Have you ever tried a Pedro Ximenez that's not been produced in a sherry style? I have one for sale from Vinedos de Ithaca Odysseus, a white Priorat which is an oddity in itself. Really rare fascinating wine. Thanks for going local!!! Hey Nectar, Loved your blog & the shout out on Twitter. Have you ever tried a Pedro Ximenez that’s not been produced in a sherry style?

That's another strong selling point for buying local. Have you figured out how far along you are in the wine century challenge? Tamara – I never thought of the bottle shock aspect of wine.

Have you figured out how far along you are in the wine century challenge?

I accept your challenge, and have committed to doing this very thing. About finding the wine cheaper elsewhere: please keep in mind that you have no idea what that bottle at Cosco has gone through before it arrived on their shelf. How much heat, cold, light, vibration etc was it exposed to? Does this affect the quality? Sometimes I get annoyed when I see wines I purchase at the winery cheaper on the shelves at the store, but how long have they been sitting there in less-than-optimum conditions. Perhaps worth taking into consideration, especially when purchasing wines for cellaring or special occasions. And I'm so intrigued by the Century Club, oh la la!

I love your ideas here. I definitely try to buy locally as much as possible. I am fortunate to have the major grocery store here be a locally owned chain. I mostly shop there, or at one of the locally owned liquor stores. I have also been trying to ramp up my drinking of Texas wines, and have really been enjoying it. As for the Wine Century Club, I have been working my way through this. I started my list from scratch so that I could chronicle my progress through my blog, but I should still count up my real totals, just for my curiosity. I'm really having fun trying new things, and I look forward to continuing my journey through the wine world. Hey Josh, somehow I missed this post when you first made it. I love your ideas here.
