I have a Transtherm cabinet, model is called the Loft. It is supposed to hold about 140 bottles at full capacity but I have it at about 100-120 and there is not much room left. I find that the wooden sliding shelves are just a bit small as they don't accomodate for all bottle shapes. When you have a...

Hi Bill, I did a similar type of setup (less the concrete floor) under my stairs. I used 40mm high density polurathane insulation which is the same as alot of the food transport truck bodies. I lined all walls, roof, floor and door and then covered all insulation with 4mm mdf panels also sealing aro...

I don't use a cooling system in my cellar (which I only keep my regular drinking wines in as my keepers are in a wine fridge) but I have lined the whole area with 40mm high density polyurathane insulation as used in refridgerated truck bodies. It varies in temperature between 12 - 15 degrees during ...

What do you mean by scam?

I also enjoy a nice aged wine that has been cellared carefully but I also have an interest in the second hand wine market and also wine as an investment opportunity. Just curious to get peoples opinions.

Just curious on everyones thoughts whether the Block 42 will be a good investment.

No, still the same. I received the information back from the data logger which showed the humidity never over 60% and as low as 30% which seems to be when the motor is running. Was told that this is normal. As now I have some super premium bottles stored I am quite concernd. I have tried putting a s...

I really enjoyed this wine. Aromas of plum, chocolate and berries. Palate well balanced and smooth with plum and red berries, slight pepper.

Well the dinner party came and went and the Johann is still in the rack. Instead we had a '99 Rockford Basket Press and a '97 Stonewell Shiraz.

RB's program works perfect for what I want.

Hi Frank, I use a cabinet by transtherm which controls temp and humidity. It holds 140 bottles max or 90 using the shelving layout. I tried the insulation way and it doesn't work unless you use a temp controller of some sort.I couldn't find a unit that was for smaller size cellars. Do a google searc...

I am planning to open a bottle of the 04 Johann next week during a dinner party we are having. After your tasting notes I may keep it for myself to enjoy.

Recently I purchased a Transtherm wine cabinet (model name-loft) and have noticed that I have been getting very low humidity readings. At times the readings have been as low as 25% and only as high as 58%. As the loft model does not have its own humidity gauge I have been using a temp/hygrometre tha...
