This Month In Your Cellar: Slim Down Your Cellar With A New Year's Wine Resolution

 Whenever I see an amazing deal on wine, I’m tempted to invest in it, even if the wine itself doesn’t excite me very much. Last year, I spent about $350 on two cases of wine that wasn’t collectible because I thought I was getting them for a steal; almost 12 months later, a few of those bottles are still gathering dust. The wines weren’t that spectacular, and looking back, I wish I would have spent that $350 on fewer bottles of higher quality wine instead. If you still haven’t picked out a New Year’s resolution yet, why not commit yourself to buying fewer bottles of better wine this year? Even if you’re a seasoned professional who routinely drops $1,000 on a single bottle, making this New Year’s wine resolution can still improve your collection and help you stay organized this year by keeping you focused on what counts: quality.
