I am not a wine drinker or collector, but for some reason have always been interested in the wine collecting hobby. I use to eat at Bern's when I lived in the bay area, and still do when I get the opportunity to visit.
The video attached to the article is very interesting also...

I travel to FL each winter, Jan-Feb, and the last part of my trip ends up on the Gulf coast.
I always eat at least one dinner at Berns {it's great food, but pricey} and they have a wonderful selection of unusually rare vintages of wine and alcohol of all sorts.

Yes, that was very interesting. Thanks.
I’m a wino. LOL. Those prices make me shiver. The best wines I have ever had were homemade and from a place in Mississippi called Old South Winery.
I mostly drink red wine but any homemade fruit wine I rarely pass up. No snob here, no box wine. That’s just nasty.
Something else, I have never had a hangover from drinking wine. Got mad drunk but never had a hangover.
Merry Christmas.

I love Bern’s. Great food, atmosphere, and wine.

Most wine does not keep well for many years. My father collected wine ($20-$40 in today dollars). He even had a very good wine closet (temperature controlled). When he died in 1995, my stepmother kept his wine together and only used a few bottles a year. By 2005, almost every bottle we opened had already gone bad.

What kind of incompetance is required of a staff that a $30K bottle of wine goes missing and is not missed?

I was gonna say....isn’t there a thing called ‘inventory’ that most restaurants perform? Seems like it’d be especially fitting if it had a rare wine room.
