Wine Room Redo

Posted on July 25, 2022June 23, 2024 By stega

Carrying on from the last post, the studio building also has a wee wine room. When we first viewed the property, there wasn’t much wine in the space, but there sure was a lot of wine storage.

I have a small collection of interesting wines that I started accumulating after first moving to California. Nothing extravagant; mainly just things I got from the old Bonny Doon Wine club (BOO that they shut down the club a while back!). Anyway, between that and a couple trips to BevMo after moving in, we had close two hundred bottles of wine–which sounds like a lot, but really was only enough to fill the back rack in the pic above.

When we had the great flood in the studio building in 2017, all that wine had to get moved out and into a spare bathroom–the best option for a cool dry space, as the crawlspace was still chock full of diesel furnace ducts. I vowed when moving all those bottles that we would not buy more wine anytime soon, nor would we ever fill up all the racks in the wine room.

Over the last five years, we–well I, as Agent Smith is not a big wine drinker–have managed to slowly work through a few dozen bottles. Since we now also use the room for a few servers, as it has its own air conditioning unit to keep the temperature stable, we soon discovered that largest rack structure was really just wasted space, so we pulled it out and put the remains in a dumpster.

The end result is a lot more space, plus a bit of blank wall space to hang a few pictures not currently being shown in the house. In addition, the small collection of bins of holiday decorations are also squirreled away there; considering most of our holiday decorations are tarted up stuffed toys from when I was kid, having a bug-free environment to store them is a nice bonus.

And now...
