5 out of 5 stars Wine Cellar Construction Guide   January 3, 2008
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book has been extremely helpful. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed when I received it as it wasn't covered in color pictures of steps along the way, as other books include. However, in browsing other books they fail to address the details and precautions based on experience that the author's instructions provide. The author does a great job of defining the steps, yet allowing the reader to develop his own designs to suit his needs. Books with pictures would tend to sway the reader to try to build what they see. Thanks again for developing this guide.


5 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to building a wine cellar   December 20, 2007
I've used this book with great success, building two wine cellars of our own, and advising a number of other people on problems they faced in building (or rebuilding :( ) their own cellars.

It's been vetted on a number of the wine discussion groups, in particular one the WineLovers Page where 25 to 30 different people have used it, and commented on it favorably over the years.

Practicality is very, very important in the wine cellar world, and it's very hard to think of everything. Richard Gold becomes a very good friend indeed. Read the book before beginning -- and reread it often -- as construction proceeds. Even experienced builders make mistakes in this specialized field.

5 out of 5 stars Go passive design! Excellent information.   November 12, 2007
 7 out of 8 found this review helpful

Richard Gold's book is the consummate cellar dweller's guide to designing and building a wine cellar for the home. Through detailed examinations of wall sections, insulation, cooling units, moisture and temperature control and other considerations, Gold evaluates a variety of techniques and technologies applying analysis and personal experience to highlight the most promising strategies. His generally noninterventionist approach to cellar design is a refreshing alternative to the propositions of the cooling unit manufacturers, reinforcing the importance of proper design and superinsulation strategies - which hold the promise of improved reliability as well as reduced dependence upon your local energy company. Needs some additional editing, but definitely a recommended read for anyone contemplating construction of a new home cellar.


5 out of 5 stars The Source   August 6, 2007

If you are planning to build or are building a wine cellar you need this book, it is the source. Dr. Gold draws on his experiences and research in building his own cellar and offers clear explanations as to the "why's" and concise specifications for the "how's". I bought edition 3 for myself and my contractor to guide the construction of my passive cellar that has maintained a steady 54 degrees thru its first winter and 60 degrees thru the summer.
Picked up edition 4 to see what's new - updates on newest construction materials and new information on sourcing wines and wine info thru the internet.
