DIY cellar?

[hotwine]

Just looked over my copy of Dr. Gold's superb little book, "How and Why to Build a Wine Cellar", which is the best authority on the subject that I've found. Here are some of his comments: <BR>"An orphaned refrigerator that still has good door seals might serve as a poor man's wine vault. Even at its lowest setting, it may be too cold for wine storage, but you can take care of that..... The biggest drawback of refrigerator storage is the meager capacity.... Can a refrigerator that has been retired as not up to the job of cooling milk ever be trusted with the task of guarding Mouton? I've never tried to use a refrigerator, retired or otherwise, for wine, and have yet to communicate with anyone who has. If you've taken this trip please let me know how you set it up and how it went."<P>(Copyright by Richard M. Gold, North Amherst MA.)
