A few of us here ask for carafes to be filled on boarding. If ex-DXB they can break the bonded cart seal and pour it right away. Elsewhere, its done just after takeoff. I had them do that with Opus One 2007, had it about 3 hours in. Killed the whole bottle. At the J bar no less... (in a J glass, mind you)

Sadly, my cellartracker shows I have only 53 bottles. Best thing I have in there is 2 bottles of Dunn Howell Mountain 2004 and a bottle of 1998 Dom P2 in offsite cold storage, alog with a bunch of stuff I probably should have drank a few years back but forgot about. How do you manage 10k+ bottles?!
