Cellar Size

[GreggJ]

I have a total of 100-125 bottles so 8-10 cases, some to age i'd say 3-4 cases, but the majority is to satisfy my impulsive need for the right wine to suit my craving du jour.

BTW, TW, how do you like living in the Milwaukee area? Though I spent much of my childhood growing up in suburban Chicago, my family all lives in Wisconsin, I spent my summers on Lake Ripley in Cambridge, and for the last 15 years my father has had a place in Williams Bay on Lake Geneva. Both sides of my family tree run through Beloit.

I've spent a lot of time in Milwaukee through the years, though not as much lately. Still miss Packer games at the old County Stadium.

I love it here. I live far enough outside the city so the traffic isnt bad as well as other down town type stuff. At the same time though its only a 20 min ride so I can get down there when i need to without problem. The only thing i dislike is the winter.

I have the same problem here. WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

I'm probably up to 250-300 bottles without a proper cellar for storage. It's taking over hallways and part of the guest bedroom.

Wonders, since you like burgs/PNs, suspect it could be tricky to even find a decent racking system for them. The welded rod type from Sam's Club work OK.... less than $60 to accommodate 168 btls. And they're on casters, so you could race them in your hallway.

That's a mental picture! I may be moving this summer or fall (within Fayetteville area) and hope to purchase a wine storage unit (maybe for 150-200 bottles). If so, would use it for the more expensive wines that need aging. Got to have some more parties to use up some of those bottles!

Twelve cases of everyday stuff in rotation here and about 120 bottles of the $$$ ilk hiding.

Your comment--"Got to have some more parties to use up some of those bottles!"

Is that an invitation to the "2006" board's off-line event? [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

I know the memory's the 2nd thing to go but I'm having trouble bememberin' that remark. WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

That was WOW, not WW. Somehow I don't think you want to offline in Fayetteville, NC.
