It was expert opinions like these about how I didn't need cellar notes for under 100 bottles of wine and shouldn't consider cellaring wine unless I did 250+ that made me mad and I decided to move ahead despite such recommendations. <br /><br />As for yours, I especially liked the craig's list suggestion. I think you have to be really careful with your closet, and know your house structure, too. I have very, very thick stucco walls. The closet is downright chilly, except in summer. But in summer everything goes to an unheated house on the north coast which averages a low internal temp in a set of northern window seats. Closets on southern walls are a problem, I know. Don't get Dehlinger's newsletter, but it's something to keep an eye on. You might be on to something with your Burgundy-Bordeaux comparison, too. Still, I'll keep an eye out and let you know how it's going as I start tasting!Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-141387463751706102007-02-02T02:57:00.000-08:002007-02-02T02:57:00.000-08:00Hey, Sonadora.

Good luck. :)Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-21817784496130514082007-02-01T21:21:00.000-08:002007-02-01T21:21:00.000-08:00A few thoughts.

One, it seems bad form to diss another perfessor on your blog, but Bainbridge's elitist ideas on wine storage make about as much sense as his politics. If you're not a piggy person, you can cellar one bottle as easily as one thousand. Two, another option is a storage locker. This can be very affordable if you share a locker with a friend or two. Three, set up a RSS feed for a temp-controlled cabinet on craig's list. They pop up sometimes, cheap. Four, my own experience with cooked closet wines and other anecdotal data I've seen suggests that passive storage is just not a good option. For example, Tom Dehlinger has been writing in his newsletter about tasting cellar wines against closet wines, and the results don't look good for the closet, even for wines that have spent only a year in a nice, cool, Russian River closet. But he is writing about PN, which may be more delicate than your Bordeaux.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-35137955044665698212007-02-01T08:58:00.000-08:002007-02-01T08:58:00.000-08:00Looking good!

I'm really trying hard to convince Matt that we need a large refridgerated unit to hold it all. He said we should just drink faster :)Sonadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267916648440750132noreply@blogger.com
