Eric Writes ...
This was my original "cellar."
I just took out the shelf, the supports, and the clothes hanging bar from the
hall closet, and put in a pine modular rack (I'd seen an ad in the Wine Spectator
back in '84 -- some fellow was making these in his garage). Each section consists
of two racks -- 6 sections in all, so they can stack up as shown here, or 3-each
side-by-side as in my current cellar. then, I bought some 1x12s and set up the
bins right next to it. The bin section had to be assembled in place, or there'd
have been no way to get it in the door. After leveling both units with about a
1/2" elevation in the front, I secured everything to the back and/or side walls.
My current cellar's in an L-shaped closet area underneath a staircase. Some
sectional pine racks, several home-made bins, and nine empty wooden boxes hold
~400 bottles. Each of the units are anchored to the wall, and I've used netting
around the upper levels as earthquake protection.
Here is the view at entry and
this is one a little further into the
closet, which swings around to the right.
We strongly suggest that you visit Erics
great site where you will find some wonderful tasting notes.
