005 - All About Wine Storage with Roy Wilson of Wine Storage Solutions LTD in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
For lovers of Bordeaux - and wines from Burgundy and the Mosel that benefit from cellaring, storing all those wines (and stories!) can become a challenge as one's collection grows.
Is a wine cabinet or cellar in your future? Do you dream of a wall of wine, with beautifully lit wine bottles? Or are you in your first apartment/flat and wonder what simple, affordable options might work for your growing wine collection?
We cover all things wine storage in this episode, including fun insights into trends in wine cabinets as well as options for small and large spaces alike!
In this episode, I chat with Roy Wilson, Managing Director of Wine Storage Solutions LTD. Roy has been collecting wines for over 30 years and has been in the wine storage business for over 15 years.
We discuss

how to store wine before you invest in a wine cabinet
trends in wine cabinets (technology, aesthetics, construction, installation)
the Espace as a solution for storing wine in unconditioned space like a garage or barn
options for storing your wine in cabinets (single shelves or stacking bottles)
and more!

004 - In this episode, I answer frequently asked questions about traveling from North America to Bordeaux.

When I’ve traveled to Bordeaux, it’s been as a solo traveler, with my spouse, and part of a small group. I’ve traveled to Bordeaux from the USA and added Bordeaux as a stop in European travels. And I’ve visited by airplane, car and without a car in the past five years.
