Craigslist Score

I think there's just not enough of these in the wine category. I bought a wine cellar for $75 holds 350-ish bottles. Fast forward about 6 weeks and they call me back and ask if I want the other unit. FREE! Turns out they can't take it with them - they're moving and the new place is too small. So now I've got 700+ conditioned bottle storage. That's not even the best part. They gave me 3 boxes of wine, that includes 1980 Dom among other "Chateaus" from the 80's and 90's. JACKPOT! I'm gonna play the lottery tomorrow and see if my luck continues.

wow, thats all I can say.... WOW

WOW.


that is not big enough...

On a completely unrelated note: Your location information is missing. We would greatly appreciate as detailed information as possible, including access points into your house without disturbing you.

Congrats. Thats a hell of a score.

Thanks guys, cellardoor - you're too nearby that's why I don't post location info. I'll try for a photo of the cellar tomorrow. Now I feel like I didn't thank them enough when they gave me the wine. I didn't know what they were giving me, until I unboxed them at home and looked them up.

DAMN! That is awesome! Congrats man

OK, Life gets in the way sometimes. Sorry for the big delay in posting....

I have a pic of one of the two cellars I brought home; they open opposite each other like french doors, and a sample of some of the wines that were given to me.





And then - Thursday I picked up five "aluminum" kegs for $50. (They're stainless.)

the Dom is probably shot. BUT awsome score anyway!

I dunno - I can buy that same bottle online for $300 plus shipping . I'm willing to at least try it. If only one bottle out of all of it was good I'd still be thrilled. I can cook with the past it's prime stuff or use my new "vinegar" in salads. Life is good.

I've hit two bottles so far - I don't know what they should taste like, but they were drinkable even if they were past their prime.
