Sometime in the next few months I will need to pull the remaining inventory from my distributor and put it into storage. I’m on a boat and the condo isn’t done for another 18ish months. My guess is 20-40 cases.
Todd,
I’ve looked for Miami storage for the past few years with no luck. Several places closed. Domaine was supposed to open up storage between Miami and Palm Beach, but as far as I know they never completed the project and they couldn’t have been less helpful when I reached out to them. Let me know if you have any luck!

Indeed. I have a new 12x9 space that runs about $625/mo. So that price is within reason. I don’t know how much it holds yet, but I’m hoping 300-400 cases maybe?
I think that list hasn’t been updated in a while. Plus, I don’t think its meant in any way certifying the quality of wine storage facilities on that list, just listing places that offer wine storage as a service. At least that’s the way I see that list. It’s one one of those that can serve as a starting point for those searching for storage, but those interested reakly should probe and investigate further to ensure they’re storing in a good place. I just figured I’d note it, and Todd or others can investigate those facilities further if they are interested. I don’t store any wine in Florida, so can’t comment on the quality of any storage facility there.
Yeah - fair enough. Sorry. I’m touchy. Have a friend who lost a significant portion of an irreplaceable collection from a fire at a place on that list.
No worries Alex. I think you’re right to caution others to be weary of places on the list. Your post served as a reminder that not everyone has the same mentality I do and some can see that list as a seal of approval for those facilities without doing further due diligence into the facility before storing wines there.
One of my former Rotary members built this facility. It is virtually indestructible. Anyway he donated a locker to a charity auction. I bid and won. I was surprised at the number of cases I could fit in it. I don’t remember the dimensions but it was small but tall. You can stack lots of cases as long as they are styrofoam free.
You should visit and see for yourself.
Happy New Year!
It is with great joy that we announce the opening of Domaine Florida in Pompano Beach as the newest facility in our ever-expanding network! With 45,000 cases of capacity this facility boasts the most robust environmental and security controls of any wine storage facility in the state and connects Florida wine lovers with those throughout North and South America.
