Re: How and where do you cellar your Ports and Madeira?

My father and I have built a "wine-storage-room in my dad's garage (about 2 by 4 metres - about 6 by 12 feet) where we store our wines and Ports. It's fully isolated and has a unit for temperature and humidity control. It's capacity is about 2000 - 2500 bottles I think. I do believe it's import...
