Wishing upon a wine list…

With my birthday just around the corner, I’m getting many friends asking me what they can buy me. I’m actually looking to invest in some wines that age well so that I can get my “cellar” started. But some of the wines listed here have been chosen to help me pass the time while ageing the others! The prices vary tremendously, with some of the listed wines being much cheaper than others, so there should be something everyone can afford. Hope this answers that “what can I get you?” question!
