I hope I am in the right topic. I am a new member of this forum.
I will be moving in Fort Worth Texas very very soon. I have a decent wine cellar and I buy quite a few mature bottles at auctions and around the country. Texas seems to me very difficult to have wine shipped to. So I am looking for a place to have my purchases sent to a good, close by, wine storage facility either in Oklahoma or Louisiana. Any advice?

Nothing in OK that I’m aware of Jonathan. Plus shipping here is more restrictive than TX anyway.
Ok. Looks like Oklahoma is out of question. I have found the following in Louisiana, not too far from Fort Worth:

Does anyone know about them?
Read in the suggested topic that some of you guys are keeping wine in Dallas but suppliers (HDH for example) refuse to ship to Texas.
I am confused.

That place in LA doesn’t look humidity controlled. Maybe not a big deal if you pick up frequently.
TX is no go for shipping from out of state retailers. Wineries in the US may ship if they obtain a license.
Too bad there’s no extra space at Cushing… 
Louisana is as difficult to have wine shipped to as I have seen… Have you done your DD on the wineries and such… Quick example, no sea smoke, no QC, no San and many others can be shipped to non distributor.
Auctions may be a tad easier, but I’ve found texas to be much friendlier
A bunch of Texans looked into this a while back. While we agreed it was a good idea, none of us really wanted to trust someone we did not know to handle the wines. Fortunately my mother lives in Missouri and has a nice passive cellar that she uses for storing potatoes. I have it shipped there and pick it up. The UPS man is nice enough to carry it down for her so that she does not have to negotiate the stairs.
