We recently bought a really nice wrought-iron wine rack, which will hold 24 bottles. This was done because we’ve put in an order for 60 bottles from one of those “brew it yourself” stores. Although, they actually brew it for you – you just bottle it yourself.

The quality isn’t as good as what you’d get in the liquor store, but, for the price, it’s really not that bad. At least that’s what I’m hoping. I guess we’ll find out when it’s time to open the first bottle.

I have yet to sample a really expensive bottle of wine. (Say, $150+ in the store.) I’m not sure if my palette is even now good enough to be able to distinguish something like that from, say, a $10 bottle. I’d like to hope so. I’ve certainly tasted a much wider variety now than I’d ever had when I was younger. So, when the time does come around that I have that kind of disposable cash (!) it would be nice to know that I could actually appreciate the investement. Rather than, say, wishing I’d simply bought another 60 bottles of the brew it yourself variety…
