Anybody want it, 'cause it's coming out.

    I've got a wine cave in my basement with bare walls. I plan to put all my plumbing and heating memorabilia on the bare walls and ceiling and charge admission.

    Yes, mostly French, mostly reds. Burgundies and Rhones. I like wines with terroir.

    I'm not an expert, but shouldn't the bottles on top be facing downwards to prevent the corks from drying out? Do you face them upwards if they are to be consumed soon so that the dregs settle on the bottom?

    Yes, you're right. The ones on top are for drinking soon; their corks should be OK for a short period of time. I never thought about settling the dregs, but that makes sense.

    The further down the columns of wines you go, the longer they need to stay in the bottle to mature; some, as much as 10 years. When buying wine that needs to age, I have to think about whether or not I'll be around that long.

    I can't help but notice the shipping boxes. Are you part of some type of wine buyers club?
  • Alan (California Radiant) Forbes
    Alan (California Radiant) Forbes Member Posts: 4,214
    Yes, although not really a club as far as I can tell. Called Wine Access, they send you special deals; free shipping.

    The wine racks are clear Doug Fir, built by a cabinetmaker friend of mine. I traded a Runtal radiator and boiler install for them. Six hundred slots.

    Isn't there some kind of law against shipping asbestos across state lines? :p
