Wine Room (with pics)

[tcb54]

Here are some photos of the room where I keep my wine during stabilization and after bottling. It is in the basement and stays fairly cool all of the time. A good friend of mine made this rack for me. He is currently finishing up another (smaller) version for me.

Great room tcb although judging by the # of carboys you have going I think your friend is going to have to build you a bigger rack, ot a smaller rack.

Thanks, Wade...

Great job there tcb. Looks like about another 200 bottles there for racks. I would be petrified to use that room for storage with the white carpet. As many messes as I make I'm greatful to have a concrete floor to work with.
Keep up the good work.

WOW!!!! Very impressive.


Is that a photo of you playing the guitar???
Nice gun collection too...What is the 'wall-hanger' above the gun case???

 

[tcb54]

I generally do all my wine "work" in the downstairs kitchen, so the white carpet isn't an issue.


The guitar player is a buddy of mine, Doyle Dykes, a truly great guitarist.


The gun over the rack (the wall-hanger) is a 1954 Koreanrifle similar to a Mauser.

Like driving, guns and alcohol do not mix...


You have to have a designated shooter.

TCB54,
I noticed you have the carboys stacked infront of a door. Is that where all the GOOD stuff is stored

 

[tcb54]

I'm sorry for not answering sooner, but I have been away for a while.


The racks are made so that they can be stacked. They need a dowel rod drilled into the top of one and the bottom of the other.


The door goes into the poker room. Now you have to use the other door to get in.
