Adam,
I usually buy three bottles of whatever I want to try. I drink one right away (after it rests for two weeks), then I keep the other two for.... however long that is. I've found that sometimes I'll try a bottle and not like it, to only like it later. So, each bin will have two of the same bottles in it. I do not stack double deep if I only have one of that particular bottle. I've got around 450 bottles so far, so I have plenty of room to not need to hide them. But as my collection grows, I'll have to come up with a numbering system for the bins. I use Personal Wine Curator V3 for my inventory software. It has provisions for locations. I've found this software to be very handy. I thought about using tags, but they come with their own aggravations.
Peter,
Virginia?? I thought you lived in California? When did you move?? I was stationed outside Virginia Beach for a while, but never ventured inland.
