Perhaps even more oddly, I don't find it ironic at all! But then again I am very odd.

Well anyone who cuts the limes for his gin and tonics with a knife forged 400 years ago by a Samurai blacksmith might not be considered "normal."

the regulars in this thread aren't snobby in the first place. This helps.

I find that coffee people are the worst.

the single vineyard bottling is even better at 20USD

2004 Celler Del Roure Maduresa

dark fruit, spices, slight vanilla with some huge tannins. Big wine without the fruit bomb simplicity, could use another 5 years. $27 dollars and very worth it.

Any suggestions? I'd like to keep it under $100 if possible. Doesn't even need to be a refrigerator. A nice looking wine rack would be fine.

off topic, but a good book on wine cellars is How and Why to Build a Wine Cellar by Gold:

I used the advice in the book to build a large, passively cooled wine cellar. It looked like a science experiment but it was fun to build and worked very well.

1) yes, I believe this. 2) This would seriously piss me off. Probably shouldn't, but it would.
