Too from the high desert, got 100ish bottles at a very nice place called Wine Vault of the Desert, in Palm Desert, CA. http://www.wvotd.com I think it’s $2.50 per month per case. 55 degrees, 60-65% humidity. LOVE IT!

Hi Gary! Nice show!!

I am reviewing some Tuscan wine shows, because it’s always fun to review (And I want to test if you read new comments on old shows!) and I am going to Tuscany next February on my honeymoon! Definitely going to search this Vigorello, but also Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Tignanello. I’ve always being huge fan of Amarone, now going to expand my “Tuscan wine” palate.

QOTD: I store my best wines on a Samsung wine cellar (29 standard bottles + 1 Magnum + 2 half bottles + 1 Bocksbeutel shaped wine bottle). The rest goes on a dark closet floor.

This episode was ok. GV did his best as always, but it just didn’t bring the thunder for me Dog!

There originally was a race for the top spots on the posts because Gary was keeping track supposedly. But I guess it got to be too much to keep up with.

GV is just too busy!

currently in the coldest room in the basement, but not for long as I’m moving. That might necessitate buying a wine fridge/cellar as soon as I can scratch together some cash.

Hay Gary,
Monday I am buying a EuroCave Performance 500 Wine Cellar. I’ve been looking for a while, I live in the high desert in CA, and it is going in my garage. I hope I made a right choice, I have way two many wines to make a bad choice in cellars.

QOTD: In a 66 bottle wine fridge. Seemed large enough when I got it. Like everybody else now I wish it held 366 bottles. Hence I have some spillover bottles spread around in the nice Wine Library styrofoam boxes.

I have a 50 bottle storage cooler that fluctuates from overfilled when the futures come in and almost empty a week later. Too Much Wine… So Little Time.

Ditto that Jay. I too have a 42 bottle Haier which is an exceptional QPR. Also, several more cases all over the place…

Right now in a 360 bottle temperature contolled cabinet. In the house we are remodeling there is a basement that the architect is designing a wine room that will hold about 1500 bottles. Again have to thank you for what you do Gary. Introducing to new wines and wineries is always fun for me. Not just learning but tasting. My wife and I and our small (4 couples but goes up to 8 occasionally) wine tasting group just went through our notes for the last 15 years. We have averaged 300 bottles per year for 15 years of tasting and drinking. You have added about 50 more bottles for us to try and as people travel they bring back more. We will be having a tasting first weekend of March of all Paso Robles. Then because of your turning me on to Tensley and Los Olivos wines we will have an all Los Oilvos/Santa Barbara tasting. Any suggestions for Santa Barbera will be welcomed. We are doing a mix of red and white for both.

did that work?

mine wine “collection” is afew random bottles spread around the house, and a HUGE collection at the place I like to call my “Wine Library” which is a “storage facility” about 5 miles from my house. The only bad part about the wines I keep there is that I have to pay every time I go in to remove a bottle

Ya…I’m late. QOD: I store all my wine here at work in our tempurature controlled warehouse. I just bring home what I’m going to want for the next day or two. I’m always sure to bring home my wine a few days earlier so that it can stand and get to room temp. I always have a few cheap-o’s hangin’ out at home in case something spur of the moment comes up.

OK…I’ll talk to you later. I gotta watch the weather episode (I was out of the office Thurs and Fri). See you later,

GO BEARS!!!

Sensei,

Have a great trip!

QOD – we have a 57 bottle wine fridge(GE Profile) built into our kitchen island and an overflow rack in dining room that holds about 50 bottles. Would really like a 400-500 storage cabinet from vinotemp….

Master, not sure we needed to know about the scalp thing……:)
