Great as a fun read; not so great as a practical guide to actually building a wine cellar December 25, 2007
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 June 9, 2007
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.

I was disappointed with this book. Overgeneralized suggestions with no real information on how to make the wine cellar i.e. the actual wood, plastic or whatever it is that makes the place to actually put the wine. I had been hoping for suggestions, ideas, photo's and sources for storage. Instead I got a rehash of information from other books.
 Good, solid information November 11, 2005

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! December 7, 2004

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!
