I find myself with a rather unexpected problem. I'm out of storage space for my wine!
This is actually due to two things. First, I've bought a number of wines that I'd like to keep for a long time, and I want to store them in such a way that they will actually benefit from aging, and not just get old and crufty. The other problem is that my new schedule give me very few opportunities to really sit down and enjoy a good wine, and so I have been tending to buy wines, but then never actually open them.
A while back, I made a wine storage cabinet out of an old fridge, and that's where I'm keeping the wines that actually deserve a quality storage facility. It is full full full. I also have a little 12-bottle wooden wine rack, and that is almost full.
I need to go through and figure out what wines really need to be in the cooler, and which ones don't really deserve that honor. Perhap that will let me stretch my storage out another year or so. However, a number of my friends want me to buy wine by the case, in order to have some sort of wine club going, where I serve as the somellier and storage person, and they ... well, basically, they pay for me to have good wine. At least that's the way that I see it. ;-) I'll let you know how that plays out.
