temperture

[Thomas]

Well, we wondered the same thing. We keep the store temperature between 69 and 71, which are the kick on and kick off temps of the a/c. On Thursday as soon as we figured out the outage was major, we closed the store (which is not in direct sunlight) to keep the doors closed. On Friday morning we had someone check the store; he said the temperature was about 72 F.

With all lights off and little sunshine, we managed to keep a fairly cool store for 17 hours of outage, and 94 F Friday temperatures.

My people checked bottles for signs of leaking--none--felt the bottles for warmth--not bad, I am told.

Perhaps the wines aged a little more than they should, but they will be drinkable for a while longer.
