Residential Wine Cellars
Wine has become a popular beverage with many Americans, and is sold almost everywhere. This is because it is studied consistently for its wide variety in taste, depending on where it's produced, and it can be an important part of a meal, since it is known to enhance the taste of certain foods. Thus, residential wine cellars allow a homeowner the space to store their favorite wines and/or build an impressive collection of vintages. Residential wine cellars are also very affordable and don't take up that much space.
Residential wine cellars allow a wine connoisseur to store wines for a long period of time, or "age" the wine. Aging a wine contributes to its taste and sophistication. Since a wine also records its environment in its taste, temperature, humidity, light, and vibration will also impact the taste of the wine in residential wine cellars. Generally, 55?F is the average temperature that wines should be kept at. 50? to 60?F is usually acceptable, but some white wines like to be as low at 45?F.
Sudden fluctuations in the temperature can adversely affect the wine's taste. Humidity of your cellar should stay between 60% and 80%. Exposing your cellar to light should be avoided, because light disrupts the aging process. Excessive vibration of your wine can disturb the sediments found in the bottle.
Residential wine cellars don't have to cost a lot of money. In fact, you can probably build residential wine cellars yourself with your extra basement space or use an alternative area in your house or apartment. A dark interior closet or pantry will work nicely, although don't store the wine near strong-smelling foods. Keep your wine away from stoves and heat sources, as they would allow the temperature to fluctuate too much. Cool, damp basements are good as well.

Washingtonian Swiss reporting!
Tue, 17 Jun 2008 00:10:55 PDT
Gruezi and Greetings to you from an American Swiss living in the US (that blue state in the upper left corner called Washington). I am desparately trying to learn a little Schweizerdeutche before I make my fourth visit to your spectacular country. I finally found some CDs from Pimsleur which I ordered on line. I listened and talked to myself in the car on my way to work everyday (People really look at you strangely when you are at stoplights..) Anyway, now I can confidently ask if anyone wou
Did you know these knuckleheads are killing more than three horses a day on thoroughbred racetracks in the US?

All for some pseudo dirt bags to wear stupid hats and show up on a Sunday with expensive wine and not even know the names of three horses running that day? How freaking stupid can you get? You have freaking killed 5000 horses since 2003, not to mention the many who are not accounted for because of poor record keeping? Just to see them run and get whipped for over a mile? Maybe some of these morons should be forced to run, break their leg and put to sleep on the freaking track itself. That’

A Walk in the Hills
Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:45:16 PDT
Once upon a time, there were six more or less middle-aged ladies who decided to go for a walk. They were from five different countries - the U.S., Israel, Scotland, Australia and Austria. They lived in five different countries (add Switzerland and Malaysia to the mix) and only one lived in the country of her original nationality. Most of them had never met before that week. And together they had another perfect day... It was obvious from the first that the weather was going to be co-operative. T
