[Wednesday 4th November 2015]
Received a case of my favourite Gevrey Chambertin today - Domaine Fourrier 2011. For a while now I'd been wanting to actually start stocking a cellar, since our flat has one which isn't much use for much else other than storage of things we don't mind being in the dank atmosphere. I had also recently ordered a logging thermometer and hygrometer to check that the temperature and humidity remained reasonably constant overnight etc - at least last night it had stuck around 15 degrees and 75% humidity which is apparently about right.

The delivery arrived first thing in the morning, to the extent that I signed for it in my Cordings pyjamas, which felt gratifyingly louche. I decided to install the bottles in the cellar straight away, after liberating one of the wine racks I'd bought earlier this year, which had been co-opted as a magazine rack and occasional foot stool. It seemed much happier with 6 bottles of Gevrey Chambertin in it.
