Elliot is a wine nut. He buys things when they first come out and holds them sometimes for a while. Then when he puts them on the list, he still only does a moderate markup even if the wine is currently much more expensive elsewhere. He really doesn't seem to believe or follow the fact the many wines get much more expensive with age or demand. He has two list so be sure when you go there to ask for the captains list. Thats where all the good stuff is. If he is ever around be sure to chat with him. He might even show you his wine room (actually it is more of a house). He is a character down here. Most people either love him or hate him.
