New Cellar - Oh That Texas Heat!

[oostexan]

About a year ago I moved back to the holy land, the great state of Texas. When I moved into the new house, I converted a closet in my study into a wine cellar. I had this done by a pro wine cellar company that did the vapor barrier, new exterior grade doors, racking, and installed a Vinotemp unit. The company that did this was Apex Wine Cellars. I think they did a very good job, but need some guidance.<P>My question is this, now that I have gotten most of the way through a hot Texas summer, I have noticed that the temperature stays between 59 and 62 in the summer, and 56 to 59 in the winter.<P>I have had a few occassions when the power has gone out, and the cellar got up to the mid-high 70's for an hour or so.<P>How do the resident pros on the board think this will effect my wine? I have about 300 bottles, with an empahsis on good second and third growth Bordeaux and a fair amount of good California Cab, all of which I plan to age for 5 to 7 years after vintage date.<P>I have been collecting for about four years, but lived in Colorado where I stored wine in an interior closet. So this is my first official "wine cellar".<BR>
