Time to clear out the cobwebs, tend to the yard, plant some flowers, herbs or whatever fancies you. It’s so wonderful to be outside again. Yet, don’t forget about the inside. Especially, if you have a wine cellar: it’s time to check on it, too. Not what’s in it, but how it’s functioning. Since some — but not all– wine cellars have refrigeration. What kind of unit do you have? Self-contained? Custom refrigeration? Now is the time to make sure the unit is running properly. Spring is here, but with that comes the temperature swings, and eventually, the heat index rises. With SUMMER just-around-the-corner, here is a worthwhile observation: not all refrigeration units are created equal. Some units can be fixed or serviced, others, if they haven’t been working, should be replaced. Keep in mind that it’s possible to retrofit a wine cellar with refrigeration, if the room has been built correctly. At Compleat Wine Cellars, we can help you do just that. Inquiry phone calls, emails (with picture attachments), and appointments at the showroom are welcome at NO CHARGE. If we can be of assistance, house calls are available for a nominal fee, please contact us to schedule one: call 612.278.4437 or email info@compleatwinecellars.com.

Uncle Joe’s Wine Cellar
Dearest Uncle Joe. A confirmed bachelor, he amassed many things in life: books on every subject – from travel to languages, art to investing – he was a walking opinionated reference library about most of every subject. Joe lived a spartan existence by most standards – a spacious 2 bedroom apartment in a mostly residential neighborhood. He didn’t believe in home ownership – too much commitment – however he did have a wine cellar. With his passing 3 years ago today, we inherited his collection of priceless gems and should note some of the exceptional and not-so-wonderful things found in his cellar…
Now, Joe was never technically my uncle. We chose Joe – he became a fixture at our table, glass in hand, ready to spout off on the latest news topic during Sunday Dinner.
