Another question I have regards storing wine. Are there tricks or
tips to storing good wine? I've noticed several references to the
proper storage of wine in this news group. I live in hot damp florida
and am wondering if I should store wines in the garage or in the main
part of the house or what?

Thanks for any tips.

Coolest room of house even for short duration. Garage will cook your
wine in a day. For serious, long term, storage issues get a wine storage
unit, but for day to day watch for temp fluctuation and direct exposure
to high temps and strong light.

That won't be easy to do. What about small wine coolers like a person
can buy at Sears? They have one that stores 32 bottles for a bit over
$200. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to have one if I
decide to keep a bottle for an extended period of time?

Duh! I just reread your post! A wine storage cabinet may be in my
future. :0)

In the meantime I'd keep any wine you don't plan on drinking within a
month or two in coolest part of house (is it airconditioned- never
knew a FL home that wasn't). On floor (usually slightly cooler) of a
closet or something.

Our house is air conditioned (I'm living with the folks right now).
Right now I'm keeping it in a wine rack on the kitchen counter on the
ground floor of the house. I hope to get a wine storage cooler in the
near future, however. Maybe by next week. I hope the wines will hold
out till then.

I have my eye on a 30-bottle dual zone cooler put out by a company
named Dandy and sold at my local Best Buy. It's pictured here. It
looks like a beauty! :-)

Model is the Silhouette 30-Bottle Wine Cellar with Dual Temperature
Zones. I don't suppose anyone knows much about the make or model of
this cooler who could give me a review on it?
