  Help! I need a cellar

Help! I'm being transferred from my perfect 55 degree wine closet to the rigours of (at least for a while) apartment living in the San Francisco area. Rather than holding a drunken going away party I have decided to purchase a cellar for my 150+/- faves... Who has had experience with any of the commercially available cellaring units? Opinions and suggestions most welcome.

Check out this earlier thread on wine cellars: http://www.bottlecount.com/harvey/comment.cgi?newsid=1021


Another option is to rent storage space for your wine. For instance at K&L Wine Merchants: http://www.klwines.com/wine_lockers.asp

or http://www.winebankonline.com/

I have been using a Vinotemp for several years and have been very pleased. You can buy several of their units from Costco.com. Check it out.

I was faced with a similar route a few years ago, but I was going to rental home, vs apartment. I was able to convert a decent sized closet to a nice storage area for less than $700 (much cheaper than a 200 bottle unit!) I was able to replace the closet door with a good exterior door that sealed well, Lined the closet with 3mil thick plastic to further seal the room, and bought the smallest Vinotemp through the wall unit directly from Vinotemp for $400. It really was not as hard to do as it sounds, just having the space, and hopefully an agreeing landlord. Otherwise, I would look to ebay, or a site like that to see if you can come up with a good used storage unit. Good luck.

We would really like to hear what you have to say
