Well looks like I’ll be seeing some of you on Saturday in that case. Where do you park? I don’t frequent that area very often, so not sure what the parking is like.

If you’re lucky, you can get street parking on Connecticut, but more likely you will have to settle for parking in the garage under the Giant, which is accessible from the side street (Veazy or something).

Thanks! And is the enterance to walk into Domaine actually on Connecticut?

Yeah, parking is interesting sometimes, since the Domaine entrances are in kind of a back alley…they have two spots right in front of the big garage door that goes down to the delivery ramp. If the door is open, just park on the ramp, or in one of those spots in front of the door if it’s closed. Worst case, there’s are a couple public parking garages right nearby, once on Connecticut ave and one around the side on Veazey terrace.

The entrance is actually back in the alley. Depending on how long you’re staying, parking in the alley or in the back Walgreen’s spots are options.

Nope, around back…behind CVS, right next to the CVS parking spots and the electric car charging station. There’s a blue fence and an awning over the Domaine door.

Good deal. At least now I won’t be wandering around like an aimless donkey. Can’t wait to see this place. Do you guys use the Premier or Standard Storage option?

I do Standard, since I go up there fairly often, especially during shipping season, and half the fun to me is doing inventory and logging everything into CT myself

If I never made it up there, and didn’t like playing on CT, I would have done Premier.

[J_Singleton]

I love CT, but I slacked off and stopped keeping track. Plus I was bad at keeping track of consumed bottles. So essentially I’d be starting from scratch. Too daunting to tackle myself.

Wide World has been good for me but I understand that it is hard to get in these days.

A-ha! That’s one of the other places that I forgot about. It was my understanding that they were full and had a waiting list, at least as of a couple years ago. If they lost any significant number of clients to Domaine, maybe they have space now.

Interesting. Last time I was was in that store I was poking around their “basement” cellar.

On the floor were some old looking rarified bottles with tags…1910 Lafite, 1919 Chateau Margaux, etc, etc. Curious, I was picking them up, looking at fill, label, capsule, etc, turning them around looking for the price tag.

Within a few minutes of that, a woman came down and informed me that those bottles were “the property of private clients who store their wine with us”.

Guess it was a good thing I didn’t step on and break one!

That’s some security they’ve got in place there!

This is why i bought a house with an unfinished basement. I don’t have any parking problems when i want to visit my cellar.

I had that luxury until in moved to DC. Now I have about 800 sq feet. But I like it a lot better than Fairfax, aside from the less space and no room for wine. But unless I’m mistaken it sounds like you’re offering to house my wine. You’re the best!

Domaine is easily the best storage facility I’ve ever used.

+1 (although to be fair, the only other facility within the city’s boundaries set a very low bar to hurdle)

you’re being generous Scott…

[Frank_Drew]

In addition to Wine Rack, Wide World of Wines and now Domaine Wine Storage, Security Storage on Florida near Conn. Ave. offers, or used to offer, wine storage. There’s the place in Fairfax that Kevin mentioned (Stor-All), plus the place up near BWI, Safe Harbor Wine Storage.

I agree with all the positive comments about Domaine’s service and facilities; parking’s limited, but I think they’re trying to arrange something in-building.

[k_s_h_i_n]

I am a big fan of Domaine. Before some of us moved into Storeall, they had high vacancy. A few friends moved in and now the issue is they want to increase the rate annually.

[Frank_Drew]

I guess they actually prefer the high vacancy (see: Wine Rack).

It’s much quieter without all those pesky customers

Hey Mo! Domaine is where we send all of our customers who are looking for storage. And all have been very thankful for it. I have 3 lockers there, but trying to work on a good deal for one the big ones…

[J_Singleton]

Heading up there around 1 today. Look forward to seeing if any of you are there.
