We need to talk. I can't keep good wine in my house I have 3 bottles I'm trying my best to store for 8 years but it's getting hard. I've experienced beautifully aged wine and it ruined me.

And congratulations on being a new daddy!

Updated with a few bits I left out:
More computer stuff;
A+ N+ S+

More other stuff;
While I was in the Wine Trade I taught Adult ED, Wine Appreciation, both basic and advanced for 3 terms. Great fun.
I have tried over 50,000 different wines, beers & spirits in my career, and I'm an avid fan of Scottish Malt Whisky (yep that's the real stuff spelt correctly). I have tried examples from 95% of known distilleries.

Think that's about it for now, maybe more to come.
All this and I'm only 21 *cough* yeah right

Let me share a wine story with you. After being discharged from the Navy in WW2 I got seamans papers and went out with the Merchant Marine. When I was over in France I picked up a gallon of white wine and a gallon of red wine and stashed them in my locker. It took over a week to get back to New York.
All that rolling and pitching turned my wine into 2 gallons of vinegar which I promptly poured over the side. And that was both the begaining and end of my wine experience. Tom

Tom, we need to give you a proper introduction to wine in order for you to make yay/nay decision. Your appreciation for a wine has quite a bit to do with food, company (the people with whom you are enjoying the wine) and presentation as well as the quality of the wine itself.

My guess is that a swirling gallon jug on a merchant marine boat with your buddies and galley food would indeed be a "different" experience.

OK need to add to my achievements.
I got into work this morning to find we had a virus on the DC.
Bit of a sod as the payload part kept recreating itself seconds after it was deleted.
I soon found that this bug had hit our GLOBAL WAN !!!!
Oh crud !!!
So 3 hours and tons of coffee later I'd nuked the little so and so into binary hell

I documented my fix and sent it out to our European and Canadian HQ's.
A few minutes later I received a mail from Canada to say that they had Trend engineers on site trying to kill it and failing, but 5 mins after receiving my notes they'd killed it.

So that's a big one up for me beating professional virus hunters
