QOTD. The cabinet under my kitcken sink. There’s not much insuloation between that wall, and the cold air from the outside keeps it nice and cool. Not sure what I’m gonna do once summer hits. I have a few bottles that I want to cellar for a few years. Any ideas?
Great episode by the way. I’ve had only a few super tuscans, and I was crazy about them all.
You rock dude.

Nice Friday episode!

QOTD: In an Avanti 28-bottle fridge, but I have a Eurocave Premier 100 ready for me to move into my new home, that will be the primary storage in March!

QOD

The daily drinking wines are in a redwood tasting table in the basement. The good stuff is in a Eurocave in the dining room.

I store my collection in a small corner room in my basement. Temp. seems constant here at around 65-66. Cool cement/stone floor, and a door to close it off from rest of basement. Good wide range of wines (I do not buy by the case, only 1, 2, or 3 bottles of each wine). No first growth or obscenely priced numbers. So I carry roughly 150-180 names at a time. I like to taste many varieties from all over the world. But I always come back to my beautiful dirty, dusty, smelly, Medocs (love Chateau Lascombes). So my little corner does the trick.
I also like my Tuscans (Lamaione, Mormoreto, Solengo, Tig, Piastraia, Le Serre Nuove). Nice to see GV do a Tuscan today.

QoTD – I have a basement (doesn’t cellar sound cooler?) that hovers 55-60 in the winter and 60-70 in the summer. I keep my wines on a couple free standing racks, nothing fancy. Once we redo the basement I want to have a dedicated area in the corner where the temp stays a little more consistent, with some stainless racks (too moist for nice wood).

I store my wine in my temperature and humidity controlled, vapor barrier sealed, R21+ insulated dedicated wine cellar which has a capacity of approximately 1050 bottles. I have around 400 bottles and it LOOKS pretty full. Have a good trip to the UK!

I love the Friday episode; the leather couch; the WL wooden crate; Vayniak questions; laid back ambiance, etc. GV, your a pro. You’re really hitting your stride, you ‘athlete’ you. What a stud!

I especially appreciate the historical, and in this episode, the economic background you are providing about the wines you feature on WLTV. I learn much about something I’m passionate about, and I consider viewing your WLTV effort among the highlights of my daily life. I raise my glass, and wish you a safe and fun-filled trip.

QOD: 24 bottles of white stored in an under the counter wine cooler. 192 bottles of red stored in eight 24 bottle racks in a dark closet at 68 degrees. One bottle open. None of my wines cost more than 70.00 so this works for me. The open bottle is now empty.

Hey JMC #21- There are a lot of Chicago Vayniaks including me. Welcome. Check out the Forum at WLTV meets. There is a thread for a Chicago wine tasting tonight spearheaded by Large Fever Format and others. I have kids’ stuff and can’t go. Join the Forum and chat or leave comments here on the eps. Cheers!

63? That’s so lame!!
QOTD – cellar. Hope to build a wine room with enough racks to get my bottles completely out of boxes.

Top 70!

I keep my wine on a rack under the stairs, but I’m thinking I better get a little wine fridge to brave through the hot LA summer months. It really hurts me to know that I can’t buy anything to last for the long term.
