More Wine Than Places to Put It?

by Farley on January 21st, 2008

wine storage issuesMy problem is certainly not the worst one you could have. But working at a winery and visiting other ones often (tomorrow, in fact) only brings out the symptoms of my already present and ever-growing sickness. Wine bottles are everywhere. Since Santa didn’t get my request in time, I had to take matters into my own hands. I’ve decided another, larger wine fridge is necessary, but it’s not an impulse buy. What was, however, was a wine rack from Cost Plus World Market. It was a fairly good deal: holds 44 bottles, unfinished pine, $60, though it doesn’t hold larger Pinot bottles. It did help. Some. But it’s gets frustrating trying to figure out to do with the extra in the meantime. Drink it, you say? Give some away you say? I’m muddling through, as I can, and will soon get to searching for my fellow blogger who had a thorough discussion about available coolers. Right now I can’t recall which.

And I’m off to lighten the load by one.

    I have the same problem - over 500 bottles in a 436 bottle cellar…http://joeswine.blogspot.com/2006/06/my-cellar.html

    That looks like a fun place to dive into. As a renter, I can’t get down and dirty like that. But you’re right, the more room you have, the more you buy. A vicious cycle.
