Wine Cellar
We can all envision a wine cellar. The wine magazines picture climate controlled vaults, modern and orderly, in the basements of serious collectors or of rows of dusty bottles in a candlelit and cobwebbed crypt.
A cellar represents a small investment made for future enjoyment. It means that you can treat yourself to a bottle of wine whenever you wish. It means that you can show hospitality to a friend who drops in unexpectedly. And it means that you can take a personal gift to friends that you visit.
With some planning, a cellar allows you to give your wine some time in the bottle before consumption, it provides a buffer for fluctuations in demand, and it also offers you variety. Make several different wines, and you can enjoy a Chianti with Wednesday pasta and a big Cabernet with the weekend roast.
While the average wine consumer drinks their wine almost immediately, as a wine maker, you have the opportunity to age your wine. Think of your most recent 30 bottles not just as the current batch, but as part of a cellar. If you would like help planning a cellar that matches your tastes, budget, and rate of consumption, it is never a must to save a few bottles from each batch but the rewards can be realized a year down the road when you pull out that bottle and become pleasantly surprised.
