I’ve been reading through a book about French wines and buying bottles from each region as I read about them. Previously I would also focus on a specific country until I got bored and moved on to the next. Would love to hear any other ideas

What book are you reading

Buy what you like to drink.

You’ll never be disappointed.

Unless you are buying through dedicated wine investment platforms (held in bond, professional storage, OWC, etc) buy what you would want to drink.

Resell value of privately held bottles is going to be a challenge and not as profitable as you think (how to guarantee proper storage throughout, fees to auction houses/resellers)

Makes sense. My closet is definitely not optimal for aging ahaha have you explored or invested in any of those platforms?

While the Wine Folly master guide is pretty basic - I use the book as a guide and try different grape types that I would otherwise not have known/explored.

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
