I feel you man. Once you start investing the money to really buy a good bottle each time its like you cant go back after that, and the irony is I still feel like Im buying mediocre wine even when Im droppin 10 bucks these days on a decent bottle. lol.
Once your hooked your hooked. Nothing like a good bottle of wine.
**Forgot to mention**
I plan on making a trek to the Sonoma County for the typical winery hopping at the end of this year for a gift to me and my lady. Cant wait to go.
