Wow sorry to hear that. My little vineyard has had no problems with birds in AL. I often wondered why but I think I have an answer. I have a couple of Hawks that live in the woods beside the vineyard and they seem to keep most groups of birds at bay.

In actuality any type of water can be harmful to humans in too much quantities causing dilution hyponatremia ( while very rare ) which then can cause central pontine myelinolysis and increased ICP. Again this is super rare.

I am sorry for your loss.

Now those are some really interesting and special bottles you guys enjoyed. Did the Maucaillou have any earth/ mushroom notes? Also how did the wine fair over the time once the cork was pulled?

Had a nice morning ride and gauged the sprint segment on Strava for my attempt on the number one position tomorrow. We will see if I can pull it off:n

Hey Mike! Greetings from Alabama! and YES you do have some nice water in your neck of the woods. I can tell every time I have a nice dram of my favorite scotch.

Whoops I was wrong about my unit. It is a Breezair WK4000. It has been a great little unit for Alabama heat. The Cellar is 20x10x6ft in dimension and it has run perfect.

Yea it can hold 55 degrees through most of the year. In the late summer my cellar can climb to about 60 degrees and during the late winter it can drop to about 45-50 degrees in its greatest fluctuations. I have been pretty happy with it.

Interesting thread as usual js! I happen to have a crab apple tree on my farm that makes super sweet and crisp hard crab apples.I wonder what type it is. They very similar to the ones you took a pic of. I have a second crab apple tree that has the type you described in an earlier post..soft tart...

WOW!!! Cellar cooling unit costing 120! That is amazing. My whisper cool I think was about 1000 dollars . It has been in my cellar for about 10 years and working like clock work. I have a friend who is on his 3rd cooling unit for his cellar ( he has about 2000 bottles and it was pro built ) in...

Polymerization is what you want as well as micro oxidation which is IMHO just as important and takes time hence the long wait.

Actually pretty reasonable price for what it is. IMHO, that would be worth every penny.

tbuck, question. how far does the venting of the cooling unit have to run before there is enough volume of air to allow the cooling unit to do it's job? Thanks! Great job! You have some serious carpenter skills.

Really fun to read through! Thanks for sharing!
