    I recently built a new cellar off of my Living Room- it holds 1,400 bottles and at about 98% of capacity. I need to learn how to drink faster than I buy, but with all this great information available it’s tough!

    Hi Gary,

    QOTD: I store the wines I believe still need some cellaring in my parents’s cellar…the ones I buy for drinking or just picked up and are waiting to move into my parents cellar…in the hallway. No kidding, it’s cool and dark there and I have a lot of space. A couple of bottles also linger in a nice wooden box on the kitchen floor – it’s a nice deco.

    I think winelibrary killed Gravatar! How long has it been taking new registrants for their gravatar image to ‘activate?’ …going on 6 hours since I created mine.

    QOTD: Steel racks (and boxes on the floor) of the coolest room of the basement. Drafty house so the wine is about about 50 degrees in winter and 60 in summer.

    Wow… I have about 10 cases in my Streetervill apt in Chicago…. All pretty cool stuff. Some of it is in temp control (about 2 cases, The old stuff)… Everthing else is just kicking it next to the “cellar”. I encourage everyone to save a bottle for every bottle you drink… It really is cool what happens to wine when if develops in the bottle…..

    Thanks to WL, out of space. Started w/ 24 bottle rack, added 36 bottle Danby, and then 55 bottle Magic Chef. My top priced wines are $50, long long term agers. I now have 9-10 cases in styrofoam shipping cases in a closet, and a dozen bottles in a book case. Here in South, house is kept at 70F year round. Need to start purchasing less and drinking more until balance is achieved.

    For all who were able to get their gravatars posted: how did you do it? I created my gravatar and it posted on gravatar’s blog (http://blog.gravatar.com/2007/2/1/gravatar-2-0-screenshot-1/comments/1584#comment-1584) so I know that it works.

    but it doesn’t. Hmmm. I got it to display on the blog on Gravatar’s site. What am I doing wrong? (Watch, now my gravatar will display).

    Do some more supertuscs Gary. U know they are worth it.
    QOTD: I am a poor student (yet, as of he day before yesterday not anymore … I have got a job! :D ), but a complete wine nerd so: 1) a room in the cellar of my digs, with four bins, a wooden wine shelf, and a floor of 5×5 m to crowd with 6-packs, 12-packs and cases (by now 250 btls, but still a huge lot of place to go … next september I have to move all this though :-? ). 2) a wine rack at my girlfriend’s for about some 40 btls. 3) a wine rack at home for some 60 btls and a pile of cases. 4) every place of my own I stay for about an hour a week has also some full or empty btls. In my ow room at my digs, there’s always a bottle of six around and in my girlfriend’s kitchen is a permanent hall of fame.
    I know :-$ .
    C ya!

    Isn’t it more of a wild berry skittles rainbow? That’s the purple bag.

    QOTD I have a bunch of racks in a cool dark corner of the basement. The other place I store wine is my belly which is perhaps the best place to store wines.

    Another great episode. Have a great time in London, Gary.
    QOTD: On an inexpensive wine rack in our basement. It feels like it’s a good place; cool all year long, but not freezing in the winter.
