Cellar problems

[hotwine]

Can't get into the cellar thread to post this.... nothing but a blank page there.

Hadn't been in the cellar for a couple of weeks (have been living out of the EuroCave) until yesterday PM.... went looking for a SCMV PN to pair with cedar-plank salmon. Opened the door to deathly quiet - no hum of the compressor, no fan blowing - and 68 degrees on the thermometer! Panic! Ran back in the house and called my refrigeration guy. He couldn't get out here until today, when he found a blown compressor. Temp held at 70 all day in there, so damage to the goodies should be minimal. Damage to the wallet is a little more severe: $1383.

Note to self: Visit more often!
