Hmm, I saw this question on the ERP board, and I thought it was rather interesting. Basically the question was that you had $5k and a 500 bottle cellar capacity, and what would you buy? I said the following, but I would be interested to see what people would put. Please don't make any comments about saving the money, it's too much to spend, etc... it's just a hypothetical question.
