How to build a wine cellar

[TheEngineer]

I remember a long time ago that there was a post on how to build a wine cellar with references to a book and a website.

Since that part of the forum is not working, I can't search it. Does anyone have any information on this?

I suggest going to Dex.... look under "Carpenters and Refrigeration Installers", Then heading to KCs' shop, order a nice bottle and stay out of the way! 'Course that's my eay...there mite be others I know nothing about. [img]/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

Search isnt working??? I am on top of that...

PW it's the Stroage/Racking,etc thread (second to bottom) that isn't working. That's why the search can't get to it.

Hasn't worked for awhile.

The book is "How and Why to Build a Wine Cellar" by Richard M. Gold, Ph.D. (in physics). Self-published, available from Sandhill Publishing, P.O. Box 9614, North Amherst, MA 01059. Tel. (413)549-0841. Cost is (was) $24.95 book rate U.S. Mail.

Above is from his third edition, 1996.

Highly recommend it. Found it very helpful when I was arm-wrestling the heat and humidity issues in my cellar 10 or so years ago.

Many thanks! I'll look for that!

Just now checked Amazon..... they have the 2007 4th edition for just under $20.

An old Website that now seems defunct was stratsplace.com, where Art Stratmeier (sp?) compiled a cellar photo album from users of his site; included were narratives describing construction, issues encountered, etc. Very interesting. Art passed away suddenly 2-3 years ago; don't know what happened to that wonderful album.

Figured out the problem, we will fix the search. It may be time to upgrade the Forum to a newer version, which may require one day of downtime. I will keep you guys posted.

A newer version would allow Google to index every tasting note and all the threads meaning more people would be able to search the Wine Board

Thanks Hotsie!
