All great responses - now I remember why I always thought this was such a
great group of people.

I do feel better about power outages. I don't feel any better about a
cooling unit failure. I have e-mailed Vinotemp to see if they handle
cooling unit replacement and how quick they can get one to me. And how to
install it. I am thinking about another unit also - we can use a credenza
type furniture in the dining room also and there is a matching Vinotemp 220
bottle format in that format. Save the good stuff in an emergency I
suppose.

I still miss my old basement walk in wine cellar most of all and really,
really "dig" the idea of utilizing the backyard space behind my living room
for an underground cellar. I am only a few feet above the 100 year flood
plain so anything in ground would be in the danger zone. Sigh.
