Great as a fun read; not so great as a practical guide to actually building a wine cellar
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Fifteen years ago I had a great idea about how to build a koi pond with the biofilters in the basement, and with the pond itself in the greenhouse one floor above the filters. We got plans, approvals, estimates -- and even did some of the preliminary work. Four years later I got enough cash together to actually build the system, and it took two years and several start overs to get the pond up and running. As the guy who made it work said: "You have a great concept, Bob, but you don't know beans about building a koi pond that will actually work." I really enjoy Howard Goldberg's writing, he's been a regular on "The New York Times" wine beat for a number of years, and this book is great fun to read. But if you are really serious about building a wine cellar, check out How and Why to Build a Wine Cellar, Fourth Edition by Richard Gold. Goldberg's book is pure concept; Gold's is pure practicality.

excellent wine cellar overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Covered much more history etc than I was interested in. He does an excellent job and it is a decent read. It goes over the basics do's and don't if you're interested in constructing your own cellar. However, I found google search and wine refrig web sites to be far more productive especially Rosehill located in Canada. Great website for practical info.
Good, solid information

Easy-to-read book about building and maintaining a wine cellar. Great tips and the author discusses things to consider that I would have never thought of. A nice book if you plan to build your own wine cellar.
An useful and enjoyable read!

This book is an easy read, perfect for relaxing by a warm fire while drinking a favorite glass of wine. Golberg's personal experiences and stories are entertaining while providing useful and educational information about wine, storage (cellaring), glassware, and general wine stuff. This casual book would be a great gift to a wine lover, or a 'carry on the airplane' book for yourself. Very nice font and paper that is easy on the eyes!
