What’s in my wine rack?

by Jimmy Cocktail 12. May 2010 05:03

I have a twelve bottle wine rack that I use to hold the wines that I go through on a rather quick basis. I thought that it might be nice to post up what it holds every once in a while. Since things turn over pretty quickly there, this might be an interesting look at some stuff. One thing to note is that most of these wines are bought sight or taste unseen, it is a rather experimental collection. Only the interesting get reviewed. As you might have guessed, my current selection is all over the place, but I seem to be spending a lot of time and effort on the wines of Spain recently. FWIW, the whites spend the time in the cooler, not in the rack so these will all be reds.
