A Nice, Big Cave of Wine

[hotwine]

Thanks for the compliment.
Assume you mean a Eurocave or other brand of in-home appliance-style storage unit? No, I use an old concrete storm cellar, now equipped with an interior door, homemade racks and lots of insulation. The missus and I have admired those appliances, and discussed buying a small one for use under a kitchen counter; but we go on using our daughter's little refrigerator from her college days, that we have set up in our utility room to handle "on-call" white wines, beer and soft drinks. For red wines, I trot off down the path of 35 yards or so to the cellar, heft the steel door and step down into the gloom.
I don't know how those little refrigerators would work for more long-term wine storage, but you can't beat the price at less than $100 in an appliance store. Maybe someone else has experience with using one in that role.
