The world of fine wine has never been so exciting. Mother Nature has graced us with remarkable vintages from all corners of the Earth. Following are a few of the wines that I have been buying for my personal cellar, and highly encourage anyone to buy.

2007 German Whites:
2007 is an inspired year for the great wines of Germany, producing a bevy of remarkable bottlings, especially with the dry wines. While Germany is usually anathema to most collectors, as they feel that the wines are sweet, the 2007s are a return to a classic, minerally drier style.

2004 Brunello di Montalcino:
A glorious year in this hallowed Tuscan appellation. Wines of great breed, texture and intensity. One of the greatest vintages EVER for Brunello di Montalcino!

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley:
Speaking of the wines from my home turf … Napa Valley has produced a dynamic set of wines in 2005. The 2005s have classic structures and a wonderful purity of fruit. A vintage in which the top wines will improve for decades.
