Book Reviews of All About Wine Cellars

Book Review: Great as a fun read; not so great as a practical guide to actually building a wine cellar
Summary: 4 Stars


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.
