Storing Fine Wine in Your Home
The kings of old had the most impressive wine collections in their castle homes. Fortunately, these days you can get the same without digging a moat around your home.
Storing Fine Wine in Your Home
If you have a large collection of wine bottles, a simple wine cabinet or wine refrigerator may not be large enough to hold your entire range of wine. When you've reached this point, which usually happens around 600 bottles or so, it's time to start thinking about alternative methods of storage. If you own your own home, installing one of the different types of storage solutions available on the market can be a great way to solve this problem.
Many storage units can be built underground in a basement area, typical of cellars from years past. Alternatively, you can have your wine cellar built in a climate controlled room of your house above ground. Whether you want an extravagant show piece or just a functional home for all of your wines, there are different types of wine cellars that are made to fit any taste or budget.
Wine Enthusiast, a company specializing in the creation of storage solutions, offers two different methods by which you can store your favorite vintages. They offer kits where do-it-yourselfers can piece together their own wine cellar, or custom cellars that can be built to your specifications and needs. The kit offers a more economical option for homeowners with shelving units you can put together yourself in order to obtain the desired effect. Available in mahogany, unfinished mahogany or premium redwood, these differently sized shelving units (each holding around a maximum of 100 bottles) can be placed together to create a beautiful storage unit.
Custom storage solutions are great for those enthusiasts that have enough money to design a unique, but effective storage facility that is in harmony with your home. Whether you'd like an exotic wood paneled round cellar or a one that is glass fronted and stacks wine bottles multiples deep, there are styles to fit your tastes. These custom solutions can hold thousands of bottles, which make them a perfect addition to your wine investment - there is room to grow.
Whether you want fully stocked custom solution so that you'll always have the perfect bottle to drink, or a vault for your investment - there are many different styles of wine cellar out there to choose from. Additions like tasting stands, glass fronted cabinets and climate controls all make storage units perfect for housing your collection.

If you have ever been to a portuguese restaurant, you will know that one of the things on the menu is usually the "Trinchado" which is a steak cut into cubes, served with this really yummy gravy and surrounded by homemade fries. It's delicious! This is how I make mine, you'll see that it's not hard at all and your family will love you for it. BIFE TRINCHADO 1 lb cubed beef (I used eye round steak and cut it into cubes) 3 TBSP Worcestershire sauce white wine crushed garlic bay leaf salt and
Delicious House-Warming Gifts
Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:49:25 PDT
A traditional gift for a new home is bread, salt, and wine so that the home may never know hunger, that life may always have flavor, and that joy and prosperity fill it for a lifetime. You can share this house-warming spirit with any homemade treat. Consider a basket of fresh-baked muffins, a jar of preserves, or even a gift certificate to a nearby bakery. Nothing says home like the smell of something right out of the oven - even if it's the oven down the street!
Do Try & Don't Buy
Sun, 22 Jun 2008 08:23:07 PDT
Y'all know there is nothing I like more than the sound of my very own voice so here for your enjoyment and education are some things I have bought and tried recently that either cranked my tractor right into high gear or left me stalled with a flooded engine. Please feel free to add your own recent new finds or beloved old favorites be it food, books, wine or entertainment. D and I have decided to make some lifestyle changes (nothing serious really, just trying to get IN the habit of getting O
We have clothesline!
Sun, 22 Jun 2008 09:08:42 PDT
Craig and I just put some hooks up in the house and garage that I can string a clothesline on as needed. It's a small savings, not running the dryer for everything, but it's getting more and more to the point where every little bit counts, so it'll help. Better for the planet too, drying with wind and solar energies. Next weekend I want to build a solar oven. ...Though I admit that one has more to do with having homemade cookies in the summer without having to heat up the house. Yeah, free
Wasabi Coleslaw on Roasted Paneer!
Sun, 22 Jun 2008 09:22:32 PDT
Taste & Create was one event that got me hooked on to its concept. This event hosted by Nicole of For the love of food, partners with another blogger and we got to pick a recipe from our partner's blog and prepare. Last month, though I was having a note on the time and all, I completely forgot to send the mail. This time round, I had reminders to give my name on time. And on top, my dear friend gave me a gentle reminder. I was so happy she did. I sent out a mail immediately to Nicole asking
Part 4 - Wild weekend with Shasta
Sun, 22 Jun 2008 12:18:30 PDT
I really wanted to get my final blog post up to complete my series of posts about my Toronto trip last weekend. I'm a bit hungover this morning from a very wild and fun night out at the swingers party last night with Master Anakin. I had a fabulous time and have many stories to share from our adventures yesterday. We even have a few photos from our naughty fun before we left for the party. I am hoping we hear from another couple that we are interested in getting to know more too. We exchange
Spicy Baked Tortilla Chips
Sun, 22 Jun 2008 19:37:00 PDT
Emboldened by the memory of my successful Wine Inspired Spicy Popcorn, it occurred to me to make some wine inspired homemade tortilla chips to go along with some delicious homemade salsa I received from my friend Reg. I confess, I didn't make my own corn tortillas from scratch to transform into some spicy chips, but no matter, as these homemade tortilla chips trump your typical overly crisp, excessively seasoned packaged varieties. I saved some for the next day, just to be sure. These come highl
