I love a good glass of red wine but to collect wine would be like having a beautiful firearm that I can't shoot.

Pete, the ultimate goal is for me to drink every bottle before I go. Think of the ultimate sports car, one with the potential capable of winning Daytona and Le Mans. It would have been built by a true craftsman out of the finest materials with the utmost of care. Iin order for it to reach its potential it would have to be broken in over a very long period. it would have to be cared for for many years inorder for it to develop, but when it would be ready it would sing and give pleasure to those that saw it or tried it.

Thats like the wine thing you can buy a wine that has been stored and already mature for very big bucks (some of them are into the many  thousands) or you can collect them at issue price store them, sometimes for decades, and then enjoy them when they are ready. It's like every other passion or hobby ya "get it" or ya don't

I couldn't agree more!  Also love Sushi.

Also love photography, it's almost as expensive as this hobby, maybe more...... definitely more....(no including ammo of course)

Family history research.  My wife & I have directly traced some of our ancestors to the 1432 & 1575 respectively.
