QOTD, in a closet with a 72 bottle wine rack. Sure I’d love to have a cellar, but we live in a 1BR apartment in Manhattan.

Nice show Gary. I need to learn more about(read taste) Super Tuscans.

QOTD: Folks in the forum know I labored over 57-bottle under counter cooler. I have that stocked. I also have 14 bottles stored in cubies built into our kitchen cabinets. The rest of the wine is stored on a wine rack/cart in our dining room. Whenever we reclaim our basement apartment for ourselves, I plan to build a cellar.

top 25…

I wish CHEF would spell “you’re” correctly, just once.

Susan, Congrats on the $8.3 million!!!!!

Actually Erik’s name in the “STUPID KINGDUMB” is “The Earl of Kasntner” 😀

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QOD: I have wine stored in a bunch of different places but I have some champagne in my refrigerator, an 18 bottle wine fridge, a 45 bottle wine rack and I also have around 60 bottles stored in my good friend’s basement wine rack because I ran out of room……….. :o)

8.3 mil for Susan!

Please explain this one.
🙂

love friday episodes!

QOTD: my wine is stored in 2 50-60 bottle wine refrigerators and the rest in my sons closet in the basement. looking into a 300-500 bottle wine refrigerator or build a wine cellar.

QOTD: anywhere that SS Dede can’t find.

Susan, Congrats on the $8.3 million!!!!!

I won – really? I will be sending you my account info soon!
Ha! I can see where my sarcasm gets me. No one got my joke!
I hope some of the Vayniacs honestly know what an earl is.
🙂

Gary, love this episode as usual! Have a lovely trip to London, looks like it’ll be Beefeater instead of wine for you. Not sure they’re particularly “wine-oriented” in London, are they?
Thanks for the gravatar help, will work on it this weekend. Safe travel..

QOD: My basement for now. I have an old root cellar that’s kinda creepy like the one in “The Cask of the Amontillado”; that’s eventually where I’d like to store it. Got some fixin’ up to do.

You pick your scalp and eat it! I constantly smell everything including ear wax and I’m a germaphobe, since we’re sharing.

I was trying to get past the bland, boring, sucky-ass dark wine glass for awhile now. 🙂 I even signed up for gravatar beta 2.0 last week. But it didn’t take. Glad it’s working now (we’ll see when I post). That super tuscan sounds great. I just love saying Super Tuscan. It sounds so …. heroic.

Ooops! Gravatas isn’t working. But I KNOW I signed up for it correctly, uploaded my pic, chose it, etc. What am I missing?

Hey now!

My wife and I are going to Napa this President’s Day weekend. Going after work. Some of our favorite wineries: Reverie, Hartwell, St. Clement, Flora Springs, Chimney Rock, Pine Ridge, Cuvaison, Miner, Raymond, Mumm, ZD, the list goes on and on. Copia is having an event, “Death by Chocolate.” We’re dining at La Toque on Saturday and Go Fish on Sunday. Totally stoked.

QOTD: In the garage, on the ground (cement foundation), in cases, upside down. Even on 100 dergree days during the summer the bottles are always cool. Humidity is good too. We live in South San Franciso by the coast. We’d probably need a controlled environment storage device were we to move. Quick Question For Gary (QQFG): Long term, will storing the bottles upside down, versus vertical, cause problems as the wines age? Right now everything is okay, no leaking, etc., although with unfiltered wines we have to decant. Just curious.

I store my wine in the bottomless vaults of the internet…i call it my virtual cellar. I actually can’t tast or smell, so i find a wine online I want to drink, pour some cheap stuff from home, and stare at the expensive bottle on my monitor, all the while pretending i’m drinking the good stuff. Later I visit the wine making region via a virtual vacation!

G,
Happy Friday Bro!
Kickin it, drinking a 1987 Stags Leap SLV and enjoying your show.
Great QOTD:
When I bought my house I converted a storage closet by the kitchen into a cellar.
I have a 504 bottle, climate controlled, slice of heaven.
Next house I will go for 1000+ bottles.
Have fun in London, stay safe, and bring back great stories!!

QOTD: Right now in the basement. Have on order Two Portfolio 3-temp wine cellars from Wine Enthusiast. Will hold 120 bottles and match the furniture in our den.

QOTD: Our wine is kept…. everywhere! But seriously, it’s close. City living doesn’t give you many options, so our wine is spread over 3 wine fridges throughout our place (1 Marvel, 2 Avanti). Additionally keep about 10 bottles in a counter wine rack for quick consumption.

QOD:
Storage is NOT a problem for me.
Why?
Because I only own about 12 bottles.
Would I like to own more?
Sure.
When I get that 8.3 million, storage will be
THE
issue!
🙂

Buona festa! What a joyous day… Anyone else ever serve at an Olive Garden back in the day? Love casual Friday couch episodes.

QOTD — 50-bottle wine fridge, under lock and key. Not really using the lock, but I’ve considered it.

Gary- Have a safe trip and thanks for taping. If all your wine tonight is as good as the San Felice, you will be sailin’ by the end, and that’s a good thing.

QOD- I keep 40 in my home wine fridge and store the other 300+ at a very reliable, temp. and humidity controlled, rental wine cellar 3 blocks from home here in Chicago. I started with just my fridge, then rented one 200 bottle cellar, then rented a second 200 bottle cellar…I gotta go drink! Cheers!

PS- I finally registered on the Forum per your command.

Now that I think about it, maybe I’ll just have to take me a picture of a sucky-ass blank wine bottle and use that for a gravatar.

QOD: The rack in the abandoned half bathroom-turned-wine room, two fridges, and the rest in styro in the coldest part of the house. God, I need a basement.
