Craig,
With only 28 slots in your storage unit I would advise you to use it for wines you will drink now or in the next year or two rather as a long term cellaring solution. Wines like Fonseca 1985 will be available for decades to come so let the merchants keep them for you until you need them. The only downside to this is that you risk the price going up substantially if a wine lasts well into its old age. Alternatively, you could buy some now and keep them with a commercial storage provider at minimal cost ($10-15 per year per case).
