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?!

it's a great idea to get the carafes going earlier. thanks for the suggestion.

There are some excellent storage options here in Hong Kong, and I have some help to keep things organized. Not quite at 10k though.
