Ray, I understand the basic premise ...that's 700ish, down from 1500+ in my wine buying heyday, when I was still carrying the bag and bringing big dough in over the transom.
I am whittling away at it these days.
I am sorry to see that great/inexpensive tempranillos from Spain and Cali Zins, that most wine nooks wouldn't look twice at previously, are recently "discovered". 
My only advice is that almost any decent red will taste even better, after a couple to 5 yrs of proper rest...
I have a top drawer, price-wise, Alsace riesling fetish, too.
It's a damn expensive hobby, if one lets it run.
The wine inventory is for drinking, here on the mtn; it ain't a
show cellar.
BR,md
