LOL! Tmi on the whole eating dandruff thing, but thats what makes these video blogs fun and light, huh? QOTD – I am just beginning to build a “collection”(if you can call it that) so my wines are stored between a smaller wine rack for the wines that will be consumed soon and liquor boxes for those wines that are being “saved”. My apartment doesn’t have alot of closet space, sooo…..

    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.

    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.

    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…..

    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.

    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.

    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 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!

    I have a pretty simple 10 wide X 11 tall wooden rack. I keep it in the basement against an outside wall. I push all the bottles against the wall to help keep them cool. I have also enclosed the rack in styrofoam. Works for me year round. The rack paces my wine buying. I don’t buy more unless I have a slot for it. One problem, some of the fat bottles, like pino noir, don’t fit.

  • Badger Ann

    Last year, my kind husband built a little wine cellar for me in our basement. Besides storing wine, it also serves to shore up the floor above in our 85 year old house. It has a WhisperKool unit and steel racks (from Sam’s Club!), and I think the capacity is about 750 bottles. I currently have about 80, and going up!

    good episode, high energy.

    QOTD: dual zone refer… 18 bottles each side… whites at 55 degrees, reds at 64.
    does that sound right to you Gary?

    Have a grand time in the UK.

    I’ll have to try that one. Perhaps with a Bisteca al Fiorentina and a nice green bean salad.

    GV- great show. I had no idea what a super Tuscan was…until now. I’ll have to try one.

    QOTD – in the basement, in a very cold unfinished storage room w/ presently room for 30 cases.
    I’ll need more storage racks by the time the 05 Bordeaux futures come in!

    I built a wine rack in my basement that holds 4 cases. Unfortunately, CellarTracker says I now have 71 bottles, and 12 pending. The overflow is either in styrofoam shipping boxes, or in cases hidden in the basement. Looks like I need to build another rack.

    Oh…
    QOTD: A 32-bottle wine rack (right across from where I work at home, where I can admire it all day long). 🙂

    Haven’t had much need to build a cellar or buy a fridge, yet, since I can’t seem to leave a bottle alone long enough for it to age. Heheh.
