The Dynamic Duo of Virginia Wine at Swirl, Sip, Snark have a post up about their new wine rack. The rack was handcrafted by Grape Envy Guy and, I must say, is pretty impressive.
This feels like it should be a thing: All Virginia Wine Bloggers should post images of their wine storage for the world to see.
To kick it off, here is my non-basement wine storage. The taller rack is one I wrote about back in 2005 and it is still limping along, though just barely.
The second rack is made by Doug Fabbioli at Fabbioli Cellars. It is handmade from old barrels, including the shelf at the top.
I use the smaller rack for anything that is meant to be drunk in the next 2-3 years, anything I am storing for long term stays in the cooling unit. Unopened cases I keep in the basement because there are no good wine storage facilities in the Northern Virginia area.

Thanks for sharing Allan. We're not at the unbroken case level yet (and likely won't be anytime soon), so you've sure got us beat. Also, our basement floods regularly (old houses are sooooo much fun!), so we don't have that as an overflow storage option. Keeping our hose cold and dark is about the best we can do for now.
