I had dinner last week with a VERY SERIOUS WINE PERSON, who then gave me a few cases of VERY SERIOUS WINES.
Well. I live in an un-air-conditioned fifth-floor walkup.
So I just ordered me a wine refrigerator.
In the meantime, the boxes sit in my neighbor's air-conditioned living room, two floors down.
ETA: I got a "blemished" New-Air, which was about half price, and purports to run at 35dB -- a critical quality in an apartment which already features a 20+ year old fridge, a chest freezer, and round-the-clock fans all summer.
