Had some open slots in the wine cooler and needed to get my 2019 Sliver Oak bottles to keep the collection going.

BUT... I have a problem! The cooler is to Humid, white "mold" and labels are getting all messed up! I called EuroCave and they walked me through an elaborate recalibration process. I'll let it sit for a day and then I need to take out every bottle, clean them with a vinegar solution, wipe the inside, let it sit for 30 mins, put a new charcoal filter in it, put them all back and Hope this goes away! I'll get a count but i think 30-40 bottles are looking like crap. What a total Bummer.




I guess we need to start drinking more wine. I've kind of slowed down a little but some of the older bottles need to get opened.

Well that's not good news.. ! - a big problem looks like. How or why did that happen ??Did you miss a filter replacement as scheduled..or other issue not known.?? It's a bummer no matter how you look at it. Hope you can resolve it without too much of a loss..! - Good luck there Bud..!

Ouch!

We’re about to start a major drink off of our cellar. We’re listing the house in a few weeks and the new one doesn’t have a cellar so we’ll go back to one of the 200 bottle wine fridges. It’s been in storage for 20 years so I guess I should plug it in and see if it still cools down.

This is a fun topic! I can’t believe I haven’t posted in here before. Had this Hess estate grown, fantastic wine for the price.

Paid off the mortgage today so we’re celebrating with a nice red blend from WA before I start cooking venison tenderloins.

Enjoyed this one quite a bit. If you’re a Malbec fan, recommend giving this one a try.
