turned the root cellar in the new basement into a wine cellar and now I spend my free time hugging it. The question: now that I have the damn thing, what do I do with it? Other than buy cases and cases of 2009 Gamay while laughing maniacally. Seriously, do people buy cases of their favorites to enjoy over the next decade? Or perhaps do they buy 2 or 3 bottles of recommended bottles and enjoy them over time? The sudden shift from a buy/uncork/drink/sigh drinker to someone with space has left me stunned. I'm sure I'll figure it out over time but that wouldn't give anyone the opportunity to pile it on. And where's the fun in that?
I think this depends on where you are in your cycle.
I used to buy in pairs.
I now never buy less than 6 bottles for the cellar unless I have no other choice (allocation). I buy single bottles to drink soon all the time.
Be careful not to get carried away with a vintage or region. This happened to me with 1996 Barolo.
Happened to me with 2002 Vouvray, but I'm OK with that.originally posted by VLM:

Not even close to the same. I bought broadly and sometimes too modernly. You bought from maybe 3 domains.
BTW, had a sensational Haut-Lieu Demi last night. Francesca thought it too sweet though. Italians...
...and two harpsichords...
Does anybody really need 2 harpsichords??

Was that the 2002? I opened one a couple of weeks ago and it was all lightness and air, and so different from the Bourg I've been consuming up till then. I thought it paled compared to Bourg ds.

Of course. You need the bentside spinet for the English works and the blue and gold-leaf French double (with three registers) for the French works.originally posted by MarkS:

Well, we have books in boxes, too, but the aforementioned is distributed over only 3 rooms so there isn't any more wall space for another bookcase. (A lot of the wall space is, after all, taken up with doors, windows, antique prints, and tchotchkes).
Oh, and I miscounted... four armoires.

It was 2002. Every bottle of Bourg Demi-sec I've opened has been corked. Nasty, weird chlorine, half-evaporated fish-tank corked. Totally weird and total bummer.

Sure. If you want to play them ELP style. Shit, then you might need four more.originally posted by MarkS:
