This morning I got around to a task I've been avoiding -- cleaning the cellar. Among other things I had 10 cases of wine that needed to be put into racks. Plus a lot of cleaned bottles that needed sorting.
My wine closet is officially full:
The shelves on the right are boxes that I built and installed between studs when finishing my cellar -- they stick out into the crawlspace that was not converted into cellar. The bottom ones hold 14 Bordeaux bottles each, the second and third ranks holds 11 each. Most have Bordeaux bottles, but a few of the top ones are splits which contain Ports or Limoncello. The rack on the left is a commercial rack I purchased many moons ago, and it holds 11 cases.
I have 13 cases of wine that are not yet labeled, 9 of which are mine. I have another commercial rack and need to find a space for it .....
A few years back I made an English Nut Brown Ale no one cared for. It wasn't bad, it was just meh. I had a case left, which turned very malty, so I cleaned out the bottles this morning. My cellar smells like malt. Thinking about making a Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter again. THAT one disappeared quickly.
