Where can I buy a good wine storage fridge on the internet or possibly a retailer in my area, LI, NY
also, is this the proper term refrigerator, are wine fridges different than standard refrigerators

I recently purchased 4 bottles of 97 cabernet and what to start a small collection for my fiance to be opened in the future

Welcome, Nicole. Suggest you drill down the list of topics to the bottom and select "Storage/cellars/racking" under "Resources & Other Stuff". You'll find several discussions there on the same subject.

A unit that I bought last year at Sam's Wholesale Club has worked well for me. It was made in China by HEC (whoever that is) and the price was $299. It holds about 34 bottles. There are many other brands available, mostly through mail order catalogs and Internet Web sites; try www.wineenthusiast.com for one.

You can spend as much money as you could ever want to on wine storage. About seven months ago I bought a Eurocave 260 1-Temp (from Wine Enthusiast), but the price was a whole lot more than any $299!
Best wishes.

Highly recommend Kedco Wine Storage Systems, 564 Smith Street, Farmingdale, LI; 631-454-7800. Can also be found through www.sweets.com. Ask for Ken Windt or Helene Buckner. Just bought some equipment from Ken, and knew his late father Lou very well. A great guy and honast businessman.
