Cellar Space Fail

Just received 17 bottles from UPS - some older Frenchies (CdP, CdR) - and as I tried to fit them all in my cellar, I noticed that it’s freakin FULL!

No problem, right? Well, I’ve two more cases on the way! Even the cooler in the kitchen is full of its 20 bottle capacity.

FAIL.

start drinking…

I have exactly the same problem. I unloaded 48 long term bottles from the wine fridges last month & took them to professional storage only to have, like you, another delivery and re-fill the empty space’s in a flash!

Perhaps I need to visit and donate my skills as an inventory depletion specialist.

time for offsite storage

Nope, Time for commerce corner!

Ugh…

Same problem here as I finally had to rent a 4 x 4 space at Storquest. My Eurocave and smaller Kenmore can only accomodate about 150 bottles. My wife and I consume about 1-2 bottles per week and I really just need to delete e-mails from retailers without even looking at what they are selling.

Todd, did you get your shipment from Morrell yet?

I was in the same boat but I just rented a small 12 case locker at the Wine Chest in Walnut Creek! Now I have to find the time to pack 9 or 10 cases and make the hour drive…

BTW - for those looking for storage in the East Bay/Tri Valley/Central Valley, the Wine Chest is a very good option - $15 a month for a 12 case locker, and they’ll give a 10% discount if you pay a year in advance.

bbbbbut, before he gets anything posted he spots something he can’t live without .
Better yet, rent a building and open a store.

Do you have a basement? I ran out of room in my Eurocave and got sick of offsite storage, so a buddy of mine and I did this:
(Ps - the buddy is John Blaisdell, also on this board)

Todd, if you have a closet your not using just punch a hole to the outside and put in a air conditioner…you can put hundreds of bottles in there.

Silly goose. We can whip up a few offlines to help you drink down some of that. Let’s do one per week until your can fit in your britches again.

I do not have a basement, unfortunately - I have a closet that likely two cases will rest in - neither will be long term agers anyway - one is a case of various Rosés and the other a bunch of Cabot…

1-2 bottles a week, CG?? How are you even allowed ON this forum??

i use my air-conditioned laundry room to house about 10 cases of “extra” wine bought with unnecessary and unbridled enthusiasm. if i had a wife she’d be pissed.

Wine Chest in WC huh???

what’s a basement?

Two years ago I “re-did” my underground cellar to increase capacity by 600 bottles to 1,400. By the time my 05 Bordeaux arrived I was already 400 over capacity and needed to buy a Vinoteque. Now I scream no instead of typing yes to the wine ho’s that solicit me every ten minutes.

I looked around quite a bit, and they seemed to be the best deal for storage and access. They have a keypad entry system that allows access between 7am to 11pm, 7 days. That makes it much easier to plan a trip when I need/want to access the locker. And the owner Joe is a good guy - really easy to work with.

Hey, every board has a misfit but I honestly enjoy this board. I will get consumption up to 3 bottles a week but I am afraid that it is still too little
