Urban Cellars....you are kiddin Charles!!.
I use two online wine auctions sites and I am in up to 80 wine auctions a day. I nominate the wines I want to purchase and I set a ceiling price of $15 per bottle. Now nobody gives away $40-$70 bottles of wine for $15 and I will go many months without scoring a solitary win!
But.....it might be 11.45pm on a Friday night, the boss has taken the secretary away for the weekend and the wife has found out, and she says....."Your wine cellar mate, is history!" and I will pick up a heap of good wine for $15 per bottle.
Charles, you have to be 'streetsmart'!!
There is no way I could afford what that wine would have cost from Urban Cellars.
And because it is so cheap Charles I am not precious about it.
I made the mistake with my early wins of drinking from the bottom up! Every time I would front up to the cellar I was always looking for the worst bottle in the rack.......every bottle I pulled out I would think..."Nah, that's a bit good" and grab for something else. The problem with that is....by the time I got to the really good stuff, it was over the hill!
Now I drink from the top down!
Cheers......Rob
