Cooling Units

[MontereyRick]

Thanks for the info guys and I definitely will pick up the above mentioned book. I spoke recently with a locally respected wine shop owner/friend who used to live in my area and believes I won't need a cooling unit. I picked up a thermometer/humidity tracker with min/max as suggested and I'll begin to track these. Last night at 9:00 it was 58 degrees adn 70% humidity. I'll continue to watch until the weather gets warm before making a decision.<P>One more question (HotWine): You mentioned that if the cellar is in the middle of the house (as mine is)that it would need to be ducted outside. Could it be ducted under the house to a pretty good sized crawl space next immediately adjacent to the cellar or would it need to go all the way outside?
