My good bottles

I used to work for a wine store and managed to pick up some good bottles for good prices. This is what I still have:

2 half bottles of 2005 Rayne Vigneau Sauternes 1 bottle 1990 Suduiraut Sauternes (received as a gift) 1 bottle 2004 Brancaia Ilatraia 1 bottle 2001 Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino. (This was Wine Spec's Wine of the Year, 2006. I got one bottle for employee price (about $35).) 1 bottle 2006 Torbreck Barossa Valley Woodcutter's Shiraz 1 bottle 1994 Dow's Vintage Port.

I'm sure some of these don't rise to the level of "good" bottles for some of you, but for me and my modest means... well, they're good for me.

Interesting selection of bottles. I've been told by more knowledgable folks that Torbreck makes atypical wines in the Barossa, more attuned to a Europhilic palate such as wine. I have one bottle of a Woodcutter's Semillon to test that with. Most of your wines will benefit from bottle aging, so I hope that you have the facility to age them in a cool environment. Welcome to alt.food.wine, BTW.

Thanks for the welcome, Mark. All I can do is store them in a nice, hardwood wine box in the closet. It never gets too hot in there.
